亚洲跨国服装制造商正在改变服装行业的全球价值链结构。最近的研究表明，这种一级供应商从事更广泛的职能活动。在许多情况下，这些公司来自所谓的“新兴力量”经济体，特别是“大中华区”和南亚。我们认为，这些跨国亚洲公司可以在塑造全球价值链的地理和组织结构重组方面发挥关键和战略作用。利用二手资料和主要研究，我们说明了这些公司如何管理复杂的国际生产联系，并确保约旦纳入全球服装业。本文件有助于理解这些公司的作用，以及它们的行为如何受到与它们自己的商业战略、它们与买方的联系、它们利用生产和贸易机会同时保持高度全球地点灵活性的能力有关的复杂动态因素的驱动。
Asian trans-national garment manufacturers are transforming the structure of global value chains in the apparel industry. Recent studies show such first tier suppliers undertaking a greater range of functional activities. In many cases, these firms originate from the so-called ‘Rising Power’ economies, particularly ‘Greater China’ and South Asia. We argue that such, transnational, Asian firms can play a pivotal and strategic role in shaping the geography and organisational restructuring of the global value chain. Drawing on secondary sources and primary research we illustrate how such firms manage complex international production linkages, and ensure the incorporation of Jordan into the global garment industry. The paper contributes to the understanding of the role of these firms and how their behaviour is driven by complex dynamics linked to their own business strategies, their linkages with buyers, and their ability to exploit production and trade opportunities while maintaining high levels of global locational flexibility.
