From the reviews: "This book, an update of the 2005 German edition, is based on interviews with 100+ managers at 54 companies in Western Europe, North America and Asia ... . The book, with a good quality touch, is filled with examples and data from companies and it has well-constructed, insightful data graphs and figures ... . I would highly recommend this book to academicians, consultants and practitioners or anyone who would like to know more about the inner workings of global production networks." (Gyula Vastag, International Journal of Production Research, Vol. 47 (19), October, 2009)
