Cím:	Cities as control and command centres [elektronikus dokumentum] : analysis and interpretation / Peter J. Taylor, György Csomós
Dátum:	2011
Megjegyzések:	Leírás a nyitó képernyőről, 2011.09.23. Headquarter functions of major corporations have been an important theme in the study of cities as control and command centres in globalization. In the original two classic formulations, they are a prominant feature in John Friedman's (1986) definition of a world city hierarchy, and are integral to Saskia Sassen's (1991) specification of global cities. In subsequent studies of world/global cities the idea of control and command centres remains a key component of understanding the role of cities in globalization (e.g. Ni et al 2011). In this short paper we add to this literature critically in two distinctive ways. In Part One, we present a current and comprehensive analysis of headquarter functions in which the results of 'control and command' are measured directly in terms of the quantity of revenue generated in cities by firms headquartered there. This is a basic measure of the economic success of a city in terms of the earnings of its major firms that are of that city. But as the term command and control implies, it can also be viewed as an indication of the importance of a city as an economic power; the corporate concentration within a city to wield power in a dynamic world economy. The overall implication is that command and control is a good thing for a city and augors well for its prospects, afterall the greater its headquarter functions the more a city's future role in the world economy is in its own hands.
