The behavioural approach of packers and movers pune
Summing
up, we may conclude that neo- classical relocation theory not only focuses on
location factors that are well covered in location theory and could be denoted
as locational pull factors but also covers the factors triggering a relocation
the push factors. The spatial margins to profitability discriminate between
profitable packers and movers pune and unprofitable locations and are therefore useful in determining
where a firm should locate pull. However as it turns out they usually span
quite a large area within which firms may operate profitably. Changes in these
boundaries are therefore not sufficient in explaining why firms want to move
the push factors. In addition we have to look for internal processes within the
firm of which firm growth as a result of economies of scale is the most common
one.
The
behavioural approach
The
simple neo- classical theory is useful as a benchmark that defines the optimal
behavior of the firm in economic terms under the assumptions of rationality and
perfect information. However it does not take in to account the internal
dynamics of firms in a context with imperfect information and uncertainty where
profit maximizing behavior is not the ultimate goal. This motivated Simon 1955,
1957 and Cyert and March 1963 to develop a behavioural theory of the firm which
is based on more realistic notions of limited information and bounded
rationality. Here optimizing behavior is movers and packers pune replaced by satisficer behavior.
The
behavioural approach was also
successfully introduced in location theory primarily by pred 1967, 1969. The
behavioural approach became popular in all branches of human geography Cox and
Golledge 1981; Harvey, 1969. Apart from the general points of criticism towards
neo- classical theory the application of these behavioural ideas in location theory
was also motivated by the optimal location of industries.
Benoit, 1995 or
equivalently spatial margins to profitability approach Hayter, 1997. If
regional economic conditions show limited variation this leaves many profitable
sites to choose from. Than firm specific economic factors or non- economic
factors may become of more importance for the explanation of firm relocation.
The behavioural approach takes these factors explicity in to account.
The
behavioural approach is especially geared towards firm relocation. We noted
above that the key difference between location and relocation theory is that
location theory is more concerned with locational pull factors, whereas
relocation also deals with push- factors the trigger to moving. This fits
directly in to a simplified description of the decision process of the firm.
