From value chain analysis to global value chain analysis: fresh orange export sector in mediterranean partner countries
Résumé
The present chapter contrasts with other chapters in this book. Rather than an analysis from the subject area of economics, a method that is more aligned with the business management discipline is presented. The chapter begins with a literature review of value chain thinking concepts and a review of past methodological approaches in the SCM literature to value chain analysis, leading to our justification for contributing to the literature with a sectoral level of analysis and combining it with qualitative key informant information to create policy recommendations. Then an overview of the fresh orange sector in the region is described and justification for using MPCs as a context is offered. A broad aim of our chapter is to generate a discussion over how value chain thinking can be used as a tool to inform policy debate.
