Interrelated Diversification and Internationalisation: Critical Drives of Global Industries

“…institutional, cultural, social and political) and mechanisms (e.g. labor and environmental regulations) that also help explain constraints, bottlenecks, potentials and opportunities (Coe et al, 2008;Parrilli et al, 2013). In addition, as discussed by Coe et al (2008: 272), although the core of all three conceptualisations (GCC, GPN and GVC) is similar (i.e.…”

“…Acknowledging that the characteristics of the local environment are a crucial element in this stream of research, we also need to recognize that the competitive forces associated to an increasingly globalized economy drive companies to create strong internal links and pipelines to global knowledge sources in order to strengthen their core competences (Howells et al, 2003;Caloghirou, 2004;Sotarauta and Pulkkinen, 2011). On these bases, a theoretical framework relying on the concept of global innovation networks (GINs) has been recently developed and applied to globalisation processes (Ernst, 2009;Cooke, 2012;Parrilli et al, 2013).…”

Beyond sustainability criteria and principles in palm oil production: addressing consumer concerns through insetting

“…The initial focus of principles and practices of standards (public, private, and global standards alike) were on national regulations regarding consumer health and safety, as well as private standards to coordinate the organization of production along global value chains (Parrilli et al 2013). Starting in the 1970s, social and ecological impacts of ever increasing global dimensions of production led to a widening of these standards.…”

Configuration of technology networks in the wind turbine industry. A comparative study of technology management models in European and Chinese lead firms

“…Lead firms have developed global networks involving technology and innovation. Recently, the construction of such technology-related networks by lead firms across the world has been termed global innovation networks (Ernst, 2006;OECD, 2008;UNCTAD, 2005;Lall, 2000;Chaminade, 2009;Barnard and Chaminade, 2012;Cooke, 2013;Silva and Klagge, 2013;Parrilli et al, 2013). Global innovation networks are here defined as globally organised networks of interconnected and integrated functions and operations by firms and nonfirm organisations engaged in the development and diffusion of technology and innovation.…”
