The multifunctional and multi-localized corporations maximize advantages executing spatial diffusion and functional diversification. Largely, the new initiatives contribute to reduce the competitive pressures and minimize the deleterious effects of the excessive capital centralization. The expansionist impulse, however, can’t dispense with tightly tied political-institutional judgments. Soon, the organizations which have a clear influence over production processes of the geographic space. This thesis analyses the spatialities of the Algar Group, considering its cutouts of horizontalities and uprightness, as well as its network organization. Therefore, this research embraces the area of spatial, organizational and sociopolitical strategies, considering the advent of technical networks and the market’s effervescence in Triângulo Mineiro, the conjugation of actions of a developmentalist/authoritative state and the corporation’s adherent to the project, and the moment which the related networks sought to outline a virtual retreat from the state’s assertive over the territory. Thus, the thesis revels that the corporation’s actions keed a close relation to the aspects of Triângulo Mineiro’s socio spatial formation and with land use planning policies applied by the Brazilian State for the integration of the national economy, outlining a peculiar spatiality which cause this relational beam. The methodological procedures were based on bibliographic and documental researches, and the treatment of secondary data. These data were obtained from official government agencies, as Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE), Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (ANATEL), Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES); from sectoral agencies and from the corporation’s own website. Thus, the primary information gathering occurred through interviews and field trips accomplished along active assets of the Group, such administrative headquarters and farms. The interpretation and mapping of the data evidenced the way which the subspaces were controlled by exogenous and hierarchical solicitations, but significant and capitalized ones by the actors of the place. This path revealed that the events which inhabit the geography of the highlighted object sparked fundamental spatialities to the evolution of the Corporation, in a way that the horizontal consolidation movements and the vertical expansion of the Algar Group made it possible to emerge a true territorial network complex, here, interpreted from the point of view of techniques, tactics, and from political institutional arrangements. Such procedure was fundamental to clear the influence capacities, of bargain and primary relations of power. Therefore, the analysis points out that the spatialities of the Algar Group are a mixture of the intrinsic distortions to the current territorial division of labor in the country.
