Relocations of Small Businesses from Urban to Rural Areas: Atypical Spatial Trajectories and New Insights into the Co-evolution of Small Businesses and Their Founders' Networks - 2013.
49
The relocation of a small business from an urban to a rural area is an atypical spatial trajectory given the well-documented tendency to spatial inertia displayed by small businesses. Based on an extended literature review and ten case studies, we propose a typology of the relocation logics of entrepreneurs and the businesses they run. We then identify the ways in which our empirical work contributes to a better understanding of the motivations and consequences of such trajectories. Finally, we formulate some proposals for improving the design of schemes aiming to support this type of geographic move and attracting relocating small businesses to specific rural areas.
