• Missing links: Logistics, governance and upgrading in a shifting global economy (2014, background): “Compared to the horticulture and apparel GPNs, the mobile communications sector displays an even greater degree of organisational and technological complexity, and combines manufacturing and service provisions in unique ways (Hess and Coe, 2006; Funk, 2009; Dedrick et al., 2011).”
• Global production networks: realizing the potential (2008, background): “4 The telecommunications industry provides a good illustration of these processes (Hess and Coe, 2006).”
• Value chains, neoliberalism and development practice: The Indonesian experience (2014, background): “This shift, attributed by Hess and Coe (2006) to scholars from the Institute for Development Studies (IDS) at Sussex, has been described elsewhere by Bair (2005, 2009) as reflecting much more than a simple terminological adjustment.”
• Making a Global Gas Market: Territoriality and Production Networks in Liquefied Natural Gas (2017, background): “Network Practices GPN research has a comparatively granular approach to the organization of economic activity, focusing on the “intra-firm, inter-firm and extra-firm networks that characterize contemporary production systems” (Hess and Coe 2006, 1207).”
• Analysing global economic organization: embedded networks and global chains compared (2008, methodology): “6 My assessment of this literature is drawn from the following articles: Dicken et al. (2001), Henderson et al. (2002), Coe et al. (2004), Coe and Hess (2005), Hess and Coe (2006) and Hess and Yeung (2006).”
• Stretching Global Production Networks: The International Second-hand Clothing Trade (2013, background): “As with Hess and Coe (2006; 1207) the overall approach “focuses on the organisationally and geographically complex webs of intrafirm, interfirm, and extrafirm networks that characterise contemporary production systems.””
• Global standards, global governance and the organization of global value chains (2008, background): “Hughes (2005) has also underlined how UK retailers in the food and clothing sector have adopted quite distinct approaches in terms of the organizational framework for implementing ethical monitoring and sourcing.”
• Geographies of circulation and exchange: constructions of markets (2009, background): “Recent empirical examples include studies of the global telecommunications industry (Hess and Coe, 2006), the Fiji-Australia garment-production network (Weller, 2006) and the role of ethical campaigning in shaping organizational practices of power and authority in global production networks (Hughes…”
