The Relationship

Until now the Global Value Chains (GVCs) literature has highlighted the role of lead firms in the greening of GVCs, leaving the role of supplier firms under-theorized. This chapter contributes to this gap in the literature by providing empirical evidence to support the role supplier firms play in environmental upgrading in the context of the apparel industry in Sri Lanka. The findings reveal that an understanding of the process of environmental upgrading remains incomplete if the capabilities and strategic intent of suppliers are not taken into consideration. The role of the lead firm and the capability of the supplier firm cannot collectively ensure upgrading. Capabilities in the supplier base determine the relationship between supplier and buyer (governance), whereas a suppliers' strategic intent allows firms to be more inventive in situations where there is a misfit between resources (knowledge) and ambition. Thus strategic intent, coupled with capabilities, can provide competitive advantage to firms and pave ways toward environmental upgrading.

The Impact

The article assesses the impact of various factors on the growth rate of international trade. Many experts interpreted the cross-border flows of goods decline against the backdrop of a growing global economy as an alarming sign that indicates a slowdown in the processes of globalization. To determine the reasons for the dynamics of international trade, the decompositions of its growth rate were carried out and allowed to single out the effect of the dollar exchange rate, the commodities prices and global value chains on the change in the volume of trade. As a result, it was discovered that the most part of the dynamics of international trade is due to fluctuations in the exchange rate of the dollar and prices for basic commodity groups. The negative contribution of trade within global value chains in 2014 was also revealed. During the investigated period (2000—2014), such a picture was observed only in the crisis periods, which may indicate the beginning of structural changes in the world trade.
