A chapter in The International Allocation of Economic Activity, 1977, pp 178-182 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Location theory as presented in Professor Isard’s paper is concerned with where a producer is likely to succeed m capturing and holding a market. It also suggests some of the circumstances which might cause him to lose it as time goes to somebody in a different location. I propose to limit my comments to this latter aspect, using some of the results obtained by studies of innovation and diffusion, an area which is — just as economic location theory — much concerned with questions of location and circulation. My emphasis though, will be on the location and circulation of information rather than goods.
