“…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.…”

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.

This study investigates the decoupling of Ukrainian aerospace, defense and electro-engineering industries resulting from the Russian Crimean annexation in 2014. Conceptually, we contribute to global value chain/global production network research by developing the notion of geopolitical decoupling, thus augmenting the existing 2-fold typology. Moreover, the article elaborates a typology of recoupling. Empirically, we investigate patterns of decoupling from Russia and recoupling via alternative production networks as well as patterns of decoupling/recoupling according to the position of companies in the production hierarchy. We found a neat pattern of decoupling from Russia according to tier but profoundly different dynamics of recoupling with the European Union and Asia.

This study addresses the under-researched role of state-owned-enterprises (SOEs) in global value chains/production networks (GVCs/GPNs). It examines how the economic performance, foreign trade, and value capture of Ukrainian firms – classified by ownership, position in GVCs/GPNs, size, and diversification of their customer base – have evolved following the Russia’s occupation of Crimea and parts of Donbas in 2014. The study reveals significant differences in the distribution of SOEs, private, and foreign enterprises between the aerospace/defence and electro-engineering industries. Overall, since the Russian aggression in 2014, the aerospace and defence industries have outperformed electro-engineering firms, largely due to strong state support. The study concludes with broader observations that while even intensive mutual trade could not prevent the war, the war does not necessarily lead to a complete cessation of mutual trade.
