Global Value Chains Meet Innovation Systems : Are There Learning Opportunities for Developing Countries? (2010, background): “This includes the geographical dimension from the national to the local scale (Ernst, 2002; Hess & Yeung, 2006).”
The evolution of power in the global coffee value chain and production network (2019, background): “The GPN approach calls for more explicit attention to both economic and non-economic actors, and for more focus on economic actors’ institutional embeddedness (Henderson et al., 2002; Hess and Yeung, 2006; Coe et al., 2008; Coe and Yeung, 2015).”
Global investments and regional development trajectories: the missing links (2016, unknown): “…production networks (GPNs) (e.g., Coe, Hess, Yeung, Dicken, & Henderson, 2004, 2008; Dicken, 1994, 2003, 2007; Dicken & Henderson, 2003; Ernst & Kim, 2002; Henderson, Dicken, Hess, Coe, & Yeung, 2002; Hess & Yeung, 2006; Hobday, Davies, & Prencipe, 2005; Wrigley, Coe, & Currah, 2005; Yeung, 2009).”
Handbook of Innovation Systems and Developing Countries: Building Domestic Capabilities in a Global Setting (2011, background): “This limitation has been rightly stressed in the literature on Global Production Networks (GPN) which deals with how actors in various GPNs are embedded in diff erent places, including therefore the geographical dimension from the national to the local scale (Ernst, 2002; Hess and Yeung, 2006).”
Review and Positions: Global Production Networks and Labour (2011, background): “Two members of the ‘Manchester School of Economic Geography’, Hess and Yeung (2006), further argued that the GPN approach was superior because it focused on: 1.”
Economic and Social Upgrading in Global Production Networks: A New Paradigm for a Changing World (2011, background): “…lead firms and suppliers, but also the whole range of actors that contribute to influencing and shaping global production, such as national governments, multilateral organizations, and international trade unions and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) (Bair, 2009, p. 4; Hess and Yeung, 2006).”
Global Work, Surplus Labor, and the Precarious Economies of the Border (2011, background): “…and practices of governance and biopolitical production by creating a precarious migrant labor force in the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS) (see Hess and Yeung 2006; Perkmann and Sum 2002; Ong 2000, 2008; Sidaway 2007; Smith et al 2008; Sparke et al 2004; Storper and Walker 1989, for parallel…”
Integrating world cities into production networks : the case of port cities (2010, methodology): “The GPN approach as mentioned by Hess and Yeung (2006) is essentially a heuristic approach with an underdeveloped methodological foundation (Dicken 2004).”
Analysing global economic organization: embedded networks and global chains compared (2008, methodology): “In their introduction to a special issue on global production networks in economic geography, Hess and Yeung (2006) identify four intellectual antecedents to the GPN approach: 1) the value chain concept in management studies, most closely associated with the work of Michael Porter; 2) the networks…”
Local and Regional Development in Global Value Chains, Production Networks and Innovation Networks: A Comparative Review and the Challenges for Future Research (2013, background): “A first step towards our theoretical synthesis requires a brief discussion of the historic process of internationalization of markets and the creation of frameworks that have set the scene for our current understanding of globalization (see also Hess & Yeung, 2006; Bair, 2009).”
Social Upgrading and Labour in Global Production Networks: A Critique and an Alternative Conception (2013, methodology): “The most ambitious formulation of the GPN approach is by the ‘Manchester School of Economic Geography’ (see, for example, Hess & Yeung, 2006; Hess, 2008), which explicitly attempts to integrate workers and trade unions into its conceptual framework.”
