Upgrading in the automotive industry: firm-level evidence from Central Europe (2011, background): “2 Lead firms are powerful firms which set parameters followed by other firms in the production network, initiate the flow of new products through the production network, and organize and coordinate production networks in their respective industries (Sturgeon, 2001; Humphrey and Schmitz, 2004b).”
Governing global value chains: an introduction (2008, background): “Among the different challenges to the producer-driven versus buyer-driven framework that emerged, the work of Sturgeon (2001, 2002) on the electronics industry was of particular importance for understanding how the conceptualization of governance shifted from driving to coordination.”
Agricultural Value Chains in Developing Countries A Framework for Analysis (2011, unknown): “Therefore, the focus is on governance and upgrading opportunities in developing country value chains (Gereffi 1999, Gereffi et al. 2005; Kaplinsky 2000; Kaplinsky and Morris 2002; Sturgeon 2001; Gibbon 2001; and, Gibbon and Bair 2008).”
‘Globalizing’ regional development: a global production networks perspective (2004, background): “Conversely, a number of GCC and GVC studies explicitly explore how regional clusters and industrial districts are incorporated into global production systems, and consider their implications for local economic development and industrial upgrading (e.g. Bair and Gereffi 2001; Gereffi et al. 2001; Hum”
The 'Latte Revolution'? Regulation, Markets and Consumption in the Global Coffee Chain (2002, background): “More recently, Sturgeon (1999, 2001) questioned this interpretation.”
Vietnam in the global garment and textile value chain: impacts on firms and workers (2004, background): “the chain (Gereffi 1999, Gereffi and Kaplinsky 2001, Sturgeon 2001 ).”
Global Capitalism and Commodity Chains: Looking Back, Going Forward (2005, background): “As one value chain scholar has noted, recognizing these similarities requires one to look closely at the micro level in order to identify ‘the specific bundles of activities that firms are engaged in’ (Sturgeon 2001: 15).”
Making Sense of Global Standards (2004, background): “Value chains have emerged as a powerful tool in understanding how the distinct functions that turn raw materials into traded end-products are inter-linked through complex arrangements between globally diverse actors (Gereffi 1994, 1999; Sturgeon 2000; Humphrey and Schmitz 2001; Kaplinsky 2000).”
Value chains, networks and clusters: reframing the global automotive industry (2008, background): “Value chains provide a snapshot of economic activity that cut through these larger structures, while at the same time clearly identifying smaller scale entities and actors, such as workers, clusters, firms, and narrowly defined industries (Sturgeon, 2001).”
Governance, Entry Barriers, Upgrading: A Re-Interpretation of Some GVC Concepts from the Experience of African Clothing Exports (2008, background): “Those working within a global value chain (GVC) framework generally agree that it is methodologically appropriate to give the name ‘GVC’ to relatively restricted sections of more extensive and geographically dispersed input–output structures (e.g. Sturgeon 2001).”
Transportation and the Geographical and Functional Integration of Global Production Networks (2006, background): “In this context, Global Production Networks (GPNs) are accounting for an emerging and active branch of investigation of the various paradigms of globalization (Dicken, 2003; Henderson et al, 2002; Sturgeon, 2001).”
