More DescriptionThis book explores how governments can help firms in developing countries better seize the opportunities created by globalisation and contribute to improving employment opportunities and poverty reduction.More specifically, it analyses how local firms can get involved in global value chains, access distant and more profitable markets and upgrade their capabilities.
