This concentration of power resulted in some leading cities being globally interconnected hubs with a dominating role within the world economy. Global cities are centers for multinational corporations' headquarters and places in which they exert their “control and command” functions. The role of global cities for SMEs with internationally or globally dispersed activities has not yet been extensively studied. This thesis aims to explore the role of global cities for such internationalizing SMEs, in particular with regard to Singapore and Southeast Asia.
