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的跨国研究

本文开发了一个综合框架，该框架对价值链治理的相互关联级别采用动态视角，以解释价值链中的就业。它比较了比利时和德国两个不同的生产者和消费者市场中食品和饮料制造领域的两个多极链。分析表明，食品和饮料行业不同的价值获取动态在特定的公司间节点以及劳动力和产品市场之间形成了不同的就业效应。这揭示了解释公司价值获取轨迹的制度和产品变化。然而，它也说明了一种伴随的跨国趋势，即源于整体链治理的工作条件恶化。
