“…High-tech companies are more likely to relocate their corporate headquarters for non-economic reasons including their use of a global production network [46]. Biotech companies migrate frequently to Ireland and Switzerland due to lower taxes and availability of highly qualified workers [45].…”

“…Companies' exit from the United States is caused mainly by the search for cheap labor and for highly qualified specialists. A good example of this is the biotechnology industry, which has been migrating to Switzerland and Ireland in recent years [45]. certain glaring example of this is the case of President Obama persuading Pfizer from leaving the United States in the year 2016.…”

In recent years, some cities have experienced significant growth in terms of command and control functions of cities, and thus have managed to relocate themselves to a much upscale position in the global economy. The main goal of this study is to examine the command-and-control function of cities and the impact of the relocation of corporate headquarters on a city’s command-and-control function. The study examines the changes in the revenues of companies located in selected cities and countries and measure the command-and-control function (“C&C”) of cities that well illustrates the strength of cities and countries in the global economy. To achieve our goals, we employ a composite indicator, the Command and Control Index that integrates such fundamental financial data of companies as revenues, profits, market value, and assets. In the analysis, we consider the companies that are listed by Forbes Global 2000. Our findings reinforce that the command-and-control function of the traditional centers of corporate headquarters has been lessening for a while, whereas cities located in developing countries and China in the first place have been occupying an increasing position in the global command and control. Now, we are experiencing the robust growth of Beijing’s command-and-control function index, and the decline of that index of the former leaders (i.e., New York, London, and Tokyo). We can also draw the conclusion that the migration of headquarters does not significantly impact the change of cities’ command-and-control function. In addition, when relocating the headquarters, most companies have remained within the same country and some of them have not even left the metropolitan area itself. In recent years, the number of those companies that have relocated the corporate headquarters has increased, and they have experienced increase in their revenues as well. To attract more corporate headquarters, cities has to offer an attractive environment for companies which strategy should be supported by such governmental initiatives as the reduction of corporate taxes for relocated companies.

“…The interest of researchers in the field of factors and the assessment of the location of the industry was continual (though slightly smaller than in previous years) (Fierla, 1994(Fierla, , 1996Fierla, Kuciński, 1996, Kuciński, 2001Stryjakiewicz, 2009;Tobolska, 2011;Godlewska-Majkowska, 2013. In addition, research issues not addressed directly to the structural changes of Polish industry regarding control functions of international corporations and large industrial enterprises and their role in the development of spatial arrangements were also undertaken (Domański, 2005;Zioło, 2006;Śleszyński, 2007Kilar, 2014b;Raźniak, Dorocki, Winiarczyk-Raźniak, Płaziak, Szymańska, 2016;Raźniak, Dorocki, Winiarczyk-Raźniak, 2018;Boguś, Dorocki, 2018), as well as processes of transformation of the industry or its selected departments in selected countries (e.g. Dorocki, Borowiec, Boguś, 2013;Dorocki, 2014;Wójtowicz, Rachwał, 2017;Wójtowicz, 2017).…”

The research themes of geography of industry are continually evolving. The dynamic development of this sector of the economy after 1945 in the conditions of the socialist economy, in which the processes of industrialisation of the country were treated as priorities, as well as the processes of economic transformation in Poland after 1989, influencing the changes in the previously developed socio-economic structures, including industry structures, influenced the shaping of the research problem of this sub-discipline of geography in Poland. These changes, leading to the adaptation of these structures to the changing management principles, take place under the influence of impulses from the international environment associated with building a knowledge-based economy and moving from the industrial and post-industrial phase to the informational phase of civilisation development. These essential issues of transformation of industrial structures in the period of economic transformation and the development of a knowledge-based economy have become the subject of interest of many researchers, including economic geographers. The article presents the evolution of the themes and the main directions of research on structural changes in Polish industry in the conditions of transition from the centrally planned economy to market economy. In conclusion, it is shown that Polish geography of industry has undertaken significant scientific and economic problems of structural changes in industry during the period of economic transformation, continually updating its research priorities. Researchers quickly reacted to changes in the legal and political conditions of the functioning of the national economy, despite numerous barriers, related to, among other things, limited access to data on industrial activities, resulting in the lower interest of geographers in industrial research. The paper ends with recommendations regarding future possible research directions and a comprehensive bibliography of the studies.
