The globalisation of the resources sector(s) in Australian cities

该项目旨在了解与资源相关的服务公司如何以及为什么聚集在布里斯班、墨尔本、珀斯和悉尼。保持澳大利亚在全球事务中的竞争地位取决于在矿业、能源和农业等既定国家领域提供创新服务。该项目将使用社会网络分析从“全球”的角度来看待澳大利亚城市的经济，以了解当地公司集群如何通过分支机构和附属公司联系进行国际网络化。该项目旨在通过定位这些部门以应对21世纪的挑战，更好地指导城市和经济政策。

This project aims to understand how and why resources-related service firms cluster in Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney. Maintaining Australia’s competitive position in global affairs depends on delivering innovative services in established national areas such as mining, energy and agriculture. This project will approach Australian cities’ economies from a ‘global’ perspective using social network analysis, to understand how local firm clusters are internationally networked through branch office and affiliate corporate linkages. This project seeks to better direct urban and economic policy by positioning these sectors to deal with the challenges of the 21st century.
