Assignment:

Question : Will the Covid-19 pandemic lead to a fundamental reconfiguration of global value chains?

Further guidance for this question:

- It is crucial that you show that you understand what GVCs are, and how they are different from other forms of multinational business.

- Pick a case industry that has clearly embraced GVC production patterns.

In this case I picked: Consumer Electronics: Smartphone APPLE/SAMSUNG

- The question refers specifically to how GVC structures will be affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. You should search for literature about Covid-19 within the GVC literature and develop an argument as to whether the pandemic will lead to a "fundamental reconfiguration" or not

- both generally and in your case industry.

- Follow all of the "general advice" and "structure advice", and discussed in the writing modules.

General Advice:

All essays must have an argument. it must speak directly to the question.
Essay question relates to the historical development of a contemporary outcome. Good essays must show an awareness of these trends.
Essays must cover a sufficient amount of scholarly literature on the topic. This should involve a minimum of 10 scholarly sources - but remember that the quality of your analysis of these sources is as important as the number of them used. In addition to these scholarly sources you can also use data from industry sources and other reliable non-scholarly sources.
Remember what we discussed in our first writing module: the accuracy of business theory is not the same things as the effectiveness of business strategy. Avoid writing about what firms should and shouldn't do for their own benefit and think about the bigger picture of how businesses are structured and their relationship with social/political context.

Structure Advice:

Include a section addressing the theory (or theories) relevant to the question
Include a section applying this theoretical understanding to your selected industry
Please put references thank you! (preferably harvard style , minimum 10 scholar or journal articles)
