Purpose - This paper empirically investigates the effect of a rise in the global value chain (GVC) on the industry-level efficiency of resource allocation (based on plant-level inefficiency measures) in Korea, with a focus on various channels through which a rise in the GVC can increase competition among firms and thus induce resources to be allocated more efficiently across firms.
Design/methodology - We empirically investigate the relationship between the industry-specific importance of GVC and the industry-level allocative inefficiency that is measured as the dispersion of the plant-level marginal revenue of capital (MRK) as in Hsieh and Klenow’s (2009) influential model. We compute MRK dispersion for industries sorted by various characteristics that are closely related to firm/industry sensitivity to the GVC. In other words, we compute the average industry-level MRK dispersion for industries sorted by industry-specific importance of GVC and compute the difference between the two groups of industries (higher vs. lower than the median GVC); we also calculate the difference between industries sorted by industry-specific export (import) intensity. This is our difference-in-difference estimate of the MRK dispersion associated with the GVC for the export (import)-intensive industry versus the non-export (non-import)-intensive industry. This differencein- difference estimate of the MRK dispersion conditional vs. unconditional on firm-level productivity is then calculated further (triple-difference estimate).
Findings - A rise in GVC is associated with a decrease in the MRK dispersion in the export-intensive industry compared to the non-export-intensive industry. The same is true for industries that rely heavily on imports versus those that do not (i.e., import intensive vs. non-intensive). Furthermore, the reduction in the MRK dispersion in the export-intensive industry associated with an increase in the GVC is disproportionately greater for high-productivity firms. In contrast, the negative relationship between GVC and MRK dispersion in the import-intensive industry is disproportionately smaller for high-productivity firms.
Originality/value - Existing studies focus on the relationship between GVC and aggregate output, exports, and imports at the country level. We investigate detailed firm/industry-level mechanisms that determine the relationship between GVC, trade, and productivity. Using the plant-level data in South Korea, we investigate how GVC is related to the cross-firm MRK dispersion, an important measure of allocative inefficiency, based on Hsieh and Klenow’s (2009) influential economic theory. This is the first study to provide plant-level evidence of how GVC affects MRK dispersion. Furthermore, we examine how the relationship between GVC and MRK-dispersion varies across export intensity, import intensity, and firm-level productivity, providing insight into how GVC can affect firms’ exposure to competition in the global market differently depending on market conditions and thus generate trade-related productivity gains.

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of new product development on corporate value, by analyzing the stock market response to the announcement of new product developments.
Design/Methodology/Approach - Based on the event study methodology, the empirical analysis sampled 442 new product announcements made by 150 export manufacturing firms listed on the KOSPI and KOSDAQ markets in Korea, for the period 2001-2020.
Findings - The results support the first hypothesis that the announcement of new product has a positive effect on abnormal returns. In terms of the determinant of the abnormal returns, the firm-specific variables investment opportunities and debt ratio were positively associated, and firm size and free cashflow variables were negatively related to abnormal returns. Being in a high-tech industry was found to have a positive impact. In terms of the Competitive Strategy Measure, the result supported the hypothesis that strategic substitute competition has a greater positive impact on the abnormal return of the announcing firms. R&D intensity and firm dominance were found to be insignificant. The magnitude of newness embedded in a new product was also found to be insignificant.
Research Implications - This study further extends the existing literature in that it empirically tested the role of a new product on corporate value, and provides an empirical analysis of the determinants that affect the announcing firm’s abnormal returns gained in response to new product announcement, including firm-related variables and the competitive nature of the market.

This study explores the various effects of technology trade on the sustainable market value of firms in 36 OECD member countries using panel data estimations. To proxy technology trade activities, our study uses the technology export and import growths of intellectual property rights (IPRs). We suggest that technology imports, proxied by IPR imports, increase the market value of firms in our sample countries. The net technology imports (exports) are also positively (negatively) associated with the sustainable value of the firms. We use panel data regression to analyze the specific effects of the trade (i.e., imports and exports) of technology assets, proxied by IPRs, on the market value of firms proxied by country benchmark composite stock returns in 36 OECD member countries. For robustness, our study uses an instrumental variable estimation to check for the possible effects of endogeneity biases for the baseline results. System dynamic panel regressions further examine the effect of the dependent variable’s persistence. We find evidence of nonlinear effects for IPR exports and net IPR trade on the sustainable market value of firms. The positive effect of technology imports on the market value of firms is stronger at the lower and middle levels of the distribution of the firm value of stock returns, and this suggest heterogenous effects of technology trade across the quantiles. Overall, the empirical findings from our panel study suggest that the positive effects of technology trade for the market value of firms are due to the effect of its imports rather than exports.

Using firm-level data in Canada from 2002 to 2008, I compare the economic performance of three types of firms: those that both export and import (called globally trading firms—GTFs), exporters-only, and importers-only. The results show that GTFs are more productive, larger, more capital intensive, pay higher wages, trade more goods, and trade with more countries than both types of one-way traders. These premia for GTFs were found even before they turned into GTFs (self-selection). Moreover, even after turning into GTFs, the productivity growth of a subset of them was faster than that of one-way traders. The higher the involvement in global value chains (GVCs), the higher was the performance of the “learning-by-turning GTFs”. The GTFs with higher productivity growth were the ones that imported from multiple countries, not those that imported only from China. By another measure, they were both-in-both GTFs—those that traded both final and intermediate goods, and in both directions (exports and imports). Even though they employed only 10% of Canada’s business sector workforce, they contributed 60% of its labour productivity growth.

