4. Offshore Services Value Chain 4 ¹ Vertical Activities- Industry specific: Each industry has its own value chain. Within each of these chains, there are associated services that can be offshored. This diagram captures the industries with the highest demand for offshore services. ² This graphical depiction of vertical activities does not imply value levels. Each industry may include ITO, BPO and advanced activities. Source: CGGC

11. Messages – Future work Need for more finegrained analysis, thus need for more detailed data – reworking of existing data (BEC, IO, trade)… –Collection new data To show importance and impact of GVCs for research and policy Need for scaling up: international comparable work Broad concept requires broad and diverse data; richness of different data sources
