Enterprise Location

Course aims

This course deals with theory and practice of location behaviour and decision-making. Enterprise location forms the basis of spatial structures, evolutionary development of these spatial structures as well as territorial policies. These categories are examined primarily from economic point of view, nonetheless social and environmental aspects of spatial issues are discussed as well.
