  • Abstract:
    Purpose – This paper aims to analyze methodological limitations of methods used for the evaluation of sites as part of location strategies for corporations. Design/methodology/approach – Based on the available methods for site selection, which are pointed out, various challenges for quality- and quantity-related criteria are derived and explained, whereby all common approaches have some methodological deficiencies. Findings – Those defects have an impact on the result of site selection projects. Therefore, knowledge of these limitations in using certain methods is of essence for the right interpretation of the results. The respective methodological deficiencies are explained and conclusions are drawn. Research limitations/implications – Research in the area of site selection has been limited mostly to rather comprehensive approaches or national views. A holistic approach toward especially property-related matters is not available in current textbooks. Originality/value – As common practice proves, the outlined deficiencies are mostly unknown or not considered. It is the aim of this paper to seek understanding of the respective methodological limitations and, as a result thereof, achieve substantially improved results of future site selection projects or location strategies.
