Zusammenfassung
Global value creation connects multinational enterprises (MNEs) with a variety of suppliers from developing countries. Despite the fact that these suppliers are mostly legally independent firms, multinational buyers often put extensive pressure on them (Gereffi et al. 2005). Due to the globalized architecture of value creation, as part of MNEs’ business models, dependencies arise bringing about unintended negative effects for suppliers and workers employed with these suppliers (Barrientos 2013; Scherer/Palazzo 2011, 2007).
