@techreport{oai:ir.ide.go.jp:00038070, author = {Fujita, Mai}, month = {Mar}, note = {application/pdf, IDP000097_001, This paper examines the impact of China's recent rise on the development of local firms in latecomer developing countries. Based on a detailed analysis of Vietnam's motorcycle industry, the paper argues that China's impact may go beyond what a trade analysis suggests. Indeed, China's rise induced a dynamic transformation in the structure of value chains within Vietnam's motorcycle industry, bringing about far-reaching consequences on the development and upgrading trajectories of local firms. The implications of the case study for the wider "global value chain" approach is also discussed.}, title = {Local Firms in Latecomer Developing Countries amidst China's Rise -The case of Vietnam's motorcycle industry-}, year = {2007} }
