ABSTRACT
Scholars of the cultural turn criticize the positivistic research agenda for neglecting the cultural influences on social and economic life. In a global perspective, regions can be aggregates of different national states or parts of them. To enable the study of frames between regional corporations and administrative authorities, an understanding of regions requiring at least some statutory power in a subnational perspective is needed. The chapter focuses on theoretical aspects in an attempt to address shortcomings in relation to space questions as connector between region and territory. Investigating the intersections of regional cultures and corporations', economic and administrative spaces and their respective paths are a matter of interest. A strong regional identity is also obvious in regional branding activities as a reciprocal cultural influence between the region and the region's companies. The spatial-geographical frames differ most between the economic sectors in the "innovation" field.
