GEOGRAFIA E ESTRATÉGIA. O interface entre a gestão estratégica e a geografia é matéria muito pouco explorada que talvez mereça maior atenção. Partindo duma interessante constação - "as we move into the 21st century, the world ever seems a smaller place - transportation costs continue to fall, fiber optic networks speed information around the planet, and corporations operate on a global scale. One might reasonably ask whether location really matters anymore. Despite these trends - perhaps because of them - the last few years have witnessed a rapid rise in interest in 'place' and 'space' across the social sciences. While the importance of distance declines, strategic interest in location appears greater than ever" - J.A.C. Baum e O. Sorenson organizam uma colectânea com vários artigos sugestivos como, por exemplo:
