corporate headquarters
Corporate headquarters is the part of a corporate structure that deals with important tasks such as strategic planning, corporate communications, taxes, law, marketing, finance, human resources, and information technology.〔Wanner, Herbert (2006): "Global and regional corporate headquarters"; in: Kählin, Christian, H. (Editor): ''Switzerland Business & Investment Handbook''; Orell Füssli and Wiley〕 Corporate headquarters takes responsibility for the overall success of the corporation, ensures Corporate Governance. It is sometimes referred to the head office, which is the location where the executives of a business work and where many of the key business decisions are made. Generally, corporate headquarters acts as a core when the business is operating. The corporate headquarters includes: the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) as a key person and their support staff such as the CEO office and other CEO related functions; the "Corporate policy making" functions: Include all corporate functions necessary to steer the firm by defining and establishing corporate policies; the Corporate Services: Activities that combine or consolidate certain enterprise-wide needed support services, provided based on specialized knowledge, best practices, and technology to serve internal (and sometimes external) customers and business partners; the Interface: Reporting line and bi-directional link between corporate headquarters and business units.〔Wanner, Herbert, LeClef Xavier, Shimizu, Hiroshi (2004): ''Global Headquarters on the Move: From Administrators to Facilitators''. Prims Second Semester 2004; Arthur D.

==Locations of corporate headquarters==
Corporate headquarters is considered a business' most prestigious location. A corporation's headquarters may also bring prestige to the city it is located in and help attract other businesses to the area.Businesses frequently locate their corporate headquarters in large cities, such as New York, because of the greater business opportunities available there.〔Marcousʹe, I. (2003)''. Business Studies''. London: Hodder & Stoughton.〕 The corporate headquarters may or may not be in the location in which the business is incorporated or where the majority of its employees work. Offices of a business that are not the corporate headquarters are called "branch offices"(Carter, 1994). The headquarters is often selected by the founders of the company to be conveniently located to where they live. Branch offices may then be opened, either locally, within the country or internationally. Companies, however, generally do not have two corporate headquarters, even if they are international companies, although they may have branches that take on some of the responsibility for making corporate decisions in other countries. For example, if a company is headquartered in New York but has an office in London, the company may assign a specific location in London to act as the London headquarters and to perform the tax function and legal compliance function within the United Kingdom.〔Investopedia, (2009).
