Abstract

This chapter discusses the paradox of the world-flattening effects of globalization and the perpetual influences of geography. It is postulated in this chapter that flight-time can act as a proxy for geographical distance, and that flight-time is a causal factor for other facets of distance, namely cultural distance, administrative distance, geographical distance, gravitational distance, topological distance, economical distance, technological distance, socio-demographical distance, relational or affinity distance, and organizational distance. Organizational distance is further explained by changes, spillages, psychic distance, networks, communications, net cost-benefits, control and friction.
