Competitive Location Models

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Location Science

Abstract

This chapter first provides a review of the foundations of competitive location models. It then traces subsequent developments through time under special consideration of customer behavior. After developing a general framework for customers’ decision making, the main results are cast within this framework. The conclusion outlines a number of areas, in which existing models can be refined and made more realistic.
