Summary/Abstract: The spatial dimension of the careers of business people has been reconstructed in this publication. These are the people who are particularly predisposed to design space in which they then achieve both their private and professional goals. Changes they create in their work environment and beyond affect not only them or their closest ones but also members of the organization they work at as well as partners, competitors and co-operators. This monograph presents various interconnected yet qualitatively differentiable stages in their perception of space and actions taken towards it: from treating space as a resource, through managing it, up to controlling it. The effectiveness of the control is linked with the career-construction model – prevalent among, and typical of, people playing key organizational roles – which is based on an intentional, pragmatic management of the career path and life plan. The book’s target audience are both theoreticians and practitioners of organization management as well as all readers interested in the interpretative paradigm and qualitative research methods, particularly the grounded theory approach.
