May 8, 2024 08:33 PM

In this podcast episode will have a look at the role of market power in global value chains. Competition is a driver for innovation, it increases efficiency and leads to better outcomes for consumers. But what happens to global value chains if competition is lacking? What can be done on a regulatory level to prevent monopolies - or oligopolies? That’s what we want to discuss. Our guest in episode 12 is Pamela Mondliwaa. She is working at the state-owned Industrial Development Corporation in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she is an industrial development planner. This episode is the last in this series. We hope that we provided you with a wide range of topics on how supply chains effect the Global South and all of us. Thank you all for listening.
