The Internationalization of Corporate R&D and the Automotive Industry R&D of East-Central Europe (2012, background): “…discourage functional upgrading, with the exception of their Tier 0.5 suppliers, to prevent suppliers from moving into lead firms’ core areas of competence, which are their greatest sources of value capture (Humphrey and Schmitz 2004a; Rutherford and Holmes 2008; Dedrick, Kraemer, and Linden 2010).”
Fragmentation, Incomes and Jobs: An Analysis of European Competitiveness (2013, neutral): “Recent case studies of electronic products such as the Nokia smartphone (Ali-Yrkkö, Rouvinen, Seppälä and Ylä-Anttila, 2011) and the iPod and laptops (Dedrick et al. 2010) suggest that it is especially in these activities that most value is added.”
HOW GLOBAL ARE GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS? A NEW APPROACH TO MEASURE INTERNATIONAL FRAGMENTATION (2015, background): “Much of our knowledge on international fragmentation of value chains is based on detailed product case studies such as Dedrick et al. (2010), which are not necessarily representative.”
Slicing Up Global Value Chains (2014, background): “For example, Dedrick et al. (2010) show that for a number of electronic products (iPods and laptops) that are manufactured in China, less than 3 per cent of the export value is actually captured by the Chinese activities.”
GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS: A SURVEY OF DRIVERS AND MEASURES (2016, positive): “A country may stand as a large exporter of a specific good without adding much value to it (see, for instance, Dedrick et al. (2010) for a case study of Apple’s iPod value chain).”
Do Global Value Chains Enhance Economic Upgrading? A Long View (2020, background): “In an already classic case study, Dedrick et al. (2010) found that the Chinese contribution to its gross exports of electronics, such as Apple’s iPod, was only minor.”
The influence of supply network structure on firm innovation (2014, background): “The industry has transitioned from being dominated by large vertically integrated companies—such as IBM, HP, Toshiba and Fujitsu—into an industry where companies have formed global production networks and rely heavily on outside suppliers for integration of knowledge and technology [76].”
Integrating Finance into Global Production Networks (2014, methodology): “Using this method, DEDRICK et al. (2009, 2011), for example, analyse the distribution of financial value from innovation in the global supply chains of iPods, notebook computers and mobile phones.”
