Given the rising importance of global value chain, this paper analyses long-run shifts in export competitiveness of Lithuania’s agri-food industry compared to high and medium-high-technology industries in the context of Lithuania’s export vertical specialization. The combination of two complementary parameters of competitiveness i.e. Balassa (1965) index of Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) and Total Effect (TE) index proposed by Nyssens and Poullet (cited in Amador and Cabral, 2008, p. 202) were used. The matrix of both indexes builds on the scheme of analytical tool “products mapping” suggested by Widoto (2009). Our analytical tool is applied for the empirical analysis of export flows of goods by three end-use categories within aggregate agri-food industry the same as four manufacturing industries classified by R&D intensities, i.e. high-, medium-high-, medium-low- and low-technology industries. The OECD’s STAN Bilateral Trade Database by Industry and End-use category at the same time was applied to empirical analysis. The findings based on detailed analysis indicated significant differences in export competitiveness and its gains or losses in a long-term period among different reporting Lithuania’s industries and different goods by end-use category.

ABSTRACT The geographical distribution of Brazilian industries changed between 2002 and 2014, and it was more significant for some industries. Based on Dumais et al. (2002), we explore the dynamics of these changes by a decomposition of the employment variation and concentration index for manufacturing industries grouped by technological intensity, and we identify the direction of the locational movements of the firms among microregions. In general., the results indicate that between 2002 and 2014, there was a trend of convergence among the microregions’ participation in industrial employment, contributing to industrial deconcentration in the country, with the exception of the group of high-technology industries, which became more concentrated. Components of the life cycle of industries, especially the growth of employment generated by new industries in non-metropolitan microregions, are identified as main propelling of this evidence. In general., the results are consistent with the importance of agglomeration economies over historic accidents to explain the industrial concentration in Brazil between 2002 and 2014.

Value Chain Analysis (VCA) is a tool for analysing the nature and source of value within a supply chain and the potential for reducing waste therein, with the focus explicitly on the determinants of value within a manufacturing process rather than the simple measurement of process outputs. The tool has been successfully applied in recent years within the motor and information technology industries, to assist forward thinking businesses to survive in an increasingly competitive environment. VCA within the food industry faces the challenge where transactional relationships between trading partners remain the norm. This paper reports the results from the first of a series of Government sponsored VCA projects in the U.K. red meat industry. The paper explains the rational for VCA, describes the methodology and reports the findings from a case study involving a food multiple retailer, a meat processor and a livestock producer. Insights are presented into the potential for the use of VCA in the U.K. food industry and the specific issues that researchers need to be mindful of when embarking on a VCA project. The paper concludes by identifying key areas in which further research is required to develop the methodology to suit the unique characteristics of the food industry.

Abstract: Indonesia's position in the global competition for the halal food industry is not yet at the top competitive position. However, there is a significant change in the position of the competitiveness. The change can be seen from the Global Islamic Economy Indicator report for 2020/2021, which positions Indonesia at number 4 (fourth) in the halal food industry. Previously, Indonesia had never been in the top 10 positions. Since Indonesia is the first country ranked in halal consumption, the new ranking position is an achievement. The high competitiveness position during the COVID-19 pandemic also becomes an obstacle to make Indonesia a World Halal Center in 2024. This study aims to discuss an in-depth analysis of the implementation of halal value chain policies in Indonesia and the impact of implementing these policies on the export competitiveness of the Indonesian halal food industry. This study used a qualitative approach with a phenomenological type through data collection by interviewing export business actors in the halal food industry. The experiences of some informants are the key to answers the objectives of this study. This research produces the first halal value chain policy stated in the Halal Product Guarantee Law No. 33 of 2014, which requires all food entrepreneurs to carry out halal certification. The halal value chain in Indonesia applies the principle of traceability which makes Indonesian halal food products competitive. The second application of the principle of traceability is different from other countries, making halal food products produced by Indonesia acceptable to importing countries, especially OIC countries.Abstrak: Posisi Indonesia dalam persaingan global industri makanan halal belum berada pada posisi kompetitif teratas. Namun, ada perubahan signifikan dalam posisi daya saing. Perubahan tersebut terlihat dari laporan Global Islamic Economy Indicator 2020/2021 yang menempatkan Indonesia pada peringkat 4 (empat) dalam industri makanan halal. Sebelumnya, Indonesia belum pernah berada di posisi 10 besar. Karena Indonesia adalah negara pertama yang menempati peringkat pertama dalam konsumsi halal, posisi peringkat baru tersebut merupakan sebuah pencapaian. Posisi daya saing yang tinggi di masa pandemi COVID-19 juga menjadi kendala untuk menjadikan Indonesia sebagai World Halal Center pada tahun 2024. kebijakan daya saing ekspor industri makanan halal Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan tipe fenomenologis melalui pengumpulan data dengan mewawancarai pelaku usaha ekspor pada industri makanan halal. Pengalaman beberapa informan menjadi kunci untuk menjawab tujuan penelitian ini. Penelitian ini menghasilkan kebijakan rantai nilai halal pertama yang tertuang dalam Undang-Undang Jaminan Produk Halal Nomor 33 Tahun 2014, yang mewajibkan semua pengusaha makanan untuk melakukan sertifikasi halal. Rantai nilai halal di Indonesia menerapkan prinsip ketertelusuran yang membuat produk makanan halal Indonesia berdaya saing. Penerapan kedua prinsip ketertelusuran berbeda dengan negara lain, menjadikan produk pangan halal produksi Indonesia dapat diterima oleh negara pengimpor khususnya negara OKI.

The High-technology industries are highly capital-intensive enterprises dealing with short life cycle products, offering potential to simultaneously examine different perspectives of collaborative relationships. Although the extant literature on collaborative activities in business enterprises has progressed along the different stages in the industrial value chain, there is lack of cohesion in the current state of the art. Conceptual clarity and contextual description in particular are dispersed and disintegrated in the current state. In order to integrate the literature and highlight its contributions, it is essential to provide a more technical description and a discussion on supply chain collaboration from various perspectives of the High-technology industry. In this article, the issues pertaining to responsiveness, collaborative development practices, strategic procurement and information technology (IT), and control-oriented approaches are presented. By effectively doing so, we provide a comprehensive literature review to determine the scope for future research in the High-technology industries and other similar manufacturing environments.
