site selection:
... location
work; site
location work; a process during which an individual or team
searches for a location for
expanding or relocating operations.
It is a process that entrepreneurs and
business decision makers leading fast-growing
companies go through. The umbrella term for those
who have the final say and ultimately control site selection
projects is enterprise
developer. What they
must do first for their part in the process is approve the selection
criteria to be used. Following that site selection is
a process of gathering location data.
Site selection is work done by site selectors as
they go about gathering information from location
data suppliers and
evaluating places
of interest. Site selectors work at what they call comparative
analysis. As mentioned in the paragraph above, a site selector refers
to a set
of criteria that go along with an enterprise
development plan
which in turn is part of an overall business
plan. The site
selector determines what various locations have
to offer, typically negotiating for incentives and
real estate deals while comparing locations.
Ask the question of what is site selection elsewhere online and
see that it is a business
process. For example, Answers.com states
that says the process is about ... choosing
the optimal location for a business based on accessibility
to
and availability
of
customers
as well as considerations as to space costs, size, and other physical
characteristics, zoning regulations, investment tax credits, and the
quality of the available workforce (more).
Site selection is sometimes explained in terms of its relationship
to economic
development.
