This paper analyses the locational changes in head and branch offices of large enterprises in Osaka prefecture during the 1990s, when rationalization of branch networks progressed remarkably. In Osaka in the latter half of the 1990s, along with an increase in number of head offices, there has been a reduction in number of branch offices as a result of office closures, mergers and bankruptcies. Moreover, administrative-functions of the remaining branch offices have been transferred to Tokyo. It was observed that office relocation pattern switched towards decentralization in the latter half of the 1990s. However, there have been few cases that decision-making sections of enterprises being transferred towards the suburbs, and the decentralization has not resulted in the emergence of independent industrial spaces in the neighboring regions. The relocation patterns of head and branch offices clearly reflect the ways in which the enterprises were reorganized during the period from the first to the second half of the 1990s. On the one hand, head offices tended to relocate to areas that reinforce close cooperation within their own enterprises, so to speed up decision-making processes. On the other hand, branch offices tended to relocate to areas that minimize rent expenditures. While company restructuring and mergers continued due to prolonged depression, many new large-scale office buildings were completed during the same period, leading office rental market into a state of excess supply. As such, both demand and supply sides contributed in stimulating office relocations and caused changes in the business districts. Notably, the differences in factors of relocation between head offices and branch offices had an important effect in the changes in office relocation patterns in the latter half of the 1990s.
