Value Capture in the Global Electronics Industry: Empirical Evidence for the “Smiling Curve” Concept (2012, background): “( 2008 ) argue that complex and tacit knowledge may affect the balance of power and the pattern of governance in global value chains.”
Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs): The Engine of Economic Growth through Investments and Innovation (2020, background): “It can also manifest itself through adopting modern high-performance technologies [84] proving the importance of learning over the study of the market [85] and of the clients’ choices on a very dynamic actual market [86].”
Local and Regional Development in Global Value Chains, Production Networks and Innovation Networks: A Comparative Review and the Challenges for Future Research (2013, background): “In common with other recent commentators (see, in particular, Morrison et al., 2008; Pietrobelli & Rabellotti, 2011) the paper suggests that conceptually, the GVC approach could benefit from drawing upon insights emanating from the technological capabilities and innovation systems literature.”
Managing technological and social uncertainties of innovation: The evolution of Brazilian energy and agriculture (2011, background): “The underlying phenomenon is learning through for example exporting, foreign direct investment and spillovers [3–7].”
The Effect of Local and Global Learning on the Cost of Renewable Energy in Developing Countries (2016, background): “Learning in this share of the industry value chain is local in nature and driven by local market developments and policies – we will refer to it as local technological learning (Morrison et al., 2008; Mytelka, 2000).”
National innovation systems and the intermediary role of industry associations in building institutional capacities for innovation in developing countries: a critical review of the literature (2015, background): “…new opportunities offered” (Pietrobelli and Rabellotti, 2011: p. 1262) through spillovers from the value chain, e.g., recombining new and existing knowledge to improve manufacturing processes, allowing for the production of more sophisticated and complex products (see Morrison et al., 2008).”
Do Global Value Chains Offer Developing Countries Learning and Innovation Opportunities? (2017, background): “As noted in Morrison et al (2008) and Nadvi (2011), the GVC literature provides a poor conceptualization of firm-level technological capabilities accumulation and learning processes.”
How important is GVC participation to export upgrading?* (2021, background): “…the specific GVC functions and activities they perform in the value chain in order to remain competitive in the value chain which ultimately affects the quality of their produce and export (Lall, 1992; Morrison et al., 2008; Newman et al., 2016; Baldwin, 2012; Amiti & Wei, 2009; Schwörer, 2013).”
