Abstract

By combining the emerging discourses on place leadership, corporate spatial responsibility, management geography and mission-oriented (innovation) policies, the study develops a – what we call – framework on (corporate) transformational, responsible and mission-oriented place-leadership.

Empirically, the study builds on three case studies from Germany, Poland and Japan and the presentation focuses on the Montbell Group case.
