Shaming the Corporation (2014, background): “Price pressure combined with the strict standards for quality and delivery time that these suppliers face (Gereffi et al. 2005) can lead to forced overtime, unstable employment, and militaristic management (Locke, Amengual, and Mangla 2009).”
The Internationalization of Corporate R&D and the Automotive Industry R&D of East-Central Europe (2012, background): “This article draws on the global production networks (GPN) and global value chains (GVC) perspectives (Coe, Dicken, and Hess 2008; Coe et al. 2004; Gereffi, Humphrey, and Sturgeon 2005; Henderson et al. 2002) to examine how automotive R&D in ECE was affected by the increase in production from 0.6…”
Intellectual monopoly in global value chains (2019, background): “…understanding of the global economy while tracking the international fragmentation of productive process and its socioeconomic consequences for both developing and developed countries (Bair, 2009; Gereffi et al., 2005; Milberg and Winckler, 2013; Taglioni and Winkler, 2016; Timmer et al., 2014).”
Value chains, networks and clusters: reframing the global automotive industry (2008, background): “…relational and captive) that are, in part, determined by variables that have been identified by cluster researchers as being important: (i) the complexity of information exchange; (ii) the codifiability of knowledge and (iii) the capabilities resident in the supply-base (Gereffi et al., 2005).”
What are the Implications for Global Value Chains When the Market Shifts from the North to the South (2010, background): “GVC framework, recognizing the centrality of dynamic rents to the global fragmentation and relocation of economic activity (Kaplinsky, 2005) distinguishes four types of upgrading activity (Humphrey and Schmitz, 2001).”
Evolution and relocation in fashion-led Italian districts: evidence from two case-studies (2006, positive): “Our findings reveal that cluster firms’ ability to shift from manufacturing to other activities providing higher returns along the global value chain is key to understanding the effect of globalization and relocation processes on the cluster’s long-term competitiveness.”
Why the World Suddenly Cares About Global Supply Chains (2012, methodology): “Therefore, the descriptive typology outlined in Figure 1 is supported by a parsimonious explanatory model of the conditions under which various types of governance emerge and change over time (see Gereffi et al. 2005; Gereffi 2011 ).”
Voluntary Governance Mechanisms in Global Supply Chains: Beyond CSR to a Stakeholder Utility Perspective (2016, background): “In general, it is assumed that in ‘buyer-driven’ supply chains (Gereffi, 1994), buyers assume the ‘lead role’ in deciding what, how, when and how much product is to be produced—the key parameters of the chain of governance (Humphrey and Schmitz, 2001).”

Transaction Cost Economics As a Theory of Supply Chain Efficiency (2020, background): “The decision is often more nuanced than a binary “make” or “buy” (e.g., Gerefﬁ et al. 2005), but TCE readily incorporates various hybrid governance forms, such as franchising and joint ventures (Bercovitz 2002, Borys and Jemison 1989).”
Global Value Chain Configuration: A Review and Research Agenda (2017, background): “Gereffi et al. (2005) efine upgrading as ‘‘the process by which economic actors - nations, firms and workers -- move from low-value to relaively high-value activities in global production networks’’ p. 171).”
