            Abstract : 
At first the four modes that the third-party B2B e-marketplaces influence the global production networks (GPN) embeddedness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are presented. Namely, they are transaction mode, manufacturing factory mode, technology factory mode, and mixed mode. Afterwards the different mechanisms in the four modes that the third-party B2B e-marketplaces influence the GPN embeddedness of SMEs are analyzed. At last these four modes and the mechanisms are verified with four cases.