AbstractThis paper examines the impact of local firms’ participation in global value chains (GVCs) on productivity by considering three different patterns of GVC participation. We conducted a DID‐PSM estimation involving three countries, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Vietnam, and 17 manufacturing sectors in 2009 and 2015 in a panel framework. We found an endogenous relationship between firm productivity and GVC participation: firms that enter GVCs have high productivity before participating in the GVCs (selection effect), and only Indonesian firms that entered GVCs had high productivity growth after joining GVCs (learning effect). These two effects were only found for firms that both import intermediate goods and export output and not for firms that only either import or export. We also found that indirect exporting does not improve a local firm's productivity. Several recommendations are made to help firms and governments facilitate the participation of firms in GVCs.

Texto completoResumen
Based on a sample of 461 micro- and small family businesses in Western Austria, this study aimed to analyze the degree of internationalization of individual activities in the value chain and their influence on the export probability of family firms. The results show that exporting and non-exporting micro- and small family businesses are internationalized in different value chain activities and can partly explain the export probability. The resource-based view (RBV) can only be used to a limited extent to explain the export activities of micro- and small family firms, and certain firm-specific and individual-decision-maker characteristics can significantly explain export probability. The findings suggest that a) micro- and small family firms take different paths of internationalization concerning their value chain and b) that the global value chain (GVC) approach should be integrated into theoretical concepts to obtain an improved explanatory model of the internationalization behavior of (family) businesses.

This paper examines the effect of the Global Financial Crisis on manufacturing firms in Sweden by analyzing the effect of trade exposure on firm performance. This study examines the decline in international trade during the global financial crisis by focusing on the relationship between global production linkages and firm performance. The trade exposure at the firm and industry levels were measured to assess the direct and indirect effects of the crisis on firm performance. Robust evidence was found of a negative relationship between trade exposure and the firms’ sales and value-added growth during the crisis. In addition, it was found that higher export dependence was associated with lower sales growth during the crisis. Our results also show that the effect of the decline in the external demand on firm performance depends on the international input-output linkages. In particular, industries that are upstream in the value chain experienced a less severe decline in performance during the crisis.

[Purpose] This study investigates factors affecting the voluntary disclosure of environmental expenditures in Korea. For this purpose, we select firms listed on the KOSPI 200 from 2011 to 2021, excluding financial firms.
[Methodology] We consider whether a firm manages environmental performance, international influences, and internal corporate governance as determinants influencing voluntary environmental expenditure disclosure and conduct logistic regression analyses.
[Findings] First, firms that set a target level for pollutant emissions and firms that are assigned good ratings regarding environmental performance from KCGS are more likely to disclose environmental expenditures voluntarily. Second, strong international influences, proxied by a high export ratio and foreign ownership, are positively associated with the voluntary disclosure of environmental expenditures. Third, good internal governance, proxied by good governance ratings assigned by KCGS and the ratio of outside directors to total directors, is positively associated with the likelihood of firms’ voluntarily disclosing environmental expenditures. Lastly, we find that voluntary disclosure of environmental expenditures has a positive effect on firm value, while the amount of environmental expenditures itself shows statistically insignificant effects on firm value.
[Implications] This study contributes to the literature by investigating factors that determine voluntary disclosure of environmental issues in Korea. Moreover, by showing the positive value implications of such disclosures, we encourage managers to disclose environmental issues voluntarily.

Texto completoResumen
Global warming is highlighting the importance of carbon emission reduction, while firms in developing countries are facing the dual challenges of carbon reduction and exporting real gains improvement. Using the Chinese Customs Transaction-level Trade Statistics Dataset and the Chinese Annual Survey of Industrial Firms Dataset from 2008 to 2014, we identified the impact of China’s Low-carbon Pilot Policy (LCPP) on firms’ ratios of the domestic value added in exports for the first time by adopting a difference-in-difference method. Our findings show that China’s LCPP continuously improves firms’ ratios of value added in exports, providing empirical evidence for the topic of whether carbon reduction regulations affect firms’ export real gains. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the improvement impact of LCPP on dirty firms is weaker than that on clean firms. The mechanism test also shows that firms’ production efficiency plays the role of partial intermediary in the relationship between LCPP and firms’ ratios of domestic value added in exports. Our research extends the micro effect of LCPP to the field of exporting real gains, and enriches the research on influencing factors of firms’ ratios of the domestic value added in exports.

Journal of Comparative International Management 27, n.º 1 (19 de junio de 2024): 31–42. http://dx.doi.org/10.55482/jcim.2024.33509.

Global value chains (GVCs) involve globally dispersed activities among interdependent firms. They provide an avenue for developing country firms to improve their export performance. A dominant view is that they can accomplish this outcome with close or trusted relationships with more established GVC partners. However, other factors determine how much such relational capital translates into superior export performance. Drawing on an interfirm learning perspective, we explain why the export effects of developing country firms’ relational capital with GVC buyers and suppliers could depend on technological turbulence. We hypothesize a positive relationship between these firms’ export performance and their relational capital with GVC buyers and suppliers. But we expect technological turbulence to weaken this relationship. Based on a sample of 95 Bangladeshi firms in the ready-made garment industry, this quantitative analysis reports evidence that partially supports our predictions. Specifically, we find a positive relationship between these firms’ relational capital with GVC buyers and their export performance. In addition, the higher the technological turbulence, the weaker this relationship. Overall, this research adds to the theory and practice of interfirm learning in GVCs from the perspective of developing country firms.

