• Economic Globalisation and the Structure of the World City System: The Case of Airline Passenger Data (2010, background): “For example, while textile manufacturing was the cutting-edge industry during the industrial revolution, over time it became ‘peripheralised’ and replaced by new leading sectors (for example, O’Hearn, 1994; Schrank, 2004).”
• The Place of Disarticulations: Global Commodity Production in La Laguna, Mexico (2011, background): “…understood as the capacity of local firms to `upgrade' production: intra-sectorally (eg by occupying more profitable links in the chain) or intersectorally (eg by switching from labor-intensive to capital-intensive or technology-intensive chains) (Bair and Gereffi, 2001; 2003; Schrank, 2004).”
• Global Capitalism and Commodity Chains: Looking Back, Going Forward (2005, background): “…but a number of studies suggest that firms which ‘succeed’ in intra-chain or process upgrading do not necessarily reap the rewards, including increased security and profitability, with which upgrading is ostensibly associated (Fitter and Kaplinsky 2001; Gibbon 2001; Schrank 2004; Schurman 2001).”
• Missing links: Logistics, governance and upgrading in a shifting global economy (2014, background): “The challenge of economic upgrading in apparel GPNs has been the focus of many academic studies to date (for example, Abernathy et al., 1999; Danskin et al., 2005; Gereffi, 1999; Gereffi and Memedovic, 2003; Schrank, 2004).”
• Global commodity chains and endogenous growth: Export dynamism and development in Mexico and Honduras (2006, background): “…(3) it increases the competitiveness of developing-country exporters vis-à-vis their rivals since full-package capabilities are less widespread (cf. Schrank, 2004); and (4) it often features close interaction between lead firms and local manufacturers, thereby allowing exporting firms to acquire…”
• Corporate Social Responsibility in Garment Sourcing Networks: Factory Management Perspectives on Ethical Trade in Sri Lanka (2015, background): “Similarly, in the Caribbean basin, Schrank (2004) noted how full package suppliers sought to undercut each other in the race for greater market share during a period of economic recession, which resulted in downgraded conditions for workers.”
