This Companion provides a review of global value chains (GVCs) and
the megatrends that are shaping them and will continue to reshape
them in deep-set trajectories of change over the next few decades.
Megatrends herald both challenges and opportunities. With the
growing interest among business leaders and researchers in GVCs,
this is a reference work which fills a gap in current literature by
focusing on the new features of GVCs, including the shift of global
purchasing power towards developing economies, the significance of
emerging technologies and data analytics, the increasing tensions
between globalisation and de-globalisation, and the role of
micro-multinationals, start-up entrepreneurs, the public sector and
middle markets in a fast-changing global economy. The early
chapters are essentially intradisciplinary in character, with the
first seeking to explore some historical aspects of GVCs.
Subsequent chapters cover the theory and practice of operations and
supply chain management, emerging supply chain technologies, and
the impact of inter-firm collaboration across sectors and
economies. The final chapters take a more interdisciplinary
approach and examine topics at the interface of GVCs with the
economy, society, culture and politics. This comprehensive handbook
provides a timely analysis of leading-edge global megatrends and
practices in one volume.
This title was first published in 2002: Very little is known on the
Australian underground economy. Only speculation has offered
estimates of its size - around ten per cent of GDP. This book
provides comprehensive research on the topic for Australia,
including the suggestion that the underground economy exhibits
strong fluctuations. The text has three central objectives: to
understand why a suspiciously large amount of currency remains
outstanding and cannot be explained by legitimate transactions
alone. Secondly, to examine factors that motivate individuals to
participate in the underground economy and the consequences they
may have on the business cycle, on the quality of the National
Accounts and on taxation revenue. And finally, to examine whether
households or businesses are contributing most to the underground
economy and whether the new tax system, introduced in July 2000,
will have any impact on underground activities in Australia.
