“…Research on the influence of FDI on host country’s GVC has a long history and is a hot topic (Hsu & Chen, 2009; Yoon & Hur, 2018). Most studies show that FDI promotes GVC participation and GVC upgrading (Callegari et al, 2018; Klein et al, 2016; Moris, 2018; Sekuloska, 2018).…”

In line with previous studies of the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and global value chains (GVCs), this work uses national panel data of 31 countries along the Belt and Road (B&R countries) from 2010 to 2017 to study the impact of Chinese outside foreign direct investment (OFDI) on the GVC positions of B&R countries and examines the threshold effects of infrastructure level and institutional quality on that impact. The results show that the improvement of B&R countries’ GVC positions is related to Chinese OFDI, and Chinese OFDI has significantly positive dynamic effect on improving the GVC positions of B&R countries. Infrastructure level and institutional quality have double threshold effects upon the effect of Chinese OFDI on improving the GVC positions of B&R countries. When infrastructure level successively exceeds the two thresholds, the effect of Chinese OFDI on improving the GVC positions of B&R countries gradually increases, and when institutional quality successively exceeds the two thresholds, the effect of Chinese OFDI on improving the GVC positions of B&R countries gradually decreases. Our study proposes that under the Belt and Road Initiative, to improve the GVC positions of B&R countries, B&R countries should further strengthen their cooperation with China and continue to attract Chinese OFDI. Moreover, to better play the role of Chinese OFDI in enhancing the GVC positions of B&R countries, China should further strengthen the infrastructure connectivity construction with B&R countries and pay attention to the institutional quality of B&R countries when investing in them.

“…As previously showed, the Brazilian pattern of participation in GVCs is characterized by forward linkages as a primary product supplier and low backward linkages. According to Callegari et al ( 2018 ), even though Brazil has been one of the leading destinations of Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) since the 1990s and has imported considerable quantities of high value-added products, the country has been incapable of enhancing the dynamism of the industry and service sectors. By considering the measure of mutual interdependence between markets in value-added terms, the analysis developed in this paper shows that Brazil’s participation in GVCs is more peculiar than what is usually portrayed by GVC indicators, as such participation in GVCs occurs mainly through the mutual dependence of its domestic market and not through its domestic production of goods and services.…”

The global value chain (GVC) literature has recognized the regional linkages of global production sharing while overlooking some regions across the globe. This gap may leave unanswered the question of how South American countries’ regional trade linkages have changed amid the acceleration of globalization. This study, thus, investigates the regional linkages of global production sharing of South America by relying on value-added trade measures. Additionally, we develop a pioneering value-added hubness measure to illustrate the degree of relative market dependence between countries. The findings suggest that intra-regional forward linkages in South America have increased over time, but there are signs of a re-orientation towards Asia. China’s influence extended beyond Asia, and together with the United States, China became an important hub-nation for South America. Brazil appears as a potential regional hub, mainly through its domestic market and not domestic production. Therefore, the study adds to GVC literature with insights about a missing region, reveals signs of changes in the interconnections between regional blocs, and enriches the research on the hub-and-spoke trade systems.

“…Quanto à inovação, segundo a Agenda brasileira para a indústria 4.0 (2019), o Brasil ocupa a 69ª colocação no Índice Global de Inovação e tem apresentado perda de produtividade e competitividade, conforme Figura 3 e Figura 4, decorrentes do modelo socioeconômico, da utilização da regra de ouro para o controle das contas públicas e perdas de investimentos externos da indústria manufatureira nos últimos anos (Pires, 2019;Callegari;Melo;Carvalho, 2018). Nos últimos 3 anos, o governo brasileiro buscou melhorar a economia pela austeridade fiscal, diminuição da burocracia direcionados a certas áreas produtivas de exportação e busca de parcerias externas que, entre outras iniciativas, têm fomentado uma retomada do crescimento econômico do Brasil, conforme apresentado na Figura 5.…”

The innovation of information technologies and production processes has transformed traditional industry by changing its way of thinking, managing and producing, leading to a new level of development. Thus, a new way of teaching engineering and business administration students is needed to prepare for this new reality. The objective of this study is to investigate the ways of industry 4.0 in brazil, especially in the steel sector. a literature review is used to investigate in the literature the main components of industry 4.0, its evolution and the main challenges to respond to current requirements, in order to better prepare students for the new reality. It is adopted as a didactic tool this new scenario that presents important socioeconomic paradigms that can affect both the industrial development of the world and brazil with it. The research results point to a need to update the industry as well as universities in preparing the future manager and engineer for new technologies and their integration in industrial processes. It is concluded that there are still many challenges, as it requires a change of mentality, above all. As in previous revolutions, new production processes, new products, new paradigms and consequently new socioeconomic impacts will emerge.