Aproskie, Jason. "The relationship between firm size and exports in the context of merger review in South Africa : is the international competitiveness public interest clause of the Competition Act valid". Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5760.
Texto completoResumen
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 32-34).According to the Competition Act of South Africa, proposed mergers, if rejected on the grounds of anti-competitive effects as well as the efficiency considerations, may be passed on certain public interest grounds. The fourth public interest clause potentially allows mergers to be passed should the merged firm become more able to compete in international markets. This paper interprets the clause to refer to a relationship between firm size and exports, and investigates this supposed relationship and, in so doing, the validity of the clause. It is found that firm size is positively related to export propensity, the likelihood of exporting any output. However, firm size is found to be unrelated to the intensity of exporting, the proportion of output that is exported by the firm. This paper covers new areas of research, and its conclusions call into question the inclusion of the relevant public interest clause in the Competition Act.

Texto completoResumen
This thesis deals with the globalization of production, a salient feature of the modern economy. The development of international outsourcing as a widespread business practice and the simultaneous decrease in trade and transport costs have contributed to the growth of a phenomenon known as global value chains. The main aim of the thesis is to understand how global value chains alter the location of economic activity. The thesis also studies the extent of firms' participation in global value chains and its consequences for firm performance. The thesis consists of four papers studying the behavior of firms in global value chains. Paper 1 analyzes how production fragmentation influences the importing and exporting behavior of Swedish firms in the manufacturing sector. Paper 2 focuses on manufacturing firms in the ICT sector and analyzes the effect of global sourcing on firm performance. In Paper 3, the thesis examines deeper implications of global production by investigating whether exposure to trade raises firms' sensitivity to external shocks. The final paper in the thesis studies the location patterns of multinational firms and analyzes the effect of institutional distance on the number of multinational entries in developing countries. A number of patterns emerge from these studies. The first is that Swedish manufacturing firms increasingly participate in global value chains by sourcing production inputs from overseas to create products for local and foreign customers. As a result, global value chains help to alter the specialization patterns of manufacturing firms. The second finding is that firms reap benefits from global sourcing in the form of greater efficiency. However, global sourcing may also raise the responsiveness of firms to negative external shocks. The final key result points to a developing trend in the location of activity in which emerging market multinational firms are becoming significant sources of foreign direct investment flows and their investment patterns challenge existing theories of multinational location choice.

Texto completoResumen
This PhD thesis contains four main essays on financial health and firm value, with a focus on the term board structure – unitary and dual. With the exception of Chapter 1 and Chapter 6, which set out the general introduction and conclusion, each of the chapters can be considered as a standalone piece of work. In Chapter 2, we model and predict, using FTSE100 and Nasdaq100 sample data, the impact of audit committee financial experts on firm value. Model dimensions and parameters were conducted over a period of five years and allowed to change to four years, so as to ascertain lag effects. The proposed financial expert decision - making model (Throughput Model) allows us to estimate these influences. Hence, we find mixed results. Chapter 3 investigates ethical consideration influences on the role of United States, United Kingdom and German audit committees. Simultaneously, we empirically test whether financial experts may influence firm value in German Dax100 firms using the preference –based pathway. Our empirical results suggest that accounting experts exerts significant influence on firm value. Chapter 4 examines the impact of regulations on the performance of Nasdaq100 firms in the US. Our result suggest that the Sarbanes – Oxley Act has indeed changed the dynamics of business structure and improved monitoring. We find evidence of a positive significant influence of supervisory financial expert on financial health but accounting experts, negative.

In recent years, with the occurrence of food safety and environmental issues, resulting in the community more and more pay attention to the implementation of corporate social responsibility. This study to explore the relationship between corporate social responsibility and firm value. In the past, many studies to explore corporate society Responsibility and firm value, in corporate social responsibility use an overall performance. This study is different from the past studies, in corporate social responsibility use performance indicators for "responsibility management", "market responsibility", "social responsibility", "environmental responsibility". In this study, the corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance of china firm, which was obtained from RESEARCH REPORT ON CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF CHINA , plus the related variables of the firm value, which was collected from the database of the Taiwan Economic Journal (TEJ), based on Tobin's Q used this variables to calculate the firm value. Take the corporate social responsibility and the firm value as the sample, to do Rough Set and Decision Tree methods of data mining technology, extract the most influential of the important variables between the corporate social responsibility and the firm value. The empirical results show that in the corporate social responsibility variables, an important variable affecting firm value is the environmental responsibility, and in non-corporate social responsibility variables, an important variable affecting firm value is the debt ratio.

In previous studies, there were some correction between executive compensation and firms value； however exceed compensation couldn’t encourage them to increase the Firm value, but might reduce it. Therefore, in this research, we analyzed the correction between Executive compensation and Firm value of all listed companies in Taiwan to verify any positive (or negative) correction with stock price. In order to provide more reference informations for the investors during selecting the investment targets. In this research, we selected the public employees pension fund investment as the object, we wish the conclusion of this study could help fund managers to make investment decisions that could improve the fund’s remuneration and achieve the investment performance.

Texto completoResumen
Using the South African Revenue Service and National Treasury firm-level panel data for 2009–17, this paper investigates how global value chain-related trade affects the export performance of manufacturing firms in South Africa. In particular, the paper uses extant classifications of internationally traded products to identify different categories of global value chain-related products and compares the productivity premium of international traders for these different categories. Also, the paper investigates possible differences in learning-by-exporting effects across the identified categories of global value chain-related products by estimating the effect of exporting before and after entry into foreign markets. The results confirm that global value chain-related trade is associated with a higher productivity premium compared with traditional trade. However, within the categories of exporters, only the firms that trade in global value chain-related products and simultaneously engage in research and development in the post-entry periods appear to learn from exporting.

