Abstract: This article presents the concept of 'emerging place decisions'. It assumes that managers and owners of companies do not decide on locating their firms in a linear-sequential way. In fact, the decision process is characterised by a complex interplay of rational and emotional factors. Practical examples reveal that the process does not have a circular structure, meaning a logical-deductive sequence of different stages. Quite the contrary: the decision process is often interrupted and there are considerable time-lags between the individual phases. Necessary steps are skipped or analysed at a later date. Against this background we allude to 'emerging place decisions' - in short, to location decision processes which adapt to changing contextual and situational conditions. Therefore, the article aims at providing the conceptual framework to explain 'emerging place decisions'.
