Deleuzian Terminology	Concise Definition¹³	Example of Application
Arborescence	Refers to structured and hierarchical thinking.	This writer uses the term to describe traditional structured patterns of thinking that inhibit innovative thought.
Assemblage	The process of creating a grouping or collection of anything¹⁴.	A network of branch manufacturing plants can be considered an assemblage.
Flow	A movement of ideas, concepts or people.	Richard Florida [44] used the term to describe the movement of knowledge workers to cities that have Bohemian lifestyles.
Line of Flight	Refers to the direction of a movement, marketing programme or one’s personal ambitions. The key question is “towards what destination” ([35] , p. 120).	For instance, if one wants to become a professional, he or she will have to channel their line of flight (career path) by entering and completing the appropriate university programme.
Multiplicity	Based on Bergson’s philosophy. Bogue ([45] , p. 9) used the term to described a nomadic multiplicity as “an unlimited and undivided space or a metamorphic flux and also as a qualitative multiplicity with an identity that is irreducibly plural”.	Colebrook ([25] , p. 59) applied Deleuze’s concept of multiplicity with the following analogy “If I have an extended collection of red objects, I can add or subtract one or more things and still have a set of red objects. This is an extensive multiplicity”.
Nomad	A nomadic thinker wanders about a topic just as a nomadic herdsman moves from one oasis to another.	Jeanes [46] used the nomadic metaphor to show how such thinking opens new connections, experiences and thus, produces innovative thought processes.
Plateau	It’s an elevated natural feature of the landscape and metaphorically it can be a goal, a new level of understanding or an objective that one strives to achieve.	The term can describe a series of concepts such as globalisation that a practitioner has to understand in order to develop an effective strategy [47] .
Reterritorialisation	Amin [48] uses the term to describe the changes in governance brought about by the reconfiguration of regions as a result of devolution.	A good analogy would be the changed boundaries after a local government amalgamation.
Deterritorialisation	Deterritorialisation is movement that produces change.	O’Neill and McGuirk [49] used the analogy of deterritorialisation to describe the changing economy and institutions in the Sydney basin.
Rhizome	A rhizome can be likened to the interconnections of the internet.	Rhizomes are used by this writer to visualise new business parks, warehouses or shopping centers popping up on the landscape like flowers in the spring.
Smooth Space	Refers to an easy flow between ideas or concepts. It is also the non-structured nomadic space between points.	A good analogy is to imagine the smooth space of the globalised economy as chaotic or a complex web of divisions and confluences.
Striated Space	Refers to structured or rough space. It can also be considered space structured to channel actants via lines in the achievement of one or more given end states.	Striating space can be visualised as attempts to inscribe some form of fixity into flux, to draw lines and situate the local by delineating aspirations, goals and actions in the form of new initiatives.
