Site Selection for Growing Companies was conceived and developed to fill the void that has existed in the literature for selecting a new business location for over 30 years. Several books dealing with business location have been published over the past several decades. However, they did not provide an easy-to-read, step-by-step approach to the selection of a new business location. They were, in general, written from an academic standpoint and not from a how-to-do-it approach.
The information presented herein is the outgrowth of over three decades of the authors experience and research into the various ways that businesses and consultants have utilized the location process. The result of this work is a document that can be used by the management of a small or mid-sized company to plan, organize, investigate, evaluate, and select a new location for its business operation.
