Abstract
One of the key geographical organizing concepts is that of scale. In the last few years, there has been an interesting debate about the nature of scale and its relational character, constructed through and reinforcing social relations of power. In this paper, I suggest that the rapid growth of a literature about gender and organizations, largely ignored by geographers, might profitably be brought into juxtaposition with geographical analyses of economic restructuring to suggest both new ways of thinking about the scale and about the organization. As organizations become increasingly transnational in their operation, interesting new questions about connections, networks and hierarchies and the governance of different aspects of the organization and the economy arise at different spatial scales.
