“…has adopted a specific and semi-peripheral position in the European economy". Geodecki and Grodzicki [41] note the unfavorable competitive position of CE manufacturing in global value chains. Similarly, in a recent study on the CE automotive industry, Pavlínek [42] (p. 2) argues that the region's upgrading "is unlikely to alter its peripheral position in the European automotive industry division of labour".…”

The rapid growth of Central European economies has been related to inward FDI, so these countries are often regarded as dependent market economies. What is interesting in this context is the international expansion of some domestic-owned manufacturing companies from Central Europe. Looking through the lens of global production networks (GPN) and evolutionary resilience perspectives, the paper aims to identify paths and mechanisms of development of new multinational companies, namely Polish automotive firms expanding from around 2010 onwards in the global markets through acquisitions and greenfield investments in Western Europe, North America, and Asia. The authors ponder on the underlying motives and barriers of this process, the capabilities, and features of Polish-owned companies. In order to do it, both qualitative (13 interviews with representatives of new multinationals and the other stakeholders preceded by content analysis of various documents, including company annual reports in particular) and quantitative (analysis of international trade, revenues, employment, locational data) insights are used for the period covering the time span between 1999 and 2020. As the result, the international expansion of domestic-owned firms is interpreted as a specific critical conjuncture of three mechanisms: (1) development of Central-Eastern European economies since the end of communism, (2) the evolution of the Western European core, and (3) the trajectory of individual Polish firms. We argue development trajectories of the firms going global cannot be understood without taking into account the dynamic interdependence between firm-specific capabilities (including the position within GPNs) and the changing characteristics of the countries (e.g., evolving regional assets).

“…Within the cluster dynamics research, the upgrading concept focuses on the improvement of regional clusters' positions in global value chains (GVCs), i.e., it acknowledges the insertion of regional agglomerations into global exchange (Humphrey & Schmitz, 2004a;Gereffi, Humphrey & Sturgeon 2005;Saxenian, 2007). This concept is also closely linked to the current interest in learning and knowledge transfer through international cooperation that prevents regional lock-in (Lam, 2007;Lorentzen, 2008;De Propris et al, 2008;Malecki, 2010;Wall & Van der Knaap, 2011;Gancarczyk, 2015a;Geodecki & Grodzicki, 2015).…”

This paper aims to identify and systemize the research streams in regional cluster upgrading. Cluster upgrading belongs to broader research in the dynamics of industrial agglomerations, currently, the major topic in studies on clusters. Within this literature, the upgrading concept differentiates by the focus on structural change in response to the insertion of regional clusters into global value chains (GVCs). Based on the narrative literature review, we identify and discuss two major research streams and classify them as the positive and the normative. Moreover, we elaborate a framework for studying the antecedents of cluster upgrading to conclude with research questions that may serve further systematic reviews and empirical investigations. This paper provides two contributions to the cluster dynamics literature with a focus on the upgrading of industrial agglomerations. First, it offers a comprehensive approach to the cluster upgrading theory by integrating the fragmented research in this area. Second, it proposes a theoretical framework to set up further research directions.
