We study the location and occupational composition of establishments within firms between 1981 and 2016. Using Danish administrative employer-employee matched data, we document four novel results regarding the internal spatial organization of firms. First, the average number of establishments per firm increased by 21%. Second, the average distance of establishments and workers from their headquarters about doubled. Third, firms achieved this fragmentation by concentrating managers at headquarters locations and decentralizing jobs in production and business services occupations. Fourth, the ratio of managers to production and clerical workers within firms increased by 80%, driven particularly by headquarters and establishments located in the largest cities These facts imply that firms are not simply becoming more spatially dispersed; instead, they are fragmenting into functions.

我们研究了 1981 年至 2016 年间公司内部机构的位置和职业构成。使用丹麦行政雇主-雇员匹配数据，我们记录了有关公司内部空间组织的四个新结果。首先，每家公司的平均机构数量增加了 21%。其次，企业和工人与总部的平均距离大约翻了一番。第三，公司通过将管理人员集中在总部地点并分散生产和商业服务行业的工作来实现这种分散。第四，公司内管理人员与生产人员和文职人员的比例增加了 80%，特别是受到位于大城市的总部和机构的推动。这些事实表明，公司不仅在空间上变得更加分散；反而，
