- Toward a Dynamic Theory of Global Production Networks (2015, background): “In China, for example, some American and European assemblers are more likely to engage in localization through local design, engineering, and regional headquarters facilities (Liu and Dicken 2006; Van Biesebroeck and Sturgeon 2010).”
- The Emergence of China and India as New Competitors in MNCs' Innovation Networks (2009, background): “The government’s ‘market access for technology’ trading has been particularly strong and active in this sector (on this policy of ‘obligated embeddedness’, see Liu & Dicken 2006) and some of the R&D centres of OEMs have been dubbed ‘PR&D’ (Noble 2006: 18).”
- Industrial Upgrading Through Foreign Direct Investment in Central European Automotive Manufacturing (2009, background): “The common type of R&D identified by Pavlínek (2004) in the Czech automotive industry, which is also typical of other CE countries, is supply-oriented and is based on the division of labour between R&D centres in the automobile core and CE.”
- Global production networks: realizing the potential (2008, background): “The contrasting situations in the automobile industries of China and of Eastern Europe illustrate this point very well (Liu and Dicken, 2006).”
- Linkages and spillovers in global production networks: firm-level analysis of the Czech automotive industry (2016, background): “More or less, we were included in global sourcing together with the Chinese and Indians, and assemblers squeezed everything out of us that was left (interview, July 8, 2011).”
- The Internationalization of Corporate R&D and the Automotive Industry R&D of East-Central Europe (2012, background): “In countries with potentially very large markets, governments have greater bargaining power to mandate that lead firms establish R&D centers within a certain period following their investment in exchange for access to the market (e.g., Liu and Dicken 2006).”
- Conceptualizing leapfrogging with spatially coupled innovation systems: The case of onsite wastewater treatment in China (2012, methodology): “This trajectory has been discussed in various case studies, like the Chinese automobile industry [10, 57] or mobile phone telephony in NICs [16, 37].”
- Upgrading in the automotive industry: firm-level evidence from Central Europe (2011, background): “Governments’ varying roles in industrial upgrading of different industries in different countries have been documented in the GPN and GVC literature (e.g. Hess and Coe, 2006; Liu and Dicken, 2006; Rutheford and Holmes, 2008; Gereffi, 2009; Hassler, 2009), although the GVC analysis tends to focus on ”
