Abstract

This paper explores the changing spatial concentration of the headquarters of large companies in Australia by means of indices extracted from lists of the top one hundred public companies in 1953, 1963, 1973, and 1978. Evidence of variations in company performance between Melbourne and Sydney is presented.