Texto completoResumen
How legacy firms can combine their traditional strengths with the power of data and digital ecosystems to forge a new competitive strategy for the digital era. How can legacy firms remain relevant in the digital era? In The Future of Competitive Strategy, strategic management expert Mohan Subramaniam explains how firms can leverage both their traditional strengths and the modern-day power of data and digital ecosystems to forge a new competitive strategy. Drawing on the experiences of a range of companies, including Caterpillar, Sleep Number, and Whirlpool, he explains how firms can benefit from data's enlarged role in modern business, develop digital ecosystems tailored to their unique business needs, and use new frameworks to harness the power of data for competitive advantage. Subramaniam presents digital ecosystems as a combination of production and consumption ecosystems, which can be used by legacy firms to unlock the value of data at various levels—from improving operational efficiencies to creating new data-driven services and transforming traditional products into digital platforms. He explores the ways sensors and the Internet of Things provide new kinds of customer data; presents the concept of digital competitors—other firms that have access to similar data; discusses the new digital capabilities that firms need to develop; and addresses privacy and security issues associated with data sharing. Who needs this book? Any firm that wants to revitalize traditional business models, offer a richer customer experience, and expand its competitive arena into new digital ecosystems.

Texto completoResumen
Radio experienced even faster diffusion in Britain than in the United States. The stakes for control over the industry’s profits were thus particularly high. Marconi initially used its monopoly over fundamental payments to extract huge rents from the set makers. Then in the 1930s, when Marconi’s fundamental patents began to expire, the two major producers of radio valves (thermionic tubes) sought to use patents to gain control over the industry—offering packages of radio patents to manufacturers in return for tying the manufacturer to buying their valves. Yet this strategy proved unsuccessful, as independent firms such as Ekco, Pye, and Murphy were able to develop strong brands that counteracted the market power of the valve manufacturers, eventually giving them the upper hand in patent negotiations. This chapter explores the battle for control of the radio value chain.

Texto completoResumen
David A. Buchanan and David Denyer explore how unconventional methods have been used to study extreme settings which, involving degrees of risk and threat, are often considered challenging in terms of research access. These methods include the extensive use of single case studies based on non-traditional public information sources, embedding researchers in the context to be investigated, and the use of fictional accounts from film and television as sources of evidence. Organizational researchers using these methods are often cast in the roles of historian and detective, reconstructing event sequences from the available evidence, from different sources, assessing the relative value of that information, and drawing it into a coherent account. Four studies illustrate these methods, from hospital operating theatres, nuclear reprocessing, offshore oil and gas storage, and fire and rescue services. As organizational contexts become more volatile, extreme context research may not be as specialized and problematic as the label suggests.

Texto completoResumen
Using image and film advertisements, interviews, social media and public and private archives, Luxury Fashion and Media Communication offers an interdisciplinary approach to analyzing the value of the luxury object. Regular reports on consumption in media and frequent advertising on social media have allowed people all over the world to share in the issues and development of luxury; but how is it communicated, and how has it affected the consumer? An international range of scholars explore the material and immaterial value and meaning of luxury, how it is materialized and how it is communicated between the luxury industry and the consumer. Investigating French, Italian and Spanish luxury brands and their communication strategies on the global market, and including two chapters focusing specifically on the Chinese and American markets, they examine the ambiguity of the luxury commodity. This volume shows particularly the conflicting narratives between the idea of exclusivity and human skills and their mass marketing. In exploring theoretical perspectives alongside the practicalities of how luxury is communicated, Luxury Fashion and Media Communication reveals the value of the luxury object and the consumer’s behaviour in relation to that value. It offers an innovative and important intervention in the inter-related fields of luxury fashion, media and communication, and key reading for scholars, students and practitioners wishing to explore the material and immaterial value of luxury.

Texto completoResumen
Emerging Markets are the primary source of growth for business in the 21st century. This makes an understanding of managing businesses in emerging markets a fundamental building block for competing in today's global economy. This book's approach is to identify key elements of the business systems and competition in emerging markets around the world, and then to look at competitive strategies of local and multinational companies going into and coming out of these countries. Specific focus is offered on a selection of countries/regions. These emphases should serve both researchers and managers interested in knowing more about managing firms in emerging markets in general and in specific countries in particular. The essays highlight the tension between local and global knowledge, that is, views of business that apply everywhere around the world versus views that are particular to emerging markets. The essays also explore the role of local and international firms operating in emerging markets within global value chains or production networks.

Texto completoResumen
Do patents facilitate or frustrate innovation? Lawyers, economists, and politicians who have staked out strong positions in this debate often attempt to validate their claims by invoking the historical record—but they typically get the history wrong. The purpose of this book is to get the history right by showing that patent systems are the product of contending interests at different points in production chains battling over economic surplus. The larger the potential surplus, the more extreme are the efforts of contending parties, now and in the past, to search out, generate, and exploit any and all sources of friction. Patent systems, as human creations, are therefore necessarily ridden with imperfections; nirvana is not on the menu. The most interesting intellectual issue is not how patent systems are imperfect, but why historically US-style patent systems have come to dominate all other methods of encouraging inventive activity. The answer offered by the essays in this volume is that they create a temporary property right that can be traded in a market, thereby facilitating a productive division of labor and making it possible for firms to transfer technological knowledge to one another by overcoming the free-rider problem. Precisely because the value of a patent does not inhere in the award itself but rather in the market value of the resulting property right, patent systems foster a decentralized ecology of inventors and firms that ceaselessly extends the frontiers of what is economically possible.

