Secondly, it analyses organizational tenets at the micro- and meso-level with a view to explaining various relational models and their implications at the level of the firm and the territory. Whereas previous studies have focused on the territory as a geographical space in which firms procure resources and promote development, this book presents an innovative approach and makes a key contribution to the literature by dealing with the firm and the territory from an organizational perspective. The relationship is analysed as bidirectional: a key question concerns how the territory can impact the organizational dimension of the firm, and how the firm can characterize the territory.
