Description :
The goal of the AA. is to show how and why firms are structured by the inherited configuration of capital and also reproduce differentiation within and outside the corporation. They use concepts drawn from modern financial theory to show that a spatially differentiated configuration of production may have advantages for the firm in terms of the risk-adjusted flow of revenue, strategic options in relation to competitors, and the management of sunk costs.
