摘要

研究摘要 在价值链中不道德行为的责任边界不断扩大的背景下,我探讨了企业全球战略与全球价值链(GVC)治理之间的关系。具体而言,我以数字电子产品全球价值链中的钽供应链为重点,开展了一项基于案例的过程研究,对三家钽电容器制造商在面临类似的效率、道德和制度压力时所采取的不同战略对策进行了分析。结合全球价值链和全球战略的相关文献,我发现全球价值链中的结构惯性限制了那些维护而非改变治理结构的战略的有效性,相反,需要各个公司进行战略重组,而公共政策对责任边界的制度化又鼓励了这些公司将责任边界内部化。 管理总结 全球价值链中的不道德行为越来越多地成为企业的责任,而企业却无法直接控制这些行为,这导致企业面临越来越大的压力,需要改变其全球战略,以满足社会和制度的要求。尽管这些方法的有效性受到质疑,但研究的重点还是放在维护价值链结构的战略上。通过研究数码电子产品价值链中的 "冲突矿产 "案例,本研究发现,价值链结构中的固有缺陷(管理者可以识别这些缺陷)要求各个公司实施改变价值链结构的战略,特别是通过增加对发生不道德做法的环节的所有权和控制权,以及鼓励为这些战略增加价值的公共政策。

Responsibility boundaries and the governance of global value chains: The interplay of efficiency, ethical, and institutional pressures in global strategy

Responsibility boundaries and the governance of global value chains: The interplay of efficiency, ethical, and institutional pressures in global strategy

Research Summary

I explore the relationship of firm global strategy and global value chain (GVC) governance, within a context of expanding responsibility boundaries for unethical practices in the value chain. Specifically, focusing on the tantalum supply chain within the digital electronics GVC, I conduct a case-based process study that contextualizes the different strategic responses of three manufacturers of tantalum capacitors when faced with similar efficiency, ethical, and institutional pressures. Integrating the GVC and global strategy literatures, I find that structural inertia in GVCs limits the efficacy of strategies that preserve, rather than alter, the governance structure, instead requiring a strategic restructuring carried out by individual firms, whose internalization of responsibility boundaries is encouraged by the institutionalization of these boundaries through public policy.

Managerial Summary

Unethical practices within global value chains are increasingly becoming the responsibility of firms with no direct control over such practices, leading to growing pressures for firms to alter their global strategies to meet social and institutional demands. Research has focused on strategies that preserve the structure of the value chain, despite questions about the efficacy of these approaches. By looking at the case of “conflict minerals” within the digital electronics value chain, this study finds that inherent flaws in value chain structures, which managers can identify, require individual firms to implement strategies that change the structure of the value chain, specifically by increasing ownership and control over the linkages where unethical practices occur and encouraging public policies that add value to these strategies.
