And we need to understand, it's the value chain.

This is jobs and opportunity all the way up and down the value chain.

Since value chains do not focus merely on the physical transformation of inputs within one firm, they offer the possibility of capturing economic returns that can be found in different links in the value chain.

To strengthen the position of SMEs in global value chains, joint action by governments, chain governing key firms, SMEs and multilateral organizations is therefore required.

Linkages, value chains and outward investment

Special attention will be paid to assessing the synergy between cluster development, business linkages and access by SMEs in developing countries to global value chains.

Value chains do not focus solely on processes within one single firm rather, they involve different firms located in various places and linked together in a chain.

Global production networks are increasingly coordinated by key lead firms (mostly buyers) that not only determine which firms form part of the chain but also set the conditions that producers have to fulfil in order to participate in these chains monitor standards and help producers achieve these standards.

SMEs are required to act proactively and to continuously look for opportunities to upgrade their activities, taking into consideration the fact that, since value chains are increasingly coordinated by lead firms, these are the ones that predominantly determine not only which firms participate in the chain but also the scope firms have for their upgrading activities.

The prerequisites for a successful integration into global production and trade value chains will become even more demanding in future.

However, in addition to the increased competitiveness of their firms, importing countries could enjoy additional benefits, for example moving up the value chain to higher value activities or increasing their exports.

Difficulties may arise because the degree of upgrading, especially moving to links adding higher value in the chain (e.g. marketing or design), often depends greatly on the form and degree of chain governance.
