A unified theoretical framework is applied to a broad range of alternative approaches to industrial location modelling. This framework provides a basis for the comparison of alternative assumptions employed by various location theorists. In a follow-up paper, these observations are used to construct a more general industrial location model from which many others may be derived as ‘special cases’.
