Industrial groups and territories: the case of Matra-Marconi-Space in Toulouse
研究工业集团如何利用地域资源，以图卢兹的马特拉-马可尼空间公司为例，分析地域在提供人力资源、技术知识和培训设施方面的关键作用。
This article examines the relations between industrial groups and territory (defined as the overlapping of geographical and organisational positioning). It tries to isolate the key factors which determine the way in which industrial groups use territory in business activities - inparticular, the factors linked to the transformation of group productive organisation, and the socio-economic space in which they are located. Thus, the traditional allocation of resources approach is replaced by one that concentrates on the creation of resources. For some industrial groups, business locations provide not only specific human resources, but also various kinds of technological knowledge and skilled service capacity, as well as top-level training facilities. The crucial importance of territory is shown in a case-study of the Matra-Marconi-Space company based in Toulouse.
