Disclosure
: GDI Solutions may, in the performance of our work to develop
relationships among corporate executives, area representatives, and
professional service providers in this market, advertise or be quoted for
publication in these or other magazines on general topics.
We do not, however, disclose our discussions with
executives about their specific investment interests.
Please let us know if you discover any broken links in the table
below. |
| The
table of links below
summarizes the editorial calendars for many feature articles. It is for the convenience of executives who may wish to refer to recently
published or upcoming articles in leading magazines whose readers and advertisers share
interests in the market for direct investment projects. The events
list shows where to look for the publishers and their magazines at trade
shows.
Their main website is listed for links to other current articles,
archives, or reader services beyond the direct links provided here, which
only reflect very selective content. Refer also to the list of
location
consultants for professional help with specific location decisions
beyond the scope of what these magazines and their advertisers can offer to
readers as a free service, or contact us for relevant introductions (see
how to participate) to
area representatives or professional service providers according to your
interests. |
Although there are
global investment features in these publications, this list is focused
mainly on features about investment in North America.
Other
information sources for specific countries or areas may be found at the
bottom of the regional tables of area representative. See
Participants.
For example, websites with more information about investment in Europe or
China would be found in our list of contacts for
Europe or
China, where there are also links to specific regional maps for
convenience.
|
Some magazines which
publish articles about direct investment projects and locations use staff
writers, free-lance writers, and leading professional contacts to develop
reasonably independent and thorough, well-researched articles about
investment considerations.
Executives should note that not all magazines do this.
In any case, some articles may be of a heavily promotional
nature, highlighting positive attributes about areas, with special coverage
of areas which advertise and maintain close working relationships.
It is not necessarily objective, investigative journalism
to provide a more balanced overview or to identify problems which may prove
to be critical for the interests of a specific investor.
The articles can be useful background, but readers should be
cautious in their review of the content. |
Some magazines publish
articles which, although similar in appearance to independent reports, are
more comparable to paid "advertorials" based mainly on promotional content
provided by advertisers, whether or not such relationships are disclosed
openly to readers.
Investors are cautioned in general about reliance on
content in such magazines which may be less objective than it sometimes
appears.
The tendency of some publications and advertisers to
promote their services as equivalent to, or a substitute for, the work of
independent location consultants or other professional services is
unfortunate in this regard.
These can all be useful services, but they are not the same.
In the same context, professional location consultants are generally very
reluctant to be quoted publicly on any negative knowledge about areas. |
Magazine content is generally planned and prepared
according to the objectives, choices, and scope of knowledge and contacts of
the publisher, editor, and writer or researchers involved, which may not
always be what is necessary to address the needs of executives who are
planning specific investment projects.
The content of any published information should therefore
be read in this context as potentially useful background information for
investment planning purposes, but the content is not warranted as reliable
information on which to base specific investment decisions.
Investors responsible for major projects are cautioned to do
their own "due diligence" work thoroughly to confirm that their decisions
are based upon timely and accurate knowledge of all critical issues for
their projects. The direct investment market is dynamic, so historical
information should be used in that context. |

Note that the website design
of
Area Development
magazine does not offer the ability to link directly to specific articles,
which is why it does not appear in the table below even though it is a
leading publication in this niche. Refer instead to their home page for access to
any content. The same is true of most articles in
Site Selection
magazine, so refer to their website for details, given the editorial
calendar as summarized below.
Some other
magazines require registration by users to view articles through their
websites, so direct links are not available to be provided here for
convenience.
Relevant features
may also appear in many other publications (See List)
In particular, note that The Economist publishes
many useful country and industry reviews, as does the Financial Times. |
