What's a "location"? I have friends who work in: Intel, Haifa, Israel; Google, New York, NY; IBM, Gaithersburg, MD; etc.

This "location" is, apparently, the location of the headquarters. Who works at the headquarters? Top management? Or is it about where the company started? A startup is normally a small company, and a small company is unlikely to spread wide (although these days it is far from unusual to find a company with management and the sales department in the US and development in the Ukraine). But when one deliberately selects a large company, I would expect them to explain how they define the location and for what purpose. I did not get it from the article.

(Aside: "one selects... them explain": modern English?)




as location becomes ever less important for running a business governments will hopefully be forced into competing more strongly for business with sensible tax structures.


Can we have a distributed government outsourced to India to reduce costs?


Sure. It's called exile.
