A global value chain is a series of connected activities—like sourcing, production, distribution, marketing and service—carried out in multiple countries to add value and gain a competitive advantage.
For example, a Canadian clothing brand designs its apparel in Toronto, sources fabric from Turkey, manufactures in Bangladesh, and distributes from a warehouse in Vancouver — each step in this global value chain adds to the product's final cost and value.
