Lend me this item!

This volume provides a geographical perspective on current developments in the information economy. It draws attention to the uneven spatial development of the information economy with respect to the geographical distribution of information, labor, and the electronic forms of information capital. The technical focus of the book is computer network innovations which now penetrate the very core of the production process in all sectors of the economy, from manufacturing to service industries. These technological innovations are analyzed in terms of their potential transformation of information space at a variety of levels from firms and sectors to cities, regions, and countries. Through its theoretical and empirical analysis this volume clearly demonstrates that when the information economy is viewed spatially, profound implications for social science research are revealed.
