Global production networks: realizing the potential (2008, background): “…in the GPN/GVC literature focuses upon interfirm relationships to the almost total neglect of intra-firm relationships and of the ways in which the internal structures and relationships inside firms play a critical role in how GPNs operate and have their impact (Dicken and Malmberg, 2001).”
Innovation in food firms: contribution of regional networks within the international business context (2007, background): “Dicken and Malmberg ( 2001 ) use the concept of ‘multilocational firms’, who have the potential to manipulate geographic space and to use resources of specific territories as a part of their competitive strategy.”

‘Spatial’ relationships? Towards a reconceptualization of embedded ness (2004, methodology): “Here, a relational concept of place and space is applied (cf.
