Innovation Capabilities and Directions of Development (2009, background): “Several studies have cut across these two strands of work to provide integrated analyses - in particular Fransman and King (1984), Dahlman et al (1987), Lall (1992), Bell and Pavitt (1993) and Rasiah (2004).”
Linkages and spillovers in global production networks: firm-level analysis of the Czech automotive industry (2016, background): “with the relentless competitive pressure in the automotive industry and the ongoing price squeeze by lead firms (Ernst and Kim, 2002).”
Making a Technological Catch‐up: Barriers and opportunities (2005, methodology): “During the very early stage along this path, these private firms were starting as OEM contractor for the MNCs and integrated with the GPN which helped them accessing new knowledge and upgrading to higher tier in the GPN (Ernst 2002 ; Ernst and Kim 2002).”
Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Industrial Development: Geography and the Creative Field Revisited (2006, background): “…multinationals have a special affinity for locations in specialized agglomerations where they can tap into and appropriate local expertise and then re-diffuse it through their intra-corporate networks (Cantwell and Iamarino 2002; Chacar and Lieberman 2003; Cohendet et al. 1999; Ernst and Kim 2002).”
Mapping fragmentation: Electronics and automobiles in East Asia and Latin America (2004, background): “One of his last publications (Ernst and Kim, 2002) analysed technology diffusion and capability development within ‘global production networks’ (GPNs) in East Asia.”
Global networks, local specialisation and regional patterns of innovation (2020, background): “Nevertheless, the ability of regions to capture, understand, absorb and re-use external knowledge is also regarded by an increasing number of scholars as a fundamental element to sustain and refine the local profile of specialisation and competitiveness (Pyke et al., 1990; Ernst and Kim, 2002; Bathe”
The role of transnational dimensions in emerging economy 'Technological Innovation Systems' for clean-tech (2015, background): “Firms often perform production processes cooperatively, in value chains in which each firm performs the production steps for which it has the highest levels of competitiveness (Ernst and Kim, 2002).”
Foreign multinationals and domestic innovation: Intra-industry effects and firm heterogeneity (2015, background): “Firms operating in different vertically connected industrial sectors are more likely to benefit from positive externalities (Ernst and Kim, 2002; Javorcik, 2004; Crespo and Fontoura, 2007; Javorcik and Spatareanu, 2008 and 2009; Blalock and Gertler, 2008).”
Local and Regional Development in Global Value Chains, Production Networks and Innovation Networks: A Comparative Review and the Challenges for Future Research (2013, background): “…account more widely the institutional and cultural features and constraints of different territorial ensembles, as well as the explicit policy approach taken by states and institutions, which seek to develop their own competitive positions (Ernst & Kim, 2002; Yeung, 2007, 2009; Coe et al., 2008).”
