Abstract: Utilisant le cadre théorique de l'école de la proximité, cet article analyse comment Thales Avionics articule des relations à proximité et à distance. Parfois, la réduction des coûts et l'accès aux marchés sont privilégiés pour une production de composants standards qui suppose peu d'échanges de connaissances : on assiste alors à des délocalisations, une proximité organisationnelle compensant la distance spatiale. Parfois Thales Avionics articule proximités organisationnelle et géographique pour favoriser la circulation de connaissances. Cette firme concoure ainsi à la formation de clusters. Abstract Using french approach of proximity, this article analyses how Thales Avionics articulate proximity and distance relations. Sometimes, in order to reduce cost and to access to market, production of standard components which suppose few exchanges of information is delocalised. Thus, organizational proximity balances geographical distance. Sometimes, Thales Avionics articulates organizational and geographical proximities with architects integrators and scientific partners to support the circulation of knowledge in order to innovate. In this case, this firm contributes to the construction of a cluster. 2
