本文开发了一个概念框架，探讨全球生产网络（GPN）的演变、网络旗舰在知识转移中的作用以及本地供应商能力形成之间的联系。GPN是国际商务组织中的一项重大创新。这些网络结合了价值链在企业和国家边界上的集中分散，以及整合网络参与者分层层次的平行过程。网络旗舰店通过正式和非正式的机制向当地供应商传递显性和隐性知识。这对于提升本地供应商的技术和管理技能，使他们能够满足旗舰店的规格是必要的。我们还研究了GPN如何在本地供应商的能力形成中发挥中介作用。(C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.版权所有
This paper develops a conceptual framework that explores the linkage between the evolution of global production networks (GPN), the role of network flagships in transferring knowledge, and the formation of capabilities by local suppliers. GPN are a major innovation in the organization of international business. These networks combine concentrated dispersion of the value chain across the boundaries of the firm and national borders, with a parallel process of integrating hierarchical layers of network participants. The network flagships transfer both explicit and tacit knowledge to local suppliers through formal and informal mechanisms. This is necessary to upgrade the local suppliers' technical and managerial skills, so that they can meet the flagships' specifications. We also examine how GPN can act as mediators in the capability formation of local suppliers. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
