Persian carpet manufacturing : value chains, governance, and embeddedness

(2016) Persian carpet manufacturing : value chains, governance, and embeddedness. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

In this thesis three regional case studies were analysed to explore coordination mechanisms within the Persian rug industry. Analysis using the Global Value Chain approach highlights value creation through chain governance and network dynamics to coordinate value-added activities. While the GVC approach worked well at accounting for the intra- and inter-regional variation in observed coordination mechanisms, examination of the role of embeddedness of social relations among producers and weavers was also required. Gender and spatial issues were especially important in understand coordination differences across regions.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