AbstractTechnology giants owe much of their success to fundamental improvements in the science and technology of information and communications technology. However, complementary advancements were also necessary, and, much as firms had to learn to incorporate electricity in the last nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, we posit that the giant platforms have learned to harness the contributions of external actors in order to grow more rapidly than would otherwise have been possible. Thus, the drivers of the dramatic rise of the tech giant platform firm can be viewed as a business model innovation as well as a technical innovation. As orchestration business models become better understood, we expect that firms in non-platform sectors are increasingly likely to adapt practices that also allow them to participate in and benefit from external value creation. At the same time, we expect regulatory scrutiny to increase as the power and reach of technology giants increases and their influence is felt across the economy.

AbstractIn this chapter, we describe platforms and their structure and how that structure differs from traditional linear value chains. We then discuss some of the key economic factors, including two-sided and multi-sided network effects, which underpin both the platform value proposition and the ability to create welfare for users. Platform and technology firms have grown to the point where their market capitalizations greatly exceed oil, gas, and financial services firms. We then explore some key governance and regulatory issues, including privacy, false information, and antitrust. We conclude with a discussion of emerging issues posed by Large Language Models such as ChatGPT, including their ability to create false information at scale and disrupt creative industries.

AbstractWe critique the view of the platform economy as implying a necessary regulation of big tech in the form outlined in “the entrepreneurial state.” The basis for this view is a combination of fallacy, error, and political choice. The combinations of these factors drive toward a conclusion that the platform economy adds little or no value to the economy and subsequently should be heavily regulated, and moreover, regulated in an internationally coordinated manner. We instead argue that the rise of large platform firms is exactly what we expect to observe in the transition from an industrial to a digital economy.

AbstractThe container revolution in the last decades of the 20th century determined the arise of container ports. They further evolved in the so-called third-generation ports, becoming generators of value added due to the manipulation of goods in transit. The increase of value added in third-generation ports is amplified in core ports connected to TEN-T/RFC corridors, where Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and the three pillars of smartness (ICT, Transport and Energy) are present. The paper deals with time-series models for the estimation of economic impact of a SEZ in an underdeveloped region of EU. The test case is the Calabria region (Italy). SEZ in Calabria has its fulcrum in the industrial area close to the transhipment hub port of Gioia Tauro. The economic impacts of the SEZ were quantified through two variables: exports and employment of industrial firms settled in Calabria. The comparison of two scenarios (Do-Nothing scenario and SEZ) shows relevant positive impacts in the SEZ one. Future developments concern the calibration and validation of multi-variate time-series models from observations provided by worldwide SEZs.

AbstractMany companies in the Industry 4.0 (I4.0) environment are still lacking knowledge and experience of how to enter and participate in a platform-based ecosystem to gain long-term competitive advantages. This leads to uncertainty among firms when transforming into platform-based ecosystems. The article presents a structuralist approach to conceptualize the platform-based ecosystem construct, giving an overview of the literature landscape in a model bundled with unified terminology and different perspectives. The holistic process model aggregates the findings of 130 papers regarding platform-based ecosystem literature. It consists of 4 phases and 16 design elements that unify different terminologies from various research disciplines in one framework and provide a structured and process-oriented approach. Besides, use cases for different design elements were developed to make the model apply in an I4.0 context. Use Case I is a methodology that can be used to model and validate usage hypotheses based on usage data to derive optimization potential from identified deviations from real product usage. By collecting and refining data for analyzing different manufacturing applications and machine tool behavior the importance of specific data is shown in Use Case II and it is highlighted which data can be shared from an external perspective. Use Case III deals with strategic modeling of platform-based ecosystems and the research identifies control points that platform players can actively set to adjust their business models within alliance-driven cooperation to create and capture value jointly. Use Case IV investigates the status quo and expectations regarding platform-based ecosystems in the field of laser technology with the help of structured expert interviews.

In this chapter, we will discuss what value is and how a firm in the Interactive Digital Marketplace may garner it with a fundamental technology option. Firms often come to a crossroad, choosing whether to keep a platform open or closed. This decision is never direct or ever simple. We explore the various value propositions that a firm may derive by keeping the platform open versus closed and see how the firm has to look both ways, inwards and outwards, to arrive at a solution. Market forces, though invisible, are strongly felt by the firm. This chapter also investigates how these forces affect this decision. Lastly, we propose an overarching framework that we hope may prove useful in aiding the reader with this difficult decision.

This research has two main objectives. Firstly, this research contributes to defining the concept of export entrepreneurship from a theoretical point of view, and this is a contribution taking into account the scarce and fragmented literature published about this topic. Furthermore, the authors explain export entrepreneurship dimensions – speed, degree, and scope. Thirdly, we empirically analyze the internal drivers of export entrepreneurship from the resource-based view—RBV—and the Schwartz' value approach. A conceptual model is proposed and tested with a multi-sectorial sample of 212 Spanish exporting companies. The results reveal that export entrepreneurship is positively affected by internal factors, such as export commitment, managers value, and experiential and structure resources. The results offer academic and managerial contributions for the field of export activities.

