Reconstruction and comparison of the approaches of international supply chains and global value chains

Abstract

Purpose: recreating, comparing and evaluating research approaches of the supply chains management and the global value chains. Design/methodology/approach: comparative analysis based on the reconstruction of theoretical assumptions. Findings: e similarities and differences between the supply chains management theory and the global value chains theory. Research limitations/implications: simplifications resulting from the level of approach generalization. Practical implications: better understanding of tasks by managers. Social implications: revealing the links between economically oriented management and social effects. Originality/value: reconstruction of the theories and identification of similarities and differences. Keywords: supply chain management, global value chain. Category of the paper: general review.

The Impact of Global Value Chain Reconstruction on Innovation: Evidence from Chinese Manufacturing Firms

“…Countries with advanced technology and high wages, particularly Japan, Germany, and the United States, tend to offshore certain stages of production to nearby low-wage countries, forming regional value chains often referred to as Factory Asia, Factory North America and Factory Europe (Baldwin & Lopez-Gonzalez, 2015). From the perspective of individual firms, reconstruction is driven by changes in the system structure resulting from different relationships and interactions among firms (Banaszyk, 2022). Existing studies have primarily measured the reconstruction of the GVC at the industry level.…”
