Abstract

Yang C. Strategic coupling of regional development in global production networks: redistribution of Taiwanese personal computer investment from the Pearl River Delta to the Yangtze River Delta, China, Regional Studies. From the perspective of strategic coupling of regional development in global production networks (GPN), this paper attempts to explore the dynamics and patterns of the redistribution of Taiwanese personal computer (PC) investment from the Pearl River Delta (PRD) to the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) in China since the early 2000s. Through firm-level interviews and case studies, it argues that the redistribution is resulted from divergent strategic coupling between respective Taiwanese firms in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta and their lead firm counterparts fostered by different local institutional initiatives. The study further elucidates that regional development in the global economy has turned increasingly to trans-local dynamics. [image omitted] Yang C. L'association strategique de l'amenagement du territoire dans les reseaux de production mondialises: la redistribution de l'investissement taiwanais en ordinateurs personnels du delta de la Pearl au delta de la Yangtze, en Chine, Regional Studies. Du point de vue de l'association strategique de l'amenagement du territoire dans les reseaux de production mondialises, cet article cherche a examiner pendant les dix dernieres annees la dynamique et la repartition de la redistribution de l'investissement taiwanais en ordinateurs personnels du delta de la Pearl (PRD) au delta de la Yangtze (YRD) en Chine. A partir des interviews aupres des entreprises et des etudes de cas, on soutient que la redistribution resulte de l'association strategique divergente entre les entreprises taiwanaises situees dans la PRD et la YRD et leurs homologues leaders qui se sont developpes suite a diverses initiatives institutionnelles locales. En outre, l'etude montre que, dans le contexte de l'economie mondiale, l'amenagement du territoire porte de plus en plus sur la dynamique trans-locale.

Die strategische Kopplung von Regionalentwicklung in globalen Produktionsnetzen: Umverteilung taiwanesischer PC-Investitionen vom Pearl River Delta zum Yangtze River Delta in China, Regional Studies. In diesem Beitrag wird versucht, die Dynamik und die Ablaufe bei der Umverteilung taiwanesischer PC-Investitionen vom Pearl River Delta (PRD) zum Yangtze River Delta (YRD) in China wahrend der letzten 10 Jahre aus der Perspektive der strategischen Kopplung der regionalen Entwicklung in globalen Produktionsnetzen zu analysieren. Anhand von Interviews und Fallstudien auf Firmenebene wird argumentiert, dass die Umverteilung durch eine divergente strategische Kopplung zwischen taiwanesischen Firmen im PRD und YRD und ihren entsprechenden leitenden Firmen verursacht und durch verschiedene lokale institutionelle Initiativen gefordert wird. Wie aus der Studie weiter hervorgeht, hat die regionale Entwicklung in der globalen Wirtschaft die zunehmend translokale Dynamik verandert.

Conexion estrategica del desarrollo regional en las redes de produccion global: redistribucion de la inversion en PC en Taiwan desde el delta del rio Pearl hasta el delta del rio Yangtze en China, Regional Studies. Desde la perspectiva de la conexion estrategica del desarrollo regional en las redes de produccion global, en este articulo intento analizar las dinamicas y los modelos de redistribucion de la inversion en PC en Taiwan desde el delta del rio Pearl hasta el delta del rio Yangtze en China en los ultimos diez anos. Mediante entrevistas a nivel empresarial y estudios practicos, sostengo que la redistribucion es el resultado de una conexion estrategica divergente entre las empresas de Taiwan en el delta del rio Pearl y el delta del rio Yangtze y sus socios lideres fomentados por diferentes iniciativas institucionales en un ambito local. En este estudio tambien explico que el desarrollo regional en la economia global ha transformado las dinamicas cada vez mas translocales.
