Abstract: This article is a survey that provides an analysis framework of multinational corporations (MNCs) strategy implementation by spatial inter and/or intra organizational networks. Based on an information processing perspective of organizations (Egelhoff, 1982, 1991), read through a spatial lens, we define spatial networks as spaces by which information flows between organizational units controlled or not by the same company. By definition, MNCs strategies are closely linked to the concept of distance (Ghemawat, 2001, 2011), we show then how each of them (aggregation, adaptation and arbitrage) can be implemented by space and especially by spatial internal or external networks.
