Item Open Access Evolutionary Trajectories of Industrial Districts in Global Value Chains(Local Clusters in Global Value Chains: Linking Actors and Territories through Manufacturing and Innovation., 2017-09-01) Marchi, VD; Maria, ED; Gereffi, GItem Open Access Global Value Chain Studies: Taking Stock, Looking Ahead: Proceedings of the Doctorate ad Honorem Awarding Ceremony to Prof. Gary Gereffi and related workshop(2023-12-29)How to study the globalization of the economy? What are the scenarios for globalization processes in the post-pandemic era? This book takes stock of the current debate starting with the studies of Prof. Gary Gereffi (Duke University), who developed the theory of Global Value Chains and made a fundamental contribution to the understanding of the dynamics of international trade and the organization of production on a global scale. A research path that led important opportunities to visit and compare with the Italian and Veneto context in particular, through Prof. Gereffi’s numerous visiting periods between Venice and Padua. For these reasons, the University of Padua awarded Prof. Gary Gereffi an Honorary Doctorate in Economics and Management (based on the proposal of the Department of Economics and Management “Marco Fanno”) on March 13th, 2023. The volume contains the proceedings of the ceremony and the workshop organized with scholars who have collaborated with Prof. Gereffi and enriched studies on Global Value Chains through the Italian perspective. Insights from business practitioners are also included.Item Open Access Globalization, Recession and the Internationalization of Industrial Districts: Experiences from the Italian Gold Jewellery Industry(European Planning Studies, 2014-01-01) De Marchi, Valentina; Lee, Joonkoo; Gereffi, GaryGlobalization and the recent recession crisis are significantly challenging Italian industrial districts (IDs), leading to deep transformations in their internationalization, innovation and organization strategies. With our empirical focus on a single industry (gold jewellery) and a specific country (Italy) and through the theoretical lenses of the global value chain (GVC) approach, the evidence in this article sheds light on the differences in how three IDs within Italy's gold jewellery sector (Valenza Po, Arezzo and Vicenza) compete in the global arena. Our comparative analysis reveals striking differences among these districts with regard to their upstream and downstream internationalization strategies in response to two industry shocks: increasing global competition in the early 2000s and the world economic recession of 2008-2009. Our explanation for the varied gold jewellery district responses to these two global crises involves both internal and external factors: (1) structural differences between the three IDs; (2) distinct business strategies; and (3) how these districts are linked to the gold jewellery GVC. © 2013 © 2013 Taylor & Francis.Item Open Access Globalization, Recession and the Internationalization of Industrial Districts: Experiences from the Italian Gold Jewellery Industry(European Planning Studies, 2013) De Marchi, Valentina; Gereffi, Gary; Lee, JItem Open Access Industrial Districts, Clusters and Global Value Chains: Toward in Integrated Framework(Local Clusters in Global Value Chains: Linking Actors and Territories through Manufacturing and Innovation, 2017-09-01) De Marchi, V; Di Maria, E; Gereffi, GItem Open Access New Frontiers for Competitiveness and Innovation in Cluster and Value-Chain Research(Local Clusters in Global Value Chains: Linking Actors and Territories through Manufacturing and Innovation, 2017-09-01) De Marchi, V; Di Maria, E; Gereffi, G