The key challenge for young firms in export markets is to find the market opportunity and to develop an appropriate value proposition. The aim of this study is to identify the specific marketing capabilities that support the process of internationalization in young firms and to develop the model that links marketing capabilities to the export performance. The research model was tested within young exporting firm sample in Latvia. Quantitative data was analysed using factor analysis and structural equation modelling with PLS-SEM. This study identifies a unique set of marketing capabilities that enhance the export performance. Strategic marketing capabilities that have a positive effect on export performance are 1) customer engagement (the largest effect), 2) partner linking, 3) market sensing, 4) new product development and 5) strategic creativity capabilities. Firms need to develop cultural marketing capabilities - agility, proactivity, adaptiveness and openness to experiments in the export marketing process. This type of behaviour, particularly proactivity and openness to experiments, has a positive effect on export results and enhances the level of strategic marketing capabilities. The research model can be used by export firm managers and owners to improve the export performance and by government export promotion program leaders to develop and substantiate support tools and activities.

INTRODUCTION This chapter presents the initial findings of a survey of firms in Cambodia based on structured interview and questionnaire to explore the intentions of local firms in Cambodia to address social needs as part of their business model. Addressing social needs whilst simultancously making a profit is a practice that would be interpreted as creating shared value. The Cambodian firms were located and interviewed by students taking the course. This was the first time that this survey was carried out. The timing of the study was highly appropriate during the COVID-19 pandemic as the sudden downturn in economic activity combined with the pressure on public services to cope with the pandemic, not to mention the concerns of the population facing the spreading threat of COVID-19, has focused attention on social needs as well as business performance. Whereas prior to COVID-19 business performance would more likely be primarily be assessed in terms of growth, market share and profit margins, during and post COVID-19 the contribution of a firm’s activities to the social good has arguably become more of the focus of attention. What the firm is actually doing and how this contributes to the needs of the community it serves is now a question more likely to be asked, rather than whether the firm has simply been able to find a profitable niche and source of growth. This survey is based on the components of creating shared value which provide a framework and is intended to provide an indication as to whether firms in Cambodia consider that they are contributing to social needs. The survey has included many small firms, a few large international firms and covers a range of sectors. Many of the firms are young, having been established in the last one-to-five years. Most operate either within Phnom Penh and/or in the regions of Cambodia. The results indicate that there is a strong sense of social awareness amongst firms even if they were not aware of the shared value concepts. The majority of the firms had specific intentions to address social needs as part of their business and this was consistent over a wide range of sectors. The survey can be used as supportive data in the development of a comprehensive framework to measure shared value based on firms’ intentions to address social needs. The fact that this survey was carried out during 2020, the period of the COVID-19 pandemic is unlikely to have influenced firme strategies per se.

INTRODUCTION Cambodia’s exports of goods and services outpaced the country’s economic growth and outperformed global export growth over the past years. Exports of goods and services increased dramatically during the past years, from about US$4.2 billion in 2009 to US$14.7 billion in 2019 (O’Neill, 2021). The solid export growth resulted in improved livelihoods for Cambodian households. Trade is a medium for productivity led growth in a small economy like Cambodia. It gives companies access to wider markets and boosts foreign direct investment. But the COVID-19 pandemic had badly affected the freight forwarding services in Cambodia, and particularly logistics firms, which are involved in the movement, storage, and flow of goods, have been directly affected by the global pandemic. For Cambodia, there was no remarkable gains in freight transport in the early 2020. According to the Cambodia Freight Forwarders Association (CFFA), COVID-19 pandemic has seriously hurt Cambodian logistic providers, with 10-15 percent will soon be bankrupt (VietnamPlus, 2020). As stated by the president of CFFA, “the dramatic decrease in buying orders led the traffic of goods and product exports to drop about 70-80 percent. In addition, more than 100 logistics firms have been struggling to survive due to the financial hardship, with an estimated 60 percent fall in revenue” (VietnamPlus, 2020). Logistics companies connect firms to markets by providing many different services, including transportation, freight forwarding, warehousing and inventory management. They play an important role in global manufacturing, which is complex and multilocational. For example, Apple inc. uses the components from more than 200 supplicrs from many different countries (Ross, 2020). ‘L’oday’s global value chain requires uninterrupted flow of goods between and within the countries. These can be achieved by firms outsourcing their logistics functions to third-party logistics service providers.

When AI models and machine learning are fully interconnected in factories with cabling-free 5G wireless networks, firms become “fully digital”. This analysis argues that it is not the initial efficiencies gained by optimizing a plant’s operations but rather a firm’s ability to build a collection of knowledge about each step of its operations, what we call “knowledge synthesis”. This is information about how each product is produced, how the process to produce it is managed and optimized, and the software and systems required. This knowledge is important because it permits firms to exploit network effects based upon connecting plants together or sharing expertise with partners. This greatly expands the potential for economic benefits from the use of AI and 5G. This review explores cases from firms with smart factories that have adopted AI and 5G communications including Moderna, Sanofi, Mercedes, Ford, and VW. It examines how these firms have benefitted from the move to smart factories with 5G communications networks. It also explores how firms have improved their value chains by building smart factories that connect nearly all manufacturing processes to machine learning and AI models that analyze machine and process data rapidly. Next, they take advantage of network effects – due to “knowledge synthesis” that permits early smart factories with 5G networks --to derive even larger benefits inside their production operations and in their supply chains. In both phases, the adoption of 5th Generation wireless in plants ramps up firms’ abilities to interconnect their digital systems. Once the interconnected systems exist, firms exploit network effects to create “knowledge synthesis” or knowledge platforms to consolidate insights gained from optimizing many machines and processes. Using “knowledge synthesis”, firms can also transfer knowledge from one group of equipment to another that is not optimized even when the equipment is in different facilities. This makes firms far more flexible, interoperable, and scalable.

