Urbanisierung stellt das regionale Standortmanagement vor neue Herausforderungen. Um Synergien zwischen Unternehmen und Kommunen auszuschöpfen, müssen sich beide als Entwicklungspartner in der Standortplanung und -entwicklung verstehen. Hierfür wird im DFG-Forschungsprojekt "MetroPlant" ein Planungsansatz entwickelt. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, die Ergebnisse einer empirischen Studie und ein konzeptionelles Vorgehen zur Integration dieser in den Planungsansatz darzustellen.
 
Urbanization poses new challenges for regional site management. To exploit synergies between companies and municipalities they should consider themselves as development partners in site planning and development. For that purpose, an adequate planning approach has been developed within the DFG research project "MetroPlant". The aim of this paper is to present the results of an empirical study, pointing out how to integrate the latter into the planning approach.

Vor dem Hintergrund zunehmender Urbanisierung und "Landflucht" bietet der Aufbau von Wertschöpfungsnetzwerken in Metropolregionen vielversprechende Potentiale. In einer interdisziplinären Gesprächsrunde wurden Möglichkeiten und Hemmnisse bei der Standortwahl und -sicherung von produzierenden Unternehmen diskutiert. Im Rahmen einer Forschungskooperation wurden relevante Netzwerk- und Standorttypen ermittelt sowie wesentliche Standortfaktoren für Unternehmensnetzwerke in Metropolregionen identifiziert.
 
Against the background of increasing urbanization and rural exodus, value networks in metropolitan areas offer promising potential. In an interdisciplinary discussion, opportunities and barriers for the siting and safeguarding of manufacturing companies were discussed. As part of a collaborative research project, relevant network and site types were determined and important location factors for production networks in metropolitan areas were identified.

Due to increasing demand for electric vehicles and short innovation circles of battery, production, and recycling technology, different uncertainties need to be faced at different stages of the supply chain. However, a qualitative analysis of the uncertainties and their sources is missing. Therefore, in this paper the authors propose an empirical approach to the identification of uncertainty occurring in the closed-loop supply chain of lithium-ion batteries from electric vehicles (uncertainty in supply, process, demand, control, and environmental uncertainty). The investigation methodology consists of a content analysis of press media documents related to electric vehicles and the automotive industry. The final content analysis comprises 102 evidences of uncertainty. Consequently, the evidences of uncertainty found are classified in a spectrum between statistical uncertainty and total ignorance (levels of uncertainty). Graphs and data are described to provide detailed information. The results signal predominant environmental uncertainty besides the uncertainty within control and supply of the closed-loop. A conclusion on the investigation shows cobalt as a raw material responsible for increasing uncertainty (boomerang effect). Additionally, the content analysis evidences uncertainty with the availability, quantity, stock control policies, government regulations, and political instability with cobalt, lithium, and nickel. ; publishersversion ; published
