“…Planimetría del sitio Tambillitos. Extraído de Bárcena (1977) Las excavaciones en el sitio revelaron una ocupación de un solo grupo cultural durante un lapso breve, que coincidiría con la dominación inca. Se hallaron puntas de flecha triangulares pequeñas de obsidiana o cuarzos; una moleta con pigmento rojo en su cara superior y trozos de minerales pigmentosos (ocres); restos óseos de camélidos asociados a fogones; restos óseos humanos; valvas de molusco (Diplodon sp.)…”

“…A partir del análisis de la cerámica decorada se determinó la presencia del estilo Inca Policromo (sensu Rowe 1946), un estilo inca de "variante regional de hechura", cuyos productores provendrían de los centros regionales del incario del Norte Chico chileno o de Chile Central, y algunos fragmentos del "diaguita clásico" y el "cuarto estilo" (Bárcena 1977).…”

“…Esta tarea en el valle de Uspallata fue continuada por el equipo dirigido por Joaquín Roberto Bárcena, con foco en los sitios incaicos. En un principio los estudios estuvieron orientados al registro y sistematización de los tambos y de la vialidad anexa (Bárcena 1977(Bárcena , 1988(Bárcena , 1993; luego a interpretaciones sobre funcionalidad intra e intersitio y a su jerarquización y vinculación con otras áreas de control estatal dentro y fuera del valle (Bárcena y Román 1990;García Llorca 1991, 1996Bárcena 1998bBárcena , 1999Bárcena , 2001Cahiza 1997Cahiza , 2003Ots 2002Ots , 2004Cahiza y Ots 2005), con aportes metodológicos que incluyeron análisis sobre estercoleros, maderas y carbones (Roig y Bárcena 1997, 1998Bárcena y Dacar 1999, entre otros. Se trabajaron además sitios del precerámico y de la etapa cerámica (Bárcena 1974(Bárcena -76b, 1978(Bárcena , 1982 y se atendió a la conservación y gestión patrimonial (Bárcena 1991(Bárcena , 2004.…”

Transcurridos cincuenta años de la publicación del trabajo “Arqueología del valle de Uspallata, Provincia de Mendoza” escrito por Juan Schobinger en la revista Relaciones, actualizamos la nómina de sitios arqueológicos y sumamos evidencias, datos e interpretaciones generadas desde entonces por diversos equipos de investigación. Se incluyen además aportes específicos de análisis cerámicos, líticos, del arte rupestre, isotópicos, bioarqueológicos, arquitectónicos, entre otros. El tiempo transcurrido desde la publicación original permite discutir cómo ha cambiado la periodización de las ocupaciones del valle y la forma de hacer e interpretar los patrones materiales en una de las principales áreas arqueológicas del Centro-oeste argentino.

“…Another consideration is that the selected site has to enable business growth. Companies also consider things such as the condition of the property/premises, condition of lease and availability of parking that are contributing factors for companies to select sites and buildings in particular locations (B arcena-Ruiz and Garz on, 2014). In some instances, site selection decisions are based on personal preferences, for example, a location closer to where the owner of the company lives (Greenhalgh, 2008).…”

Purpose There are multitudes of sites and buildings offering various services to their occupiers. Studies highlight that companies choose sites and buildings that enable business’ growth and competition. The purpose of this paper is to explore occupiers’ perspectives on headquarters (HQs) site selection preferences with reference to the public listed firms in South Africa’s eight metropolitan municipalities. Design/methodology/approach A literature review was conducted to understand site selection preferences in other countries to inform the current study. Empirical data were collected using a sequential mixed-method approach using interviews and a survey. Semi-structured interviews were conducted first with the executives/management and also personnel who are involved in site selection decisions. Purposive sampling technique was used to select one company per industry to be interviewed. The information gathered from interviews informed the survey that was distributed online using Qualtrics software to all public listed firms located within the eight metropolitan municipalities in South Africa. Thematic analysis was used for analysing the interviews, whereas self-explicated conjoint model was used for the survey. Findings The results reveal that HQs as occupants of space prefer facilities that have good security and security systems, backup generators, air conditioning, parking facilities, energy management, access to the internet, efficient water supply, quality meeting places, cleaning services, the condition of the premises and disabled-friendly facilities. In addition to these preferences, HQs also prefer sites that are accessible. From this study, aspects that are unique to South Africa’s case are around security and security systems. The higher the crime levels, the higher is the demand on HQs to provide security and security systems for not only for their premises but also their employees. The current water and energy outages are also affecting HQs resulting in companies preferring facilities with an efficient water supply and having backup generators. Research limitations/implications The research only focussed on public listed firms located within the eight metropolitan municipalities. The findings may/may not apply to the HQs of non-listed firms and also to those situated outside the metropolitan municipalities. Owing to this, the results cannot be generalised. Further studies are needed to explore preference by industry with larger sample size. Practical implications This study provides insights on HQs site selection preference levels from the context of South Africa as a developing country. The insights would be useful to companies within the South African context to better understand their contextual dynamics and for companies seeking to do business in developing countries. Apart from companies, this study would also be beneficial to policymakers in creating enabling policies for companies, property developers to build facilities that embrace aspects preferred by occupants and investors to understand the preferences of HQs in the selection of sites for their operation. Originality/value In a developing country such as South Africa, there are limited studies on HQs site selection preferences; therefore, this study is one of the few studies bridging the knowledge gap. This study adopts a marketing approach to understand corporate real estate phenomenon.

“…When foreign investment is not restricted, there are various factors that explain why firms engage in FDI such as reducing wage costs, entering foreign markets, establishing cooperation agreements between firms, R&D investments and public ownership of firms (see for example Mucchielli & Saucier, ; Petit & Sanna‐Randaccio, ; Norbäck, ; Blomström & Kokko, ; Fumagalli, ; Johdo, ; Bárcena‐Ruiz & Garzón, , ).…”

We analyse why the Chinese government sets restrictions on foreign direct investment (FDI). We focus our analysis on the percentage of shares in relocated firms that the government allows to be foreign-owned. The government's decision on this percentage depends on the entry cost, the number of firms that relocate and the weight of the consumer surplus in the objective function of the government. We show that by its choice of this percentage, the Chinese government may restrict or encourage FDI to its country. We also find that if the government may subsidise the fixed entry cost, it provides a subsidy only when the producer surplus has a greater weight than the consumer surplus in weighted welfare. In that case, the subsidy encourages relocation by both firms and permits the government to allow a lower percentage of shares to be foreign-owned in relocated firms.
