In un'epoca sempre più competitiva e globale, le aziende cercano costantemente di ridurre i costi, raggiungere nuovi mercati e perseguire migliori condizioni imprenditoriali, diventando necessarie strategie come l'adattamento e la riformulazione aziendale. Queste circostanze possono verificarsi in tutte le categorie di aziende: nuove e vecchie imprese, piccole e grandi imprese, e in quelle che hanno subito cambiamenti come la crescita, intesa come positiva o negativa. Alcune aziende trovano nel processo di ricollocazione la migliore risposta o alternativa per continuare le operazioni, espandersi il loro business o evitare la chiusura. Questa tesi magistrale valuta la propensione alla ricollocazione basata sulla relazione con fattori di localizzazione, età, dimensioni, settore e crescita. Lo studio è stato condotto analizzando informazioni provenienti da aziende Italiane attraverso l'uso di un database che contiene una delle collezioni più estese di materiale firmografico disponibili in Italia. A tal fine, sono stati presi in considerazione nell'analisi quasi mezzo milione di aziende nel corso di tre anni, dal 2016 al 2019. Contrariamente ad altri studi, questa ricerca si distingue per l'inclusione di aziende di tutte le dimensioni, consentendo la valutazione di quasi tutte le aziende Italiane con dati sufficienti per formulare conclusioni. I risultati dell'analisi eseguita utilizzando il database illustrano l'associazione descrittiva tra la propensione alla ricollocazione e i fattori di localizzazione, dimensioni, età, settore e crescita, e fornendo una panoramica del contesto della migrazione. Questa tesi magistrale e i suoi risultati possono offrire contributi importanti per la valutazione e lo studio della ricollocazione aziendale.

Abstract
In a more competitive and global era, firms constantly seek to reduce costs, reach new markets, and pursue better entrepreneurial conditions, becoming necessary strategies such as firm adaptation and reformulation. These circumstances can occur in all classes of companies: new and old firms, small and large firms, and in those firms that have experienced changes such as growth, understood as positive or negative. Some firms find in the relocation process the best response or alternative to continue operations of their business or avoid closure. This master’s thesis evaluates the relocation propensity based on the relationship with factors of location, age, size, industry, and growth. The present study has been conducted by analyzing information from Italian firms through the use of a database that contains one of the most extensive collections of firmographic material available in Italy. For this purpose, almost half a million firms spanning three years, from 2016 to 2019, have been considered in the analysis. Contrasting other studies, this investigation stands out for the inclusion of companies of all sizes, enabling the evaluation of nearly all Italian firms with sufficient data to propose conclusions. The results of the analysis performed using the database illustrate the descriptive association between relocation propensity and factors of location, size, age, industry, and growth, and provide an overview of the migration context. This master’s thesis and its outcomes can offer valuable contributions to the assessment and study of firm relocation.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
