Global narratives around the links between deforestation and agricultural commodity production have led to the application of voluntary zero-deforestation agreements between companies, governments, and civil society. The continued tropical deforestation warrants a re-examination of this approach in order to customize its application for a particular location. Our paper contributes to this by exploring the spatial associations between deforestation and the production of cacao, coffee, and oil palm in the Amazon region in Peru. The geographical overlaps between deforestation, and the distribution of these commodity crops, indicate four types of spatial associations: (1) a high degree of deforestation and a high degree of commodity production (high-high); (2) a high degree of deforestation and a low degree of commodity production (high-low); (3) a low degree of deforestation and a high degree of commodity production (low-high); and (4) a low degree of deforestation and a low degree of commodity production (low-low). On the basis of these associations, we present four scenarios in which zero-deforestation supply chain interventions may operate in Peru and argue that broadening the perspective of such interventions by adopting a global value chain lens can improve the use of previously deforested lands, prevent unintended or future deforestation and, in turn, ensure that no forest area is left behind.

Global Value Chain

Through a series of government plans, the South African automotive industry has achieved undeniable success, especially in terms of its export orientation. The industry uses efficient technologies and is integrated into global markets. However, major structural weaknesses exist. Export growth has not been accompanied by increasing local content, investment has been modest and employment creation insignificant. Vehicle and component imports into the domestic market are high and the industry runs significant trade deficits. Most core technologies are imported, including advanced power trains and electronics. This chapter considers the structural impediments to the industry’s development, as well as issues related to ownership and power relations between the state and multinational firms. Analysing the potential for further localization and the deepening of the supply chain, the chapter considers global technology developments, domestic productive capabilities, and power dynamics in the global value chain (GVC). The chapter argues that state–business bargaining dynamics have negatively affected this potential. While efforts to deepen the supply chain would allow for more sustainable growth, the achievement of such goals is impossible without concerted commitment from all stakeholders.

Adoption And Implementation

Sustainability and digitization issues have coevolved in supply chain management (SCM), receiving attention from the academic and business circles. However, few studies have addressed this topic in an integrated way. In this regard, this study examined the relationships between sustainable SCM, digital-based supply chain integration, and supplying firms’ performance in two different country settings: South Korea and Vietnam. This comparative study provides evidence that sustainable SCM facilitates the adoption and implementation of supply chain integration using digital technologies, leading to suppliers’ operational competitiveness. This study also indicates the differences and similarities of sustainable SCM and its effects in the two different economies. These findings provide scholars, managers, and policymakers with theoretical and practical implications to encourage firms in Asian countries to enhance corporate competitiveness by adequately responding to environmental and social issues and digitalization along the global value chain.

A foreign direct investment (FDI) is an investment in the form of controlling ownership in a business in one country by an entity based in another country. It is thus distinguished from a foreign portfolio investment by a notion of direct control. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is an investment made by a firm or individual in one country into business interests located in other country. Generally, Foreign direct investment (FDI) takes place when an investor establishes foreign business operations or acquires foreign business assets, including establishing ownership or controlling interest in a foreign company.Foreign direct investment (FDI) in India is a major monetary source for economic development in India. Foreign companies invest directly in fast growing private Indian businesses to take benefits of cheaper wages and changing business environment of India. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) gives both positive and negative impacts on Indian economy in epoch of global value chain. The global value chain (GVC) describes the people and activities involved in the production of a good or service and its supply, distribution, and post-sale activities (also known as the supply chain) when activities must be coordinated across geographies. A supply chain is the network of all the individuals, organizations, resources, activities and technology involved in the creation and sale of a product from the delivery of source materials from the supplier to the manufacturer, through to its eventual delivery to the end user. International production, trade and investments are increasingly organized within so-called global value chains (GVCs) where the different stages of the production process are located across different countries. Industrialists are having different thoughts on impacts of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on Indian economy.

Paper ini bertujuan untuk memahami beberapa strategi internasional dalam pengelolaannya untuk dapat bertahan dalam pasar Indonesia. Menggunakan tiga kasus berbeda antara lain produksi rotan, industri medis, dan social enterprise. Hal-hal yang dibahas lebih lanjut antara ketiganya adalah mengapliksikan global value chain menggunakan supply chain management pada industri rotan, strategi aliansi untuk wholly owned subsidiary pada industri medis dengan dua fokus utama strategi aliansi yaitu license agreement dan joint venture, dan yang terakhir promosi pada social enterprise. Strategi internasional dalam pengaplikasiannya masih harus menyesuaikan dengan kondisi lokal dan mewajibkan perusahaan memahami regulasi yang ada. Dengan pengaplikasian yang tepat sebagai bentuk inovasi dalam usaha, strategi internasional ini diterapkan dengan tujuan untuk meningkatkan kesejahteraan ekonomi di Indonesia.

The Relationship

An inimitable global supply chain would provide multinational enterprises (MNEs) competitive advantage and transfer pricing strategy to coordinate the relationship between the facilities within the global value chain. In this paper, we present a framework of multi-echelon global supply chain consisting of supplier, manufacturer and a distribution center which enables the MNEs to coordinate the facilities within the value chain based on the maximization total profits theory. An optimal model is established to describe how the transfer price affects the performance of the global supply chain. Through the numerical analysis, we find that the network of global supply chain positively affects the total performance of MNEs and transfer price strategy as a kind of coordinate method which impacts the total profit of the global supply chain.

Although North Korea is one of the most closed countries in the world, it has long been pursuing international cooperation with other countries in order to upgrade the quality of its film industry to international standards. Preceding studies on this topic have mainly focused on the political influences behind filmmaking in general and very few studies have exclusively dealt with North Korea’s international co-productions. In this respect, in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of the internalization strategy of North Korea’s film productions, this paper uses the global value chain as a framework for analysis. This approach helps understand the internationalization pattern of each value chain activity of film co-productions in terms of the film location and the methods for collaborating with foreign partners. By dividing the evolution of North Korea’s international co-productions into three periods since the 1980s, this paper finds that although North Korea has shown mixed results with different aspects of the film value chain, it has generally improved its internationalization over the three periods. This paper further provides strategic directions for North Korea by learning some of the successful Chinese experiences in the film sector regarding collaboration with foreign partners—to foster a win-win situation for all involved parties.
