Abstract

This chapter traces the locational decision-making processes of highly skilled Chinese migrants in Japan. It presents results of the study, namely a conceptualization of thought processes that include the option of relocation to reach agents’ goals or solve their problems. Analysis and, especially, contextualization of agents’ locational decisions are crucial to understanding migration flows.
