Social Upgrading

Abstract The article compares social upgrading trends in four global value chains (apparel, automobiles, electronics and it services) and six developing and emerging economies (Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India, South Africa and Vietnam). It applies a framework, which combines analyses of industry-specific governance modes with recent theoretical approaches from the field of industrial relations. The empirical results show that prospects for social upgrading within similar segments of a particular value chain considerably depend on the national context. The article thus highlights the importance of integrating the role of national institutions into global value chain analysis in order to better explain variegated upgrading dynamics across different countries and industries.

Production Value

Currently, in Russia there is a need for inclusion of Russian companies in the global value chains. The international alliances created in the automotive industry are able to influence this situation to a certain extent. Increasing the level of localization of such enterprises is a possible solution to the problem of production value chains formation. The aim of this research is to compare the level of production localization of automotive industry enterprises in Russia. The main research methods are comparison, analysis and synthesis of the obtained information. The authors analyzed the degree of localization of the largest automobile enterprises included in international alliances.
