In 2014 Washington, D.C.'s Metrorail system opened Phase 1 of its new Silver Line, which extends the current system to include significant portions of Fairfax County in Northern Virginia. This extension runs through Tysons Corner - a major regional business district that is notorious as a sprawling and auto-oriented "edge city" - on elevated tracks that are an average of 36 feet off the ground. Fairfax County hopes the Silver Line will help transform Tysons Corner into a true urban downtown that is walkable and transit-oriented. This goal, however, is shadowed by a heated debate that occurred between 2005 and 2008 over the "Tysons Tunnel," which was a proposal to build the Silver Line underground through Tysons Corner instead of the elevated design that was originally planned and ultimately built. The tunnel was widely popular and proponents believed it would more effectively transform Tysons Corner into a walkable, transit-oriented district, while the elevated design would only harm these goals by dividing the area with bulky infrastructure. Opponents did not disagree, but argued the tunnel's added costs would disqualify the entire Silver Line project from federal funding. The ensuing debate pitted all levels of government, local businesses, and community members against one another, until the elevated design gained final approval in 2008 due to a series of disputed political constraints. Still, the debate leaves serious questions about the Silver Line's ability to transform Tysons Corner with its elevated design. This thesis seeks to determine whether the decision against the Tysons Tunnel was optimal given the political and economic constraints faced at the time, or whether the decision was suboptimal and based on unfounded constraints. To this end, it explores in depth the history of the Tysons Tunnel debate, the perspectives of all major actors in the debate, and the elevated Silver Line's current impact on Tysons Corner. This investigation presents strong evidence that the prevailing reasons against the tunnel were based on unfounded constraints, particularly: flawed federal funding criteria, the political interests of high-level politicians in Virginia, and an uncompetitive contracting process. Further, the current impacts of the Silver Line in Tysons Corner are found to undermine the area's goals for transit-oriented development. The Tysons Tunnel decision, therefore, was suboptimal and has led to the problematic results that manifest today in Tysons Corner. To improve future decision-making processes in major transit investments, this thesis provides several recommendations for how the Federal Transit Administration can reframe its evaluation criteria and general outlook to become more supportive of local government interests and promote local transit investment in order to make the most out of limited federal funding for transit.

Full textThe empirical findings of the extant research show that a thorough consultative and international experience-based strategic decision process should be considered to attain effective foreign country selection decisions. The consultative decision process encompasses five crucial managerial phases; that is, (1) strategic analysis of internationalisation drivers, (2) strategic searching and development of location factors and alternatives, (3) acquiring of adequate and relevant information about the prospective locations and, hence, strategic assessment for these alternatives, (4) strategic selection of final beneficial foreign location choice, and finally, (5) effective implementation of the selected location choice. Results reveal that the decision process cannot separately lead to the selection of a beneficial foreign location choice in the absence of four critical success factors, i.e., (1) international business experience of the selected location team, (2) the country knowledge about the potential foreign locations, (3) in-house and external consultations with international business experts and (4) identification of a trustworthy and internationally experienced manager or local partner for the international operation. The findings also illustrate that the comprehensive foreign country selection decision process is a multi-stage decision process which incorporates three separate location selection processes, namely, (1) country selection, (2) city selection and (3) site selection process. The current research extends the satisficing or bounded rational decision theory by confirming the appropriateness and the effectiveness of the theory in foreign country selection decisions.
In addition, the earlier critical success factors are adding new and important aspects of knowledge to the existing research on location decision-making process in international business, as well as foreign direct investment decisions. Accordingly, the former management phases and critical success factors were integrated into a conceptual model. The major and the unique contribution of the current thesis to existing theory is the development of a decision model which combines two fields of management research; that is, strategic decision-making and location decision-making in international business. The research provides important methodological contributions to international business research in relation to an effective multiple case study approach to capture elements of the comprehensive and complex international location decision-making process. Finally, the research findings and decision model have practical managerial implications for both international and internationalising firms by assisting them to improve the effectiveness of their foreign country selection decision processes. Further, the findings provide benefits for foreign investment policy-makers as well as local development officials in both home and host countries by assisting them to increase their outward FDI and attract more inward FDI and, consequently, boost the economic development movement in their countries.
