Wirtschaft/Finanzwesen
Management/Verwaltung
Das Management hat sich entschieden eine Standortkonzentration vorzunehmen, die Aktivitäten von München nach Basel zu verlegen und diese in die Aktivitäten in Basel zu integrieren.
How should I express "Standortkonzentration" -- concentration doesn't seem fitting, or is it just me?
Thanks!

site consolidation
Looks like the sentence is about the concentration in places rather the the nature of the concentration.
It means the management are moving resoucres from one place (Standort) to another in a way that consolitates (concentrates).

merging/merger (but see paraphrase)
The reason why I was asking is that (IMHO) you might also use "merger/merging" if only two sites are affected while a "consolidation" can involve a larger number of sites.
I'd rephrase along the lines of "The management has/have decided to merge the (business) activities, relocating them from Munich to Basel and integrating them in(to) the Basel structure/organisation".
