Upgrading in the automotive industry: firm-level evidence from Central Europe (2011, background): “Follow sourcing contributed to the restructuring of the global automotive industry and the emergence of global suppliers, which, in addition to the geographical expansion and internationalization of their operations, significantly increased their competencies (Humphrey, 2000; Sturgeon and Florida, 2”
Local and Regional Development in Global Value Chains, Production Networks and Innovation Networks: A Comparative Review and the Challenges for Future Research (2013, background): “For this reason, recent GVC analyses emphasize the importance of disaggregating the value chain into different phases and components that involve part of the overall value of the final product taken to the market (Sturgeon et al., 2008).”
Global value chains in the automotive industry: an enhanced role for developing countries? (2011, background): “This explains why Japanese, German, and Korean automakers in North America have not concentrated their production in Mexico, despite lower operating costs and a free trade agreement with the USA (Sturgeon et al., 2008)3.”
