• Integrating Poverty and Environmental Concerns into Value-Chain Analysis: A Conceptual Framework (2010, neutral): “It involves setting the terms of chain membership, the related incorporation/exclusion of other actors, and the reallocation of value-adding activities (Gereffi, 1994; Kaplinsky, 2000; Ponte and Gibbon, 2005; Gibbon et al., 2008).”
• Global Commodity Chains and the Marxian Law of Value (2010, background): “A similar point could be made about the need to bring other actors into GCC analysis, a point forcefully made by many scholars both within that tradition and from related ones such as GPN research (Gibbon et al 2008; Henderson et al 2002).”
• Agricultural Value Chains in Developing Countries A Framework for Analysis (2011, neutral): “…between firms (Williamson, 1985 and 1999; Rindfleisch and Heide 1997);  the global value chain perspective of Gereffi, Kaplinsky and others, where power relationships, the position of the “lead-firm” and consequences of the distribution of value added are the subject of study (Gibbon et al. 2008).”
• Sustainability governance of chains and networks: a review and future outlook (2015, background): “Governance through (commodity or value) chains instead captures what Ponte and Gibbon (2005) consider governance as normalisation; that is, how external nonfirm actors, such as consumers, NGOs and government institutions, structure flows of information that are taken up in the norms and practices of”
• Geographies of markets: Materials, morals and monsters in motion (2011, background): “…of product quality, analyse the market and non-market frames of reference that are employed to legitimize specific functional divisions of labour along value chains, and ask for the moral implications of these practices (Busch, 2009; Gibbon et al., 2008: 325; see also Ponte and Gibbon, 2005).”
• Economic and Social Upgrading in Global Value Chains and Industrial Clusters: Why Governance Matters (2014, background): “Geographic proximity and dense social relations enable SMEs to develop a close network of suppliers and share a pool of skilled workers, information, and knowledge as well as the infrastructure necessary to collectively improve the efficiency of production activities (Sturgeon 2003).”
• Review and Positions: Global Production Networks and Labour (2011, background): “This is largely because GCC/GVC analysis is a firm-centred form of analysis, one that focuses principally on what are taken to be lead firms in the relevant chains, rather than an analysis of capitalism per se (Gibbon et al., 2008: 316).”
• Rethinking governance and value in commodity chains through global recycling networks (2013, neutral): “Consumer goods receiving most attention have been electronics, tropical commodities including food and flowers, clothing, automobiles and furniture (Gibbon et al. 2008).”