Texto completoResumen
Vibration of the recycle piping system on the Main Oil Line (MOL) Export Pumps from a platform in the North Sea raised concern about pipe breakage due to fatigue. Failures had already occurred in associated small bore piping and the instrument air supply lines and control accessories on the recycle flow control valves. Concern also existed due to the vibration of non-flowing pipe work and systems such as the deck structure, cable trays and other instrumentation, which included fire and gas detection systems. Many changes involving bracing of small bore attachments, stiffening of supports, adding supports and stiffing the deck structure were implemented without resolving the problem. The vibration was finally solved by adding enough pressure stages to assure the valve trim exit velcoities and energy levels were reduced to levels demonstrated historically as needed in severe service applications. This vibration energy reduction was more than 16 times. This was achieved by reducing the valve trim exit velocity from peaks of 74 m/s to 12 m/s (240 ft/s to 40 ft/s).

Texto completoResumen
It is found in many film-cooling experiments and computational analyses that a heated surface is employed to simulate the actual film-cooling condition with a cooling jet and a hot main flow. Considering that the dominant energy passage in turbine airfoil film cooling is always from the hot combustion gas flowing into the airfoil, employing a heated surface to simulate the actual film cooling condition does not provide the correct physics of the heat flow under an actual film cooling condition, and therefore, the results are questionable. The objective of this paper is to investigate the consequent results associated with the practice of employing a heated surface by comparing its result with actual conditions including a conjugate metal wall and internal cooling via a series of computational simulations. When the surface is heated, in some conditions, negative film cooling effectiveness can be found as a result of a higher surface temperature than the main gas stream temperature. This is unrealistic for an operational turbine system. The heated wall acts as an active heat source; as a result, the concept of using the adiabatic wall temperature (Taw) as the driving temperature potential is no longer valid because an artificially created competing heat source is added into the system, and the heat transfer mechanism on the airfoil is not solely determined by Taw. Heating the surface to simulate the film cooling boundary condition, although it does not provide correct physics, can provide the heat transfer coefficient value within 10–15% of the value calculated from the correct boundary conditions. Using a heated surface is only correct under one condition: when all the conditions are reversed, i.e. with a hot jet and cold main gas flow. The practice of using a jet flow with the same temperature of the hot gas (isoenergetic jet) to obtain the film heat transfer coefficient will result in about 20–25% discrepancy from the cooling jet case. The uniformly cooled wall cases fair better than heated cases because it provides correct physics in most part of the surface.

In early design stages, firms need to generate and assess their value propositions. Although both business developers and systems engineers capture customers’ needs to design the value proposition, they suffer from inefficient business and engineering processes interactions. Moreover, they lack methods to elicit the needs in a structured way and to explore the best value propositions. We propose to extend the affordance-based design for systems and services in order support the elicitation and capture of stakeholders’values; and to identify boundaries of the system design problem to explore the best value propositions. Hence, affordances — which describe what system provides to other systems and stakeholders — help to frame the context. Today, affordance-based design is mainly used for artifact design. We propose to extend this approach to systems and services and complement it with a focus on stakeholders’ activities and external systems’ stages. With regard to the different system design perimeters defined by affordances, value propositions are designed. The proposed method is illustrated on an AIRBUS Defence & Space innovative project.

Texto completoResumen
Global value chains (GVCs) provide countries with opportunities to diversify trade, and boost productivity and growth by specializing in one stage of the production process. However, for the most part, Latin America and the Caribbean participation in GVCs remains low (18 percent) compared to Asia (28 percent) and Europe (34 percent). The COVID-19 pandemic, plus concerns regarding protectionism and the more frequent occurrence of natural disasters, have provided incentives for countries and companies to reassess their positions in global value chains. This crisis has taken a huge toll on trade, but it could also be an opportunity to boost regional integration and value chains within the region. Despite the crisis, some firms have performed well, even in those sectors where global demand has fallen, while others have lost market share. This paper analyzes the performance of individual firms, drawing on the study of rich micro data, to understand their different capacity of trade creation and destruction over the crisis. Results suggest five firm characteristics play a key role in explaining export performance during the pandemic: i) firm size, ii) diversification of export markets, iii) importer status of the firm, iv) distance from foreign suppliers, and v) performance of the firms suppliers and customers. The results are then used to outline policies fostering firms participation in global value chains.

Texto completoResumen
There is a general perception that Mexico's insertion in global supply chains has been mostly in assembly operations and that efforts should be made to incorporate additional domestic value in the international production networks in which the country participates. To examine this issue properly one needs to have a measure of the share of domestic value added that is effectively embodied in Mexico's exports. We analyze firm-level data from the IMMEX census which covers all the firms that benefit from the Maquiladora and the PITEX programs. We find that the share of domestic value added as a proportion of the firm's exports has been declining in the last 6 years. We show that the decline is not the result of market share re-allocations; that it persists after controlling for price changes and that is observed across firms of all sizes. The results suggest that more segments of the supply chains are generally not moving into Mexico and that on the contrary there is a trend of falling domestic value added. This result contrasts with that of other countries engaged in similar export processing activities, like China.

