Interdisciplinary (retail) research: The business of geography and the geography of business

No / At the 2005 British Academy of Management conference several well-known economic
geographers, including Neil Wrigley, Gordon Clark, and Susan Christopherson, called
for management researchers to engage with economic geographers on interrelated
geographical and managerial issues in the study of (retail) firms. In this commentary
we reflect upon the present geography -management interface.We begin by considering
the term `interdisciplinary research' and its relationship to any management - geography interface. This is followed by a context-specific discussion of international retailing and the role of research on the retail transnational corporation (TNC) in developing an interdisciplinary agenda. This commentary represents an initial more business and management focused response to the call from geography academics for more/better interdisciplinary research at the geography - management interface.
