“…Generally, these results indicate that the economic performance of companies located in the same country varies profoundly according to a number of characteristics (cf. Blažek et al, 2021; Pavlínek & Ženka, 2016). Thus, it seems unlikely that a uniform trend according to tier exists.…”

“…We acknowledge that the division of economic indicators between those representing value creation and value capture is far from straightforward, and some indicators can encompass features of both value creation and capture. Nevertheless, in selecting the indicators as well as in assigning them to value creation and value capture, we followed the methodology used by Pavlínek and Ženka (2016) and Blažek et al (2021). We acknowledge that we were not able to measure directly the role of intangible assets on value capture, yet we assume their effect will manifest itself in value capture indicators.…”

This paper investigates a widespread assumption in the upgrading literature that lead firms and higher‐tier suppliers perform better and capture a larger value than lower‐tier suppliers. In contrast to other studies, this analysis is based on a detailed examination of a cross‐sectoral sample of 251 companies (including companies outside production networks) nested in a small economy (Czechia). Our results indicate that the economic performance of companies varies profoundly according to a number of characteristics. Generally, domestic firms tend to capture larger value, that is, they spend more on capital investments, research and development (R&D), and personnel costs. Surprisingly, lead firms tend to spend significantly less on personnel costs, taxes and R&D than first‐tier suppliers. The highest value capture is by firms operating outside production networks. The results warn against overgeneralisations and indicate the need for a careful context‐sensitive analysis before the design of supportive policies.

“…Jak již bylo uvedeno výše, v rámci výzkumu inspirovaného zejména teorií globálních produkčních sítí byla v posledních letech věnována značná pozornost analýze tvorby a udržení hodnoty (Pavlínek, Ženka 2016;Coe 2021;Blažek, Bělohradský, Holická 2021;Blažek, Holická 2022;Blažek, Lypianin 2022). Hodnota je v rámci teorie globálních produkčních sítí zpravidla definována buď jako nadhodnota (tj.…”

“…Přestože má tato otázka podstatný význam z hlediska koncepce stimulačních politik inspirovaných výzkumným rámcem globálních hodnotových řetězců / globálních produkčních sítí, zejména pak z hlediska podpory funkčního upgradingu, tj. přesunu firem k aktivitám s vyšší přidanou hodnotou (Humphrey, Schmitz 2002), dosud byla empirické verifikaci těchto předpokladů věnována jen omezená pozornost (Shin, Kraemer, Dedrick 2012;Pavlínek 2016;Blažek, Bělohradský, Holická 2021). Existující studie přitom zdaleka nevedly k totožným závěrům, ale naopak ukázaly, že ekonomické výsledky firem jsou podmíněny podstatně širším spektrem faktorů než jen pozicí v produkčních sítích.…”

In the paper, we employ a global value chain / global production network framework to examine value creation and especially value capture by various types of companies. The analysis is based on economic performance indicators from the 300 largest companies in Czechia based on turnover from 2014 to 2019. However, the hypothesized pattern of value capture was not confirmed in the case of foreign-owned companies. This finding suggests that an important role is played by the mandates multinationals assign to their national branches. The analysis also showed that companies operating in the service sector, broadly conceived, tend to capture less value than manufacturing firms. Finally, companies in both the manufacturing and service sector with access to the end market tend to capture greater value than companies without such access. Overall, our empirical analysis of value captured demonstrates that the assumption of a straightforward relationship between company position within a global value chain or global production network and value capture can be overly simplistic.
