| description | Purpose – This study’s primary objective is to propose actors’ embeddedness as a source for governance and upgrading within the GVC (Global Value Chain) framework.
Design/methodology/approach – This study uses co-word analysis to study the GVC scientific production. The analysis is conducted using controversies mapping from the Theory of Scientific and Technological
Change (TSTC).
Findings – Two theoretical gaps were identified. First, governance and upgrading have more than one definition. Second, value and network are upgrading strategies. This article proposes the use of the
Montenegro and Bulgacov (2014) framework to translate governance and upgrading respectively as network governance and strategic outcomes. Embeddedness matters because it is a stable theoretical
concept (Granovetter, 1985) that can be a link between network governance and strategic results.
Originality/value – The study’s main contribution is to propose relativist embeddedness as a source of governance and upgrading. The second contribution is to present an ANT-based framework to study
governance and its strategic results |
