      abstract = {This book offers fresh insights into how companies can  engage with, and make use of, the modern metropolis. Based  on actor-network theory and the resource-based view of the  firm, it demonstrates how the contemporary city can be seen  ℓ́ℓ and used ℓ́ℓ as a resource for corporate  innovation. The main argument is that companies have to  build what the author calls ℓ́ℓurban innovation  networks.ℓ́ℓ After a theory-based outline of such  networks, the author demonstrates the extent to which  different institutional players ℓ́ℓ companies such as  Audi, Ikea and Siemens, but also arts institutions like the  Haus der Kunst in Munich ℓ́ℓ are already working to  create them. The book combines management thinking with  urban theory and the sociology of networks to create a  unique blend of different views of capitalism and space,  offering a new perspective on both the modern metropolis  and globally operating companies active within our  distinctly urban culture.},
