- Summary:
- "The design of an effective global value chain is a major challenge to company managers of today. Just think of the managerial difficulties in configuring the value chain so that shifting comparative advantages of developed and developing countries are utilized optimally - and at the same time making these geographically dispersed value chain activities work together in concerted action. The book gives a good snapshot of where Danish companies are in this global value chain process."""
