Abstract

Given their central role in economic decisionmaking at the firm-level, one might be inclined to assume that the role of Managers and of Management, would occupy a central place in the field of Economic Geography. In existing literature from the field, however, the ‘Manager’ remains a ‘lonesome or, more precisely, a fragmented maverick’.
