“…Sixthly, an important direction in the implementation of industrial policy in developing countries is resource industrialization, which provides a close strategic relationship between the strategies of leading companies related to the involvement of local natural resources and the socio-economic development of regions. At the same time, the benefit of the state depends on the place in the global value chain from the use of local resources, on the one hand and on the consistency of the national industrial policy with the strategies of specific firms-users of natural resources, which are links in global chains, on the other [98]. Moreover, as practice shows, firms in developing countries themselves initiate modernization processes provoked by ineffective government policies [99].…”

In age of sustainable development, strategic innovations have become the most important factor in the adaptation of national economies to dynamic global changes, encompassing trade and economic relations between the leading and developing countries of the World. At the same time, the task of this study was to reveal the complex and contradictory role of strategic innovations in the development of national economies against the background of the transformation of global value chains (GVCs). Main methods for solving the problem were empirical methods of comparative and structural analysis, as well as econometrics. The study analyzed 44 countries classified by the World Bank in the group of countries with per capita incomes below and above the average, as well as with high income. Results of the calculations made it possible to establish a highly differentiated relationship between the share of products manufactured by foreign companies operating in the host countries, on the one hand, and indicators of the dynamics of foreign direct investment (the number of researchers engaged in R&D, the number of technical specialists involved in research and development (R&D), the cost of research and development in the territory of the host countries), on the other hand. This made it possible to determine the role of strategic innovation in the adaptation of national economies. The established dependencies expand the understanding of the role of strategic innovations in the formation and further development of global value chains and their significance in evolution: from process and product innovations of individual companies to the formation of global innovation ecosystems.

“…He [19] employed the coupling-decoupling-recoupling framework in GPNs to analyze the coupling characteristics of East China and offered policy-oriented suggestions for the redevelopment in East China. Neilson et al (2020) [20] makes empirical analysis on strategic coupling in the Indonesia Coco sector, arguing that Industry outcomes are strongly influenced by Indonesia's position within a set of globally-connected networks and the alignment of national policy with the particular strategies of lead firms within these networks in a process of strategic coupling. The aforementioned scholars have argued that the method of considering dynamic strategic coupling has theoretical superiority in terms of explaining the dynamic aspects of regional economic development in the context of globalization.…”

The recent literature concerning globalizing regional development has placed significant emphasis on the Global Production Network (GPN 2.0). GPN 2.0 in economic geography emphasizes that regional growth is caused by a shift in the strategic coupling mode from a low to high level. In addition, GPN 2.0 regards firm-level value capture trajectories as key analytical object, rather than the interactive relationships among scalar and divergent actors in GPN 1.0. To provide a better understanding of causal linkages between the GPNs and uneven regional development in the background of globalization and to test the applicability of GPN 2.0 analysis framework, the paper analyzed 62 Korean-invested automotive firms in Jiangsu Province, China. In order to explore the value capture trajectories of lead firms in the GPNs, the authors applied K-means clustering method to quantitatively analyze the local supply networks of lead firms from organizational and spatial dimensions. Then, comparisons were made between strategic coupling modes of GPNs and regional development in North and South Jiangsu. This study found obvious similarities within these two regions but obvious differences between them in terms of value capture trajectories. We observed that North Jiangsu is currently in the stage of “structural coupling”, whereas South Jiangsu is in the stage of “functional coupling.” Thus, this article argues that spatial settings such as regional assets and autonomy are key factors influencing uneven economic development. This research may provide a crucial reference for the regional development of Jiangsu, China.

“…In Ghana, the crop employs over 800,000 smallholder families and contributes about 8.2 % to GDP, while in Indonesia, more than 1,400,000 smallholder families make their living from the production of cocoa beans. It also contributes some US$1.2 billion annually to the Indonesian economy [3].…”

Insect attack of produce in storage is a major challenge in postharvest handling and contributes to food waste and loss. Attempts to use synthetic chemicals to control this have generated other health and environmental problems. This study aimed to investigate the potential of pyrolyzed cocoa pod husk as a biopesticide (liquid Smoke (LS)) to protect cocoa beans against storage pests. The study was set up in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five treatments (10%; 20%; 50%; 100 % concentrations of LS and 0 %as control). These were applied to the outer surface of mini jute sacks containing cocoa beans. A GCMS analysis of the LS detected 20 compounds. A repellence test of LS showed a very strong repellence effect, repelling almost 90% of the insect population. The feeding deterrence index also caused a reduction in bean damage from 22% in control to 7.65% for 100% LS-treated beans. Weight loss was reduced from 2.13% in control to 0.11 % in the sample treated with 100% LS. The LS treatment did not cause any significant change in the FFA and pH content of the beans. The organoleptic test also proved that LS treatment did not cause any substantial change in the flavor and overall taste and aroma acceptability. Therefore, the liquid smoke can be used for protecting cocoa beans by spraying on the outer part of jute sacks containing beans.
