• W2331330763 abstract "In a recent paper it was suggested, with reference to broiler production in the East Midlands, that an evolving industry will show a significant tendency to move towards economically rational spatial patterns. However, confusion and contradictions in the evidence presented, attributable in part to the lack of internal consistency in the explanatory framework adopted, cast doubts on the validity of this conclusion. An alternative explanatory framework for the same data is advanced, and the suggestion made that the original analysis leans towards this interpretation rather than towards the original conclusion. I READ White and Watts's (i977) recent paper on the evolution of the broiler growing industry in the East Midlands first with interest and then with increasing dissatisfaction. Certain observations must be made and answers to a number of critically important questions sought. The hypothesis proposed, derived from assertions made in one section of the literature on industrial location (Hoover, 1948; Tiebout, 1957; Pred, 1969; Smith, 197i), is that 'an evolving industry shows a significant tendency to move towards economically rational spatial patterns' (p. 176). Two subsidiary hypotheses are established to test this assertion. In this note I examine the implication and inadequacies of these hypotheses, discuss some of the underlying mis- comprehensions and thereby evaluate the conclusions reached. The first hypothesis is the not unreasonable one that the evolution of an industry is marked by a change in the type of characteristic decis'on-maker, with corporate increasingly replacing individual decision-making in importance (see Hamilton, 1974, 1976). Three classes of decision- maker in the broiler-growing industry are identified (pp. 178-9): integrated organizations, cor- porate organizations and individuals. Plants belonging to the first category were excluded on the grounds that 'their scale of operations differ markedly from the other two types, and their deci- sions are concerned not simply with the broiler-growing plants but also with the activities which provide the plants' inputs and receive the plants' outputs' (p. 178). This exclusion can be criticized on a number of grounds. First, discussion in the paper concentrates on plant numbers rather than plant size. Within these terms of reference the omission of the two plants controlled by the integrated organization (out of a total of 116) can be justified, and will make no significant difference to an analysis of plant numbers alone. However, though numerically the smallest group in the industry, these two plants account for 35 per cent of total output (Table I), and thus constitute the most important section of the industry in output terms. The economic rationality of the point pattern, essentially the major focus of interest of White and Watts, is not necessarily equivalent to the maximization of economic rationality in the production of any given volume of industry output, which would necessitate consideration of the spatial distribution of the productive capacity of the industry." @default.