Texto completoResumen
Based upon insights of the global value chain literature, the aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of being a supplier firm on labour productivity. The country of analysis is Italy, historically characterized by a very strong division of labour among firms. We make use of a unique database, which collects information on several organizational, structural and performance variables of a representative sample of more than 3000 Italian manufacturing firms, spanning the period 1998-2006. Our econometric investigation confirms predictions coming from the global value chain literature. By and large, our findings indicate that being a “traditional” supplier is associated with lower levels of productivity in comparison with the ones exhibit by final firms. However, supplier firms that both export a significant percentage of their production and carry out product or process innovations (i.e. the subset of suppliers that we name “advanced suppliers” against “traditional suppliers”) display productivity levels not lower (and, actually, higher) than final firms ones.

Texto completoResumen
Since the early nineteenth century, cacao has been an important export earner for Ecuador. Today the importance of this sector remains, as Ecuador is the main producer and exporter of Fine and Flavor cacao worldwide. Motivated by the main transformations of the global food systems and the increasing demand for multidimensional credence attributes, this study examines the present state of Ecuador's cacao industry, identifies areas of opportunity, and discusses how the private and public sectors can work together to meet existing and emerging challenges. Findings are supported by interviews conducted with the principal actors in the Ecuadorian cacao industry and two case studies. The first case study focuses on how associativity can help cacao farmers producing high-quality beans to differentiate themselves and succeed in modern agri-food markets. The second case study explores the success of a local chocolate firm and its links with local cacao farmers. Findings suggest that market trends have created new business opportunities for cacao producers and chocolate processors. These opportunities are most open to firms who can personalize and differentiate their products, for example, through the use of quality certifications such as organic, fair trade, reduced carbon load, etc. More importantly, market developments are driving exporters to enhance the performance of cacao value chains in the country, but the sector requires coordination to capture reputation and credence-based demands for the local cacao.

Texto completoResumen
This study analyzes the firm-level impacts of temporary safeguard import tariffs implemented in Ecuador from 2015 to 2017. Employing a difference-in-differences methodology, we explore the policy's effects on a unique dataset combining firm- and product-level data. We focus on the direct effects on importing firms and indirect effects through the value chain. The analysis shows that, while the safeguards significantly reduced imports, they also resulted in short-run negative scale effects on firms. These include reduced sales, employment, labor costs, and material costs, without positive impacts on local firms in import-competing industries. Overall, our findings suggest a contractionary effect of protectionist policies, particularly in a dollarized economy highlighting the complex implications of trade measures on firm performance and economic sectors.

Increasing productivity is generally considered to be the only sustainable way of improving living standards in the long term. The Brazilian economy has had periods of strong growth, particularly until 2010, but the country has performed poorly in terms of aggregate productivity. The federal government has implemented many programs aimed at boosting firm growth and fostering competitiveness in Brazilian industries, though knowledge about their results to date is scarce. This study provides an overview of various Brazilian programs of firm support — including productive finance, business consulting, value chain, export promotion, and innovation support — as well as an assessment of the effects of a subset of these programs on productivity, employment, and real wages. Access to a unique dataset on Brazilian firms and beneficiaries allowed the Office of Evaluation and Oversight to analyze these programs over an 11-year period, 2002 to 2012.

Texto completoResumen
Argentina has outstanding mineral potential, with substantial amounts of unexplored and unexploited geological resources. Despite this potential, the nonenergy mining sector is still small-scale, representing 0.5 percent of GDP and 3.0 percent of total exports, and is concentrated mainly in a few regions of the country. This document investigates the metal mining value chain in Argentina, in particular the opportunities and challenges that domestic companies find to participate in it. It provides policy recommendations that can help improve the chances of these firms entering and then expanding, growing, and diversifying their clients and markets.

Texto completoResumen
Understanding the drivers of international production fragmentation is an important issue for Latin American and Caribbean countries because participation in global production networks can help mitigate instability due to dependence on natural resources and can provide opportunities for further exports diversification and increased growth. This paper contributes to the literature on global value chains by analyzing two case studies that examine the experience of Colombian firms that have successfully penetrated international markets through participation in global production networks. The stories of these firms are contrasted within the framework of the global value chain literature. A series of policy implications are drafted as a result of this exercise

Texto completoResumen
As part of the Office of Evaluation and Oversight's (OVE) Work Program, OVE will conduct a comparative analysis of the main types of firm productivity enhancement-oriented programs (or productive development programs, PDPs) supported by the IDB Group (or Bank) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region and specifically implemented by Brazilian institutions. Rather than evaluating Bank projects, the evaluation will examine whether and how Bank-supported approaches implemented by Brazilian institutions affect firm level outcomes, with the main indicator being productivity. The assessment will also measure program results on employment, real wages, exports (value-range) and innovation (patents and trademarks registration). The overarching objective of this exercise is to provide insight for future strategic decisions regarding the targeting of Bank support to productive development in the Region.

Aldonas, Grant. Regional Integration behind the Border: Applying a Value Chain Approach. Inter-American Development Bank, julio de 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0011302.
Texto completoResumen
This paper outlines a methodology for assessing the cost of internal and external obstacles affecting the performance of the value chains serving local producers in developing countries as a means of identifying high impact interventions that would contribute to the country's successful integration into regional and global markets. The objective is to create a single measure of the effect of such barriers in order to illustrate the value of examining internal reforms (i.e., those steps essential to regional integration "behind the border") as well as export barriers in developing a regional integration strategy that makes sense in the context of the accelerating integration of global markets. The methodology employed uses tools applied by global firms in assessing their own operations and in making critical sourcing decisions. This paper was presented at Latin America/Caribbean and Asia/Pacific Economics and Business Association (LAEBA)'s 5th Annual Meeting held in Singapore on July 15th, 2009.
