Interest in the topic of governance and interfirm relationships in
the Ethiopian leather and leather products industry was developed
after observing a gap in the literature on value chain research at
the international level and finding only a few empirical studies on
value chains at the local level. Most of the value chain research
conducted throughout the world are either too general or are simply
functionalistic and, thus, fail to address the socio-cultural
context. This study contributes to the literature in several ways:
firstly, the present research suggests that a central focus of
value chain analysis should be the examination of social networks
within local, but also global, value chains, as social relations
might play an important and so far neglected role in the struggle
to participate in the rapidly changing world economy. Secondly, as
a clear departure from mainstream value chain research, this study
makes use of a mixture of value chain and network approaches for
exploring processes and micro-level interactions used by
individuals to construct and maintain networks.
