Location Decision
What is Location Decision?
The choice of where to site a business or one of its operations, made by weighing factors such as proximity to raw materials and markets, transport, labour cost and skill, land and premises, energy, infrastructure, government support and legal constraints. The correct decision is reached by judging which factors matter most to the particular business, not by counting how many favour each site.
This definition is part of the Operations Management chapter in Cambridge O Level Business Studies.
