The basic idea of the Commodity Chain concept was to trace all the sets
of inputs and transformations that lead to an “ultimate consumable”. The
concept of “global commodity chain” was later introduced for describing
the apparel commodity chain spread across the globe. In the 2000s, there
was a shift in terminology from the “global commodity chain” to the
“global value chain”, combining the analysis of trade and industrial
organization as a value-added chain. A more recent strand of research
prefers to put the emphasis on the concept of “network” rather than
“chain” because businesses are more interconnected
WHAT MAKES GLOBAL VALUE CHAIN DIFFERENT?
Complexity of transactions
Codifiability of transactions
Competence of suppliers
Source: http://www.globalvaluechains.org/concepts.html
More complex transactions require greater interaction
among actors in GVCs and thus stronger forms of
governance is required rather than simple price-based
markets
Some industries codify complex information so that data
can be handed off between GVC partners with relative
ease, often using advanced information technologies. GVC
partners must have access and expertise for dealing with
such codified information
The ability to receive and act upon complex information or
instructions from lead firms requires a high degree of
competence on the part of suppliers.

For the a product with 481

and assembled in China…
American Value Addition
$163 (54% of retail price)
Domestic component makers $8
Distribution and retail costs $75
Apple’s Value Addition $80
VALUE CREATED BY GLOBAL VALUE CHAIN
Apple’s Value Addition $80
Apple has the biggest value share,
because it figured out a way to turn
481 generic components into a $299
lifestyle marvel
…and they don’t even have to make
it themselves

VALUE CHAINPARTICIPATION IN GLOBAL
Forward linkage
the country provides
inputs into exports
of other countries
Backward linkage
the country imports
intermediate products to
be used in its exports
VALUE CHAINPARTICIPATION IN GLOBAL
In low-wage labor-intensive production, the principal
profits are not realized in manufacturing itself
Majority of the profit is generated in the corporate
coordination and control of the entire 'global assembly
line
Especially: design, marketing and retailing
Contribution to the growth may be limited if the work
done in-country is relatively low value adding
Risk of operating in permanently low value-added
activities.
Potential negative impacts on the environment and
social conditions
