ADVANTAGE、INNOVATION AND BREAKTHROUGH OF CAPTIVE VALUE CHAINS——A CASE STUDY OF SOFTWARE INDUSTRY IN IRELAND AND INDIA
以爱尔兰和印度软件产业为例，分析发展中国家如何通过资源和市场优势及创新，从低附加值环节向高附加值环节攀升，实现俘获型价值链的突破。
In economic globalization,an obvious subordination of developing economies to developed countries in global industry chains has engendered Captive Value Chains(CVC).Upgrading value chains by breaking through the CVC is of significance to developing countries.Taking Ireland and India as examples,the paper analyzed the process of their software industries and discussed the extents of the breakthrough of CVC.Multi-factoral analyses on the competitive advantage and dynamic comparative advantage revealed that the advantages and innovation in resources and market helped the two countries moving up from the low value-added sectors to the high value-added ones in their software industries.The lagging economies might obtain the promotion of competitiveness and upgrading of the industries by means of promoting traditional comparative advantages and formation of new competitive advantages,and this could also be the way to the breakthrough of CVC.
