Abstract: Over the past two decades, economic geography has generated important insights into how multi-unit firms distribute functions across space and with what consequences for territorial development. This commentary synthesizes the field’s key contributions to date, highlighting core findings from past research and pointing to promising directions for future enquiry. Particular emphasis is placed on the interplay between intra-firm micropolitics and inter-firm networks in shaping the uneven geographies of value capture that remain central to economic geography.
