Summary:

"By investigating an exemplar headquarters economy-Minneapolis-St. Paul-this volume demonstrates that the talent pool (managers), its movement among companies and industries in a region (mobility), and the of its inflow and outflow from a region (migration), can create a virtuous cycle that strengthens regional companies, and draws in additional talent. Comparing the migration pattern of educated, high-earning individuals across metropolitan areas in the United States, and drawing upon a proprietary survey of thousands of headquarters employees in Minneapolis-St. Paul, this book provides supportive evidence for this dynamic and highlights how these underlying factors are crucial to understanding the economies of metropolitan areas around the world."--from book jacket.
