This book attempts to advance locational explanation in industrial
geography by more fully exploring relationships between
organizations and the environments within which they operate. The
volume is in two parts, the first developing a theoretical
framework and the second testing this framework with data for firms
in the electronics industry in the UK. To produce the theoretical
framework, ideas derived from geographers' studies of linkages and
information flows are reviewed and amalgamated with ideas embodied
in organization theorists' contingency models of organisational
structure. These two sets of studies are complementary. The
geographical studies are empirically strong but conceptually weak,
and are cast in an explicitly spatial framework. The structural
contingency models, however, are empirically weak, conceptually
strong and almost entirely aspatial. The amalgamation of these two
sets of ideas yields an a priori model of organization environment
interactions, which is tested in the second half of the volume.
