• Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Base of the Pyramid: A Recipe for Inclusive Growth or Social Exclusion? (2012, background): “In contrast, we found that the ‘high road’ to development (Giuliani et al., 2005) is associated with more constrained economic development approaches connected to local innovations, involving a richer mix of BOP and non-BOP stakeholders such as EMBRAPA scientists and technicians, local NGOs, policy ”
• Global Value Chains Meet Innovation Systems : Are There Learning Opportunities for Developing Countries? (2010, background): “See, for example, Gereffi (1994), Gereffi (1999), Giuliani, Pietrobelli, and Rabellotti (2005), Kaplinsky (2000), Humphrey and Schmitz (2002a,b), Pietrobelli and Rabellotti (2007).”
• Social structure and technology spillovers from foreign to domestic firms (2012, neutral): “Processrelated know-how is that which makes firms better at “transforming inputs into outputs more efficiently by reorganizing the production system or introducing superior technology” (Giuliani et al., 2005: 552).”
• Public-Private Institutions as Catalysts of Upgrading in Emerging Market Societies (2009, background): “…view product upgrading as a particular form of innovation in which firms focus on the creation of new products for higher value by incrementally and iteratively experimenting with new combinations of existing material and natural inputs (Giuliani et al., 2005; Moran & Ghoshal, 1999; Schmitz, 2004).”
• Do Global Value Chains Offer Developing Countries Learning and Innovation Opportunities? (2017, background): “…organizations that belong to the same cluster or region, but that are not part of the GVCs. Earlier research shows that this form of localized learning is relevant for explaining firms’ innovation and upgrading (see among others, Giuliani et al, 2005), which was confirmed by our literature review.”
• Cluster Absorptive Capacity (2005, background): “More convincingly, they are characterized by a higher variability, with differing capacities for generating change and innovation (Bell and Albu, 1999; Caniels and Romijn, 2003; Schmitz, 2004; Giuliani et al., 2005b).”
• Evolution and relocation in fashion-led Italian districts: evidence from two case-studies (2006, positive): “…dynamism in developing as well as advanced countries has increasingly focused on district’s openness to explain innovation and long-term competitiveness (Nadvi and Schmitz 1999, Asheim and Isaksen 2000, Belussi and Pilotti 2002, Bathelt et al. 2004, Giuliani et al. 2005b, Sammarra 2005b).”
• Innovation and international business (2017, background): “However, the capability-enhancing potential of participation in GVCs has also been questioned.”
