CAIRNS J. A. and HARRIS A. H. (1988) Firm location and differential barriers to entry in the offshore oil supply industry, Reg. Studies 22, 499--506. A survey of North Sea oil supply firms is used to examine their differential access to markets. It is suggested that the nature of the market is such as to limit entry by indigenous firms, particularly in the core activities characterized by high technology and long lead-times. The necessity for proximity to customers demands the setting up of substantial supply activity by companies with headquarters at other locations. CAIRNS J. A. et HARRIS A. H. (1988) La localisation de l'entreprise et les barrières différentielles à l'entreé dans l'industrie de l'approvisionnement pétrolier 'offshore', Reg. Studies 22, 499--506. On se sert d'une enquete sur les entreprises d'approvisionnement pétrolier de la mer du Nord pour examiner leur accès différentiel aux marchés. On suggère que le caractère meme du marché contrôle l'entrée d'entreprises autochtones, notamment pour ce qui concerne les activités essentielles qui se caractérisent par la haute technologie et les longs délais: La nécessité de se localiser à proximité des clients exige l'établissement d'importants approvisionnements par des sociétés dont les sièges se trouvent ailleurs. CAIRNS J. A. und HARRIS A. H. (1988) Firmenstandorte und verschiedenartige Schranken beim Einstieg in das Geschäft der Belieferung der off-shore Industrie, Reg. Studies 22, 499--506. Eine Übersicht der Firmen, die die Ölindustrie in der Nordsee beliefern, wird benutzt, um deren unterschiedlichen Zugang zu Märkten zu untersuchen. Es wird angedeutet, dass die Natur dieses Marktes dazu führt, den Einstieg alteingesessener Firmen zu beschränken, besonders bei den wichtigsten Operationen, die durch Hochtechnologie und lange Anlaufzeiten gekennzeichnet sind. Die Notwendigkeit der Nähe zum Kunden verlangt die Organisation einer beträchtlichen Belieferungsleistung durch Firmen, deren Hauptgeschäftsstellen sich an anderen Standorten befinden.
