“…Looking for relationships and relational mechanisms between the two approaches appears to be an interesting exercise as both concepts offer an alternative to economic analysis focused on the national economy. The impact of the firm location and urban systems is performed from both directions [36]: not only are urban systems shaped by the spatial choices of MNCs, but urban systems also influence the spatial distribution of corporations by their size, functions, and position in hierarchy [44,45]. The notions such as 'global cities' as well as 'global value networks' emerged because of the critique of research and modelling methodologies applied in social sciences that were primarily focused on countries with the intention to provide an alternative to this approach.…”

The paper aims to present the role of cities and their surroundings (metropolis) in the creation and flow of value, in order to shift the focus of analysis towards the geography of value chains. The analysis combines notions of a network of cities with value-added chains, usually examined separately, to identify the synergies between them and progress in the methodology of the combination. The aim of the paper is to identify the role of the metropolis in connecting the national and regional economy with the world economy within value chains. We present the metropolis not only as a node in global value chains, but also as an intermediary between global, national, and regional economies. We show that the Warsaw metropolis is strongly linked with itself and the rest of the national economy. In the case of the Mazovia region, the strongest links are with the national economy followed by backward links with the metropolis.

“…The literature has pinpointed several acquisition costs in terms of SEW losses to the family. These costs include weakening of family control (Zellweger et al, 2012), disruption of established social networks (Bergh & Gibbons, 2011;Friedland et al, 1990), and image and reputational losses (Deephouse & Jaskiewicz, 2013). On the other hand, firms pursue international acquisitions to create synergy and financial gains that are not available in the domestic market (Eun et al, 1996).…”

Research Question/Issue: We study the relationship between family blockholding of voting rights and the relative size of international acquisitions, and the moderating effect of two types of financial blockholders (pressure-resistant and pressuresensitive blockholders).Research Findings/Insights: Employing an international sample of 8,687 non-financial cross-border acquisitions conducted by 4,630 acquirer firms from 40 home markets to 66 host countries between 2004 and 2013, we find a U-shaped relationship between family blockholding of voting rights and the relative size of international acquisitions. Further, we find evidence that this relationship is moderated by the presence and type of financial blockholders. While pressure-resistant financial blockholders shift this relationship downwards (due to intensified conflicts), pressure-sensitive financial blockholders shift it upwards.

“…Meanwhile, at the global scale, Taylor and Csomos (2012) present a similar reading of 'world cities' by gauging the quantity of revenue generated in cities by multinational firms headquartered there. The multifaceted and multiscalar impact of firm location on urban systems obviously also 'works' in the opposite direction: just as urban systems are shaped by the locational behavior of firms, urban systems shape the spatial distribution of corporations as the dispersion and development of firms are affected by the size and functional specialization of cities, as well as the cities' positions within the urban system (Pred, 1977;Friedland et al, 1990;Beaverstock et al, 2002).…”

Analyzing urban networks through the lens of corporate networks: A critical review

This paper provides a critical review of three major empirical models for approximating urban networks based on corporate networks: the ownership linkage model, the interlocking network model, and the two-mode network model. We review the assumptions, implementations, strengths and shortcomings of these models through pedagogic examples. Based on this review, we suggest that (1) there exists a need to synthesize analytical results from different models; (2) calibration approaches are needed to improve the falsifiability of modeling results; and (3) the two-mode network approach seems to be the most promising approach for analyzing urban networks through corporate networks as it is capable of assessing cities and firms simultaneously, as well as modeling the underlying network formation process.
