Linkages and spillovers in global production networks: firm-level analysis of the Czech automotive industry (2016, background): “…contemporary automotive industry is typified by the high degree of vertical disintegration and, therefore, by strong backward linkages between lead firms (assemblers) and hundreds of their component suppliers organized in hierarchically structured production networks (Humphrey and Memedovic, 2003).”
Mapping fragmentation: Electronics and automobiles in East Asia and Latin America (2004, background): “21 On autos, see Humphrey & Memedovic (2003) and Veloso (2000); on electronics, see Ernst (2000) and Hobday (2001).”
Exporting the German Model: The Establishment of a New Automobile Industry Cluster in Shanghai (2005, background): “Along with the globalization strategies of the automobile producers, first-tier suppliers were also increasingly required to follow their clients to other countries when these clients established new foreign production facilities (Humphrey and Memedovic 2003; Depner and Dewald 2004).”
Global Production Networks, Foreign Direct Investment, and Supplier Linkages in the Integrated Peripheries of the Automotive Industry (2018, background): “The organizational fix is based on the reorganization of the automotive supplier industry since the 1980s, which significantly reduced the number of suppliers and organized the remaining ones into tiers (Humphrey and Memedovic 2003).”

The Internationalization of Corporate R&D and the Automotive Industry R&D of East-Central Europe (2012, background): “…suppliers generally, and Tier 0.5 suppliers specifically, have increased their role in automotive R&D since the 1990s (Humphrey 2000, 2003; Humphrey and Memedovic 2003; Sturgeon and Lester 2004; Sturgeon et al. 2008; Lung and Volpato 2002; Volpato 2004; Van Biesebroeck and Sturgeon 2010).”
Industrial Upgrading Through Foreign Direct Investment in Central European Automotive Manufacturing (2009, background): “The first is the development of regional automotive production systems typified by the selective integration of peripheral areas of especially West European (WE) and North American cores into the automotive manufacturing production and distribution networks (Freyssenet and Lung, 2000; Humphrey and M”
