Business Agglomeration-Based Decision Support Systems to Identify Prospective Locations for New Businesses

Selecting the right location when establishing new business firm is one imperative key to a successful growth of an establishment. Additionally, previous studies have also found that business firms form business agglomerations that enable these enterprises to collaborate. However, this agglomeration also produces some latent threats, for instance the intraspecific competition between establishments belongs to the same group. Thus, it is then logical to consider the task of selecting business location for a new establishment as a mission of identifying prospective business agglomeration in which the new establishment would be able to compete with existing business firms. This study develops a decision support system that helps to recognize prospective locations for new businesses by incorporating the competition indices within existing business agglomerations. Results from conducted experiment suggest that the developed system is capable to complete such task with a reasonable degree of acceptance

Doing business in China: from contracts to a business establishment

There are two basic ways for a New Zealand company (or other business organisation) to do business in China. One is to enter into contracts with business partners in China to purchase and/or export your products and services to China. The other is to set up in China a business establishment, either a company or a liaison office, to deal or assist with the business

Looking back on three years of Synthetic LBD Beta

Distributions of business data are typically much more skewed than those for household or individual data and public knowledge of the underlying units is greater. As a results, national statistical offices (NSOs) rarely release establishment or firm-level business microdata due to the risk to respondent confidentiality. One potential approach for overcoming these risks is to release synthetic data where the establishment data are simulated from statistical models designed to mimic the distributions of the real underlying microdata. The US Census Bureau\u27s Center for Economic Studies in collaboration with Duke University, the National Institute of Statistical Sciences, and Cornell University made available a synthetic public use file for the Longitudinal Business Database (LBD) comprising more than 20 million records for all business establishment with paid employees dating back to 1976. The resulting product, dubbed the SynLBD, was released in 2010 and is the first-ever comprehensive business microdata set publicly released in the United States including data on establishments employment and payroll, birth and death years, and industrial classification. This paper documents the scope of projects that have requested and used the SynLBD

Synthetic Establishment Microdata Around the World

In contrast to the many public-use microdata samples available for individual and household data from many statistical agencies around the world, there are virtually no establishment or firm microdata available. In large part, this difficulty in providing access to business micro data is due to the skewed and sparse distributions that characterize business data. Synthetic data are simulated data generated from statistical models. We organized sessions at the 2015 World Statistical Congress and the 2015 Joint Statistical Meetings, highlighting work on synthetic \emph{establishment} microdata. This overview situates those papers, published in this issue, within the broader literature

The Composition of Business Establishment in Smaller and Larger Communities in Canada

Between 1993 and 1996 there was a large number of business establishment starts in smaller and larger communities in Canada, indicating significant business establishment development in the post recessionary period of the 1990s. Between 1993 and 1996 smaller communities had a larger ratio of smaller establishments (under 10 employees) to population than larger communities. In today's economy, new establishments tend to have fewer employees (under 10 employees) and are located in the service and construction sectors of the economy.Community/Rural/Urban Development,

Sustainable Business Ecosystem Establishment

The model of ecosystem is widely used both in the research literature as well as in the business environment. However, as the model is different in each domain, the notion of ecosystem has become scattered. The main goal of this study was to create high-level model based on business ecosystem model that can be applicable in various domains. This thesis has demonstrated advantages for adopting this model in comparison to other network models. In addition, the thesis has provided rationale to use business ecosystem as a base model for other ecosystem types This thesis has assembled the structure of ecosystem that al- lows to utilize the model in various domains. This structure defines members, their roles in the ecosystem, and relationships between ecosystem actors. Moreover, this thesis demonstrates practices of using cooperation and coopetition in the model. In addition, it determines an approach to form an economically sustainable ecosystem and to adopt the service-dominant logic in the model. Finally, this study provides the means to consider end users and customers as members of the ecosystem through co-creation. The result of this thesis provides a high-level ecosystem model as a basis for future studies

Apartheid in Miami: Transit Workers Challenge the System

[Excerpt] The story that follows will show how Dade County officials and the downtown Miami business establishment attempted to bust the transit union and dismantle a vital public transportation service to Miami\u27s minority, elderly and working-class communities. In the name of efficiency, Miami\u27s political and business establishment worked hand-in-hand with the Reagan administration to make minority workers and their communities pay for the mistakes of what experts say is one of the most mismanaged transit systems in the country. This is the story of how the union organized with the community to expose this mismanagement and how the union tried to address bad management practices by offering contract language which would give the union and the workforce a voice in how Dade\u27s transit system is run

Testimony of John M. Abowd Before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, Subcommitte on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade, United States House of Representatives

We focus attention on gross flows in the labor market and their role in economic reallocation. Economists distinguish between movements of individuals (gross worker flows) and those associated with businesses (gross job flows). The gross worker flows are accessions (hiring and recalls) and separations (quits, layoffs, retirements, and firings). The gross job flows are creations (increases in the employment of a given business establishment) and destructions (decreases in employment of a given business establishments). In our testimony, we discuss the different flows and the regional variation therein over the last recession

Establishments dynamics, vacancies and unemployment: a neoclassical synthesis

This paper develops a Walrasian equilibrium theory of establishment dynamics and matching frictions and uses it to analyze business cycle fluctuations. Two scenarios are considered: one in which the matching process is subject to congestion externalities and another in which it is not. The paper finds that the scenario with congestion externalities replicates U.S. business cycle dynamics much better than the scenario with efficient matching. Reallocation shocks improve the empirical behavior of the model in terms of microeconomic adjustments but have little consequences for aggregate dynamics.Unemployment ; Business cycles
