- EU member states compete among each other and with the rest of the world for foreign direct investments. Reconfiguration of MNCs’ activities is therefore important for the development of a European policy framework creating an attractive environment for these FDI. Employment in foreign controlled enterprises in European Member States is affected by the way MNCs allocate restructuring, which can be affected by national governments only to a limited extent. From this perspective it is clear that the way restructuring is managed in MNCs has important implications for European policy making. MNC restructuring is driven by concerns for employment protection; MNC strategic developments, the availability of specific restructuring measures, the development in the local market, and the nature of competition in the specific industry. In the knowledge driven economy, dominated by advanced manufacturing and various forms of services that combined creates value at specific locations, reconfiguration of MNC activities is also vital for future competitiveness. Competition for talent in relation to the development of products and services help to transform the economic geography of the EU Single Internal Market. Firms are expanding and changing their industrial foot- print in order to best sustain and develop their competitive advantage. This combines industrial policy with the development of public policy towards facilitating this industrial reconfiguration in a positive way for regions and municipalities. The objectives of the paper are based on this discussion; 1) to study the reasons for MNC spatial reconfiguration, and impact of MNC spatial reconfiguration for industrial policy and employment regimes, and 2) establish a conceptual contribution to the understanding of the connection between advanced manufacturing and business services that help to drive this reconfiguration.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Following economic restructuring, waterfront redevelopment emerges as a post-industrial option for struggling cities and regions that will boost economic growth. If functioning according to plan, publicly initiated and privately executed waterfront redevelopment will attract educated and high-income earning residents as it simultaneously transforms derelict industrial grounds into residential areas and science parks. The recent financial crisis of 2008 has seen severe turbulence in the urban economy resulting in for example foreclosures and drops in real-estate value. Drawn on this background, the aim of this paper is to shed light on whether a specific place-based activity: the establishment of a redeveloped waterfront in Gothenburg, Sweden facilitating residences and workplaces, has attracted human capital in the form of residents and workers often termed ‘talented’ and ‘creative’. This paper uses a unique longitudinal micro database (GILDA) containing information on residence, work, age etc. covering the entire Swedish population between the years 1990 and 2008 and focuses on flows of in- and out-migration of two human capital sub-groups; the arts-educated bohemians and the engineering-educated consultants. Results show that the waterfront attracts resident consultants and not bohemians, while the growth of workplaces stagnate and decline following the global economic recession of 2008. The paper contributes to knowledge on the complexity of redevelopment and how difficult it is to manage this process.
