Firm relocation can be viewed as an entrepreneurial strategy of the firm to remove real or imagined limits to growth and, as such, the migration of a firm from a region can represent the loss of a current and potentially growing employer. We consider an extended resource based theory of the firm to explain the propensity to relocate. By analyzing the interviews of the chief executive officers of companies in the agro-food sector, we show that the internal resources of the firm, its degree of globalization, and its territorial embeddedness represent important factors determining the relocation decision.
