  • Lead firms may opt to fragment their global business processes across multiple service production units, rather than co-locating processes, with the explicit purpose of reducing the hazard of knowledge misappropriation.

    “Gooris and Peeters' (2016) survey of offshore service production units demonstrates that lead firms may opt to fragment their global business processes across multiple service production units, rather than co-locating processes, with the explicit purpose of reducing the hazard of knowledge misappropriation.”

  • Host country institutions can deter investment by lead firms due to insufficient IP protection and underdeveloped legal systems.

    “Host country institutions can both attract investment by lead firms through policies encouraging local content and promoting local supplier linkages (Amendolagine et al., 2019;Dawley, MacKinnon, & Pollock, 2019;Liu & Dicken, 2006;Sturgeon et al., 2008;Yeung, 2016), and deter such investment due to insufficient IP protection and underdeveloped legal systems (Gooris & Peeters, 2016).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
