Global Value Chain Readiness Assessment
Is your firm ready to take advantage of Global Value Chain (GVC)? To compete in the international business environment, it is important to have the appropriate operational requirements. Evaluate your firm's readiness based on the “3 C's” readiness assessment model simply by answering the three following questions:
- Does your firm have clarity in a strong common vision or business strategy?
- Do you have competitive core competencies which your business can leverage?
- Is your firm able to build compatible, well functioning business relationships?
In the guide entitled Linking In to Global Value Chains | PDF version * (739 KB) a series of evaluation exercises is available to you. When the exercises are completed, you will have a better idea of whether or not your firm is ready to consider competing in the international marketplace.
