Abstract
This paper explores the role of geographical space as a dynamizing element in the economic development process. It builds on the insight that space makes a significant difference to business activity by virtue of the capacity to transform products into commodities through the purchasing power of geographically dispersed commodity consumers. Following a discussion of the implications of the growth of international and global market opportunities in a context of deregulatory lowering of market barriers, the preliminary results of research into the business dispositions of computing and communications (C & C) firms is presented. This shows that, for the most part, the desire to penetrate ever-wider geographical markets is having transformative effects upon the internal and external organizational structures of such firms.
