The article develops an integrated framework that employs a dynamic perspective on interlinked levels of value chain governance in order to explain employment in value chains. It compares two multipolar chains in food and beverage manufacturing, in two different producer and consumer markets, Belgium and Germany. Analysis reveals that varied value capture dynamics in the food and beverage industries underpin distinct employment effects at specific inter‐firm nodes, as well as between labour and product markets. This reveals institutional and product variation explaining firms’ value capture trajectories. However, it also illustrates a concomitant transnational trend of deteriorating working conditions, stemming from overall chain governance.

解释多极价值链中的就业效应：欧洲软饮料和乳制品制造业的跨国研究

本文开发了一个集成框架，该框架对价值链治理的相互关联的层次采用了动态的观点，以便解释价值链中的就业情况。它比较了比利时和德国这两个不同的生产者和消费者市场中食品和饮料制造中的两条多极链。分析表明，在食品和饮料行业，不同的价值获取动态影响了特定公司间节点以及劳动力和产品市场之间不同的就业效应。这揭示了制度和产品的差异，解释了企业的价值获取轨迹。但是，这也说明了由于整体连锁管理而导致的工作条件恶化的跨国趋势。
