Changes in both technology and global political economy have vastly
accelerated the pace of globalization in the last 40 years, eroding
barriers that limited firms' geographic scope, and unleashing a
seemingly unlimited set of new threats, challenges, and
opportunities to create value globally. Globalization presents
managers with an environment to create value that is more complex,
risky, and also more promising than ever before. Despite recent
advances in our understanding of how locations impact the creation
and appropriation of value by firms, the speed of these changes has
often surpassed the speed of research on the connections between
geography and firms. This volume draws together researchers working
at the forefront of this area in a variety of
disciplines-economics, geography, marketing, organizational
behavior, psychology, sociology, and strategy-in order to explore
the many ways that locations matter for firms. In 11 varied papers,
the authors draw on newly available data, recently developed
theory, and diverse methodology to understand the relationships
between firm boundaries, firm activities, and geographic borders.

'First letters' can be understood in various ways: as the first
letters written by a person, such as the letters of children, or of
drafts which were preserved, amended and copied; as the first
letter of a particular type, such as an experienced letter-writer's
first love letter; and as the first letter to a new correspondent,
among many others. The idea of a first letter also suggests a link
with the letters that follow: what is the connection between the
first letter and those which come after it? Written by academics
specializing in letter-writing internationally, this volume
examines the letters of various authors, philosophers, and artists,
including Benjamin Constant, Jose-Maria de Heredia, Voltaire,
Diderot, Coleridge, De Quincey, and others. It is structured in
four sections: letters from youth; first letters in fictional
works; the writer's persona; and first letters within
correspondence.
