Process of Cluster Formation in China: A Case Study of a Garment Town (2002, background): “These urban traders bring information about urban demand to the locality, but as in the case of global buyers, they do not seem to contribute to the upgrading of the design and marketing capacity in the cluster [Schmitz and Knorringa, 2000; Humphrey and Schmitz, 2000].”
Introduction: Globalisation, Value Chains and Development (2001, background): “An emphasis on the internal governance structure of supply chains (producer-driven vs. buyer-driven distinction) and on the role of diverse lead firms in setting up global production and sourcing networks (Gereffi and Korzeniewicz 1994).”
Global Value Chains and Technological Capabilities: A Framework to Study Learning and Innovation in Developing Countries (2008, background): “2 Humphrey & Schmitz (2000) distinguish among three possible types of non-market governance: network, quasi-hierarchy and hierarchy.”
Is There a Case for Industrial Policy? A Critical Survey (2006, unknown): “If so, the question once again is whether to promote specific activities within the entire production nexus, but this is beyond the capacity of all but the most competent of governments (Humphrey and Schmitz 2002).”
In the Market But Not of It: Fair Trade Coffee and Forest Stewardship Council Certification as Market-Based Social Change (2005, background): “Governance is often contrasted with ‘‘arms-length market relationships,’’ in which the parameters of operation are defined autonomously by each firm at its point in the chain (Humphrey & Schmitz, 2000, p. 10; also see Dolan & Humphrey, 2000, p. 150; Fitter & Kaplinsky, 2001, p. 14).”
The Internationalization of Corporate R&D and the Automotive Industry R&D of East-Central Europe (2012, background): “R&D is considered to be a crucial component of functional upgrading at the firm level, which is the process of acquiring new functions that generate higher incomes and increase the overall skill content of the firm’s activities in the value chain (Humphrey and Schmitz 2000, 2002, 2004a).”
Competitive Advantages of the Latecomer Firm: A Resource-Based Account of Industrial Catch-Up Strategies (2002, background): “OEM contracting has been generalized to encompass the notion of “global commodity chains” (Gereffi, 1999) or “global production networks” (Best, 2001) or, the term of preference, “global value chains” (Humphrey and Schmitz, 2000).”
Linking Up to Development? Global Value Chains and the Making of a Post-Washington Consensus (2014, background): “The first programmatic statement of the potential synergies between the ‘local’ clusters paradigm and the ‘global’ value chain framework came in 2000 in the form of an IDS working paper authored by two scholars who were founding members of the Global Value Chains Initiative (Humphrey and Schmitz, 20”
Unpacking social capital in Economic Development: How social relations matter (2007, background): “9 Process upgrading is doing things better, product upgrading is producing better products, and functional upgrading is engaging in additional and higher value-added activities (Humphrey and Schmitz 2000).”
Local clusters in global value chains: exploring dynamic linkages between Germany and Pakistan (2005, background): “However, the circulation, absorption and modification of already existing knowledge within the cluster rarely alter the stock of knowledge in more than an incremental way (Humphrey and Schmitz 2000).”
