The global production network (GPN) 2.0 framework mainly considers the organizational capabilities of lead firms, neglecting the influence of supplier capabilities on the strategic making of lead firms. I argue that the GPN 2.0 framework must integrate the influence of supplier capabilities (both industrial and individual firm levels) to better explain the organization of the global economy. Industrial-level capability determines the possible strategic choices that firms may make under certain dynamic combinations, whereas the individual firm level determines the geographic extension direction of GPNs. Therefore, this study incorporates the influence of suppliers and builds a more flexible strategy-making causal mechanism other than the definitive and limiting causal mechanism in GPN 2.0. I hope this article can promote the further development of GPN 2.0 and convey some valuable concepts to make it perform better in deconstructing the organization of the global economy in the real world.

重新思考全球生产网络的动态：整合供应商的影响力，走向灵活的战略制定因果机制

全球生产网络（GPN）2.0框架主要考虑龙头企业的组织能力，忽略了供应商能力对龙头企业战略制定的影响。我认为GPN 2.0框架必须整合供应商能力（工业和个体企业层面）的影响，以更好地解释全球经济的组织。产业层面的能力决定了企业在某种动态组合下可能做出的战略选择，而企业个体层面则决定了GPN的地理延伸方向。因此，本研究纳入了供应商的影响，构建了除GPN 2.0中确定性、限制性因果机制之外更为灵活的决策因果机制。希望本文能够推动GPN 2.0的进一步发展，传递一些有价值的理念，使其在解构现实世界中的全球经济组织方面发挥更好的作用。
