I want to begin the first of my three annual progress reports on industrial geography by claiming that industrial geography, at least as I know it, has done very well within the geographical and, perhaps even, the wider social-scientific discourses. I am pleased the subdiscipline has lived up to the concluding remark by Taylor (1986: 412) in his progress report some 14 years ago that industrial...

This incorporation relates to the introduction of social and cultural understandings of conventional economic iss...
