Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to create a model of FM and location variables in the dimensions of location and recessions.Design/methodology/approachThe approach is based on statistical analysis and quantitative methodology.FindingsSignificant differences and correlations argue for four settings with different features, first, in the dimension of single or multiple site locations, and second, the dimension in low and high growth of GDP, here termed “recession” and “boom”, respectively.Research limitations/implicationsThis paper is a relevant study for growth firms in multiple facilities management perspectives.Practical implicationsA better knowledge and decision basis related to relocation and behaviour of FM during fluctuations of GDP is expected.Originality/valueThe paper presents a survey of FM‐related data that covers an entire nation and all major business sectors, collected concerning two successive periods, and analysed.
