... In turn, contract manufacturers outsource part of their production to a diverse network of second-tier suppliers for parts and components. These suppliers range from indigenous small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) producing low value added "commodity components" (i.e. computer keyboards, cables and connectors); suppliers of "key components" such as HDDs; and producers of "secondary components" such as semiconductor chips and printed circuit boards (Curry and Kenney, 2004). A particular group of second-tier suppliers are known as "platform leaders", such as Microsoft and Intel; they capture a substantial share of profits in the electronics supply chain by producing highly specialized and innovative components (ILO, 2014). ...

... From 1910 until 1920 a decade long agricultural boom in the USA caused an oversupply of agricultural produce, which saw farmers bring more land into production in an attempt to increase profits, exacerbating the oversupply problem (Kenney et al., 1991). There was little government intervention during this period as it was thought natural market mechanisms would eventually fix the sector's problems. ...

... Environmental hostility encourages supplier alliances within industries and the exchange of timely and accurate information so suppliers can organize production more quickly [59]. For example, Compaq found that strong and strategic relationships with customers were effective and necessary to cope with such environments [60]. Conversely, small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) trying to gain competitiveness through cost leadership in hostile and competitive environments may not be interested in exploiting long-term cooperative relationships [61]. ...

... 19. For example, research on the Internet in Mexico revealed popular "Mexican" e-commerce sites that were hosted on computers in the United States (Curry, Contreras, and Kenney 2004). 20. ...

... A agricultura contemporânea, também chamada de agricultura industrial, segue as mesmas noções e lógica de produção em série, fordista, refletindo redução cognitiva de quem a faz. De acordo Kenney et al. (1989) a evolução do sistema agroalimentar dos Estados Unidos em função do desenvolvimento do fordismo e sua crise. Pontua Kenney et al.(1989) que, após a 2ª Guerra Mundial, a demanda por produtos agrícolas cresceu impulsionada pela situação de crise na Europa e no Japão. ...

... The Los Angeles model illustrates the new capitalist spatialization, which consists of several fundamental characteristics such as the reorganization of urban space in which hinterland organizes the center, omnipresent social polarization and a global connection. This new spatial organization is related to Los Angeles' production of the archetypal industries of twentieth century, such as aerospace, movies, television, music and theme parks (Curry and Kenney 1999). ...

... In the 1980s, the molecularization of biology dovetailed with the advent of utility patents on novel organisms (Diamond v. Chakrabarty) and the passage of the Bayh-Dole Act, fundamentally shifting incentive structures for research and deepening co-dependencies between public universities and agribusiness (Eisenberg, 1996;Kloppenburg, 2004;Boettiger and Bennett, 2006;Glenna et al., 2007). By the 1990s, a study by two Cornell scientists found that landgrant researchers were even more likely to have closer relationships with the biotechnology industry than their counterparts at other research universities (Curry and Kenney, 1990; see also Busch and Lacy, 1983). ...

... Technology is used to organize the exchange of products or services in multiple ways and numerous industrial sectors based on digital and social networks [62]. Having been observed and researched for years as e-business [63], it is now perceived to be a new step or level because of the melding of the roles of the customer and the producer [64]. Scholars describe the blending or overlapping of features within the SE as hybridity [65], [66]. ...

... A major problem is lack of telephones. In 2000, the Northern border states had more than twice as many phones per capita than the states near the Southern border(Curry and Kenney 2006). A decade later, in 2011, the disparities had not changed much. ...

... The strongest European site is Lycos, which was purchased by the Spanish telecommunications firm, Telefonica. Research on the Internet in Mexico found that many of the most popular "Mexican" e-commerce sites were actually hosted on computers in the U.S. (Curry, Contreras, and Kenney 2001). Thus, to some degree the statistics probably understate the centrality of U.S. industry to the Internet. ...
