Research on the characteristics and influencing factors of Huawei's mobile phone production network from GPN
Global production network(GPN)is one of the core issues in the current global economic geography research.The network structure and evolution process have been fully discussed.However,the existing research focuses more on foreign leading enterprises,and relatively ignores the network construction and dynamic mechanism of Chinese local leading enterprises.Under the background of economic anti-globalization and great power game,how to reveal its network characteristics and influencing factors based on typical cases still needs to be explored.This paper selects the 2020 Huawei mobile phone bill of materials and supplier data,and tries to scientifically identify the types of Huawei mobile phone production networks based on the corporate actor role function and value chain theory under the GPN2.0 framework,so as to explore the organizational structure of different categories of Huawei mobile phone production networks and the dynamic mechanism of globalized production network development.The results show that:(1)Although overall technological cooperation and component manufacturing exhibit typical global linkage characteristics,what is more noteworthy is that the production networks constructed by enterprise actors with different roles and functions,as well as the different value chain positions of their products,exhibit significant spatial differences.(2)Although factors such as cost capability ratio,market drivers,financial constraints,and risk environment of enterprises under the GPN2.0 framework have played an important role in the construction of Huawei's mobile phone production network space organization,they cannot fully explain its highly complex network hierarchical structure and cross domain characteristics in the real economy.They should be supplemented and integrated with the role of national actors,financial environment,labor conditions,etc.Only then can we more systematically explain the influencing factors of Huawei's mobile phone production network spatial organization construction.(3)For latecomer countries and regions,the integration of local enterprises into global production networks to achieve strategic coupling and regional development requires more coherent theoretical guidance.This study achieved consistency with GPN's emphasis on analyzing the organizational and geographical structural characteristics of enterprises through"product value enterprise location urban carrier",promoting the transformation of urban relationships from field space to value space,and providing scientific practical support for the localization of GPN theory in China.
