Abstract
Global value chain (GVC) governance theory explains how GVCs are controlled and organised. A large body of research examines how GVC governance varies across industries, however, GVC governance dynamics within industries receive less attention. This study bridges the gap between GVC and international business theories to focus on GVC governance heterogeneity as a source of competitive advantage. Through mixed-methods including grounded theory, structural equation modelling, and comparative case studies, the research reveals the interplay between network-orchestration and network-dependence as lead firms shape GVC governance transitions. Insights can help managers optimise complex GVC governance structures, particularly in the context of digitalisation.
