Results of a Qualitative Analysis -- Conclusion -- Appendices. 330 $aThis study provides an overview of how the Bangladeshi leather value chain is organised and governed. It analyses how the leather processing and leather goods/footwear subsectors are integrated into the global market and to what extent informal arrangements including illicit practices are conducive to global market entry. Power relations are dissected along the value chain, in order to analyse how local producers adapt to upholding competitiveness. The results of the work show the need to devise upgrading strategies which pay heed to the reality of informal dynamics in a global value chain (GVC) to improve the local producers? competitiveness. The GVC perspective was combined with considerations on upgrading, subcontracting, middlemen and informality to adequately analyse the complexity of the transactions in the chain. The data of this study are drawn from empirical field studies in Dhaka, Bangladesh and other sections of the international leather value chain during the time period of 2010 to 2014. A qualitative research approach was complemented with quantitative methods. 410 0$aSpringer Geography,$x2194-315X 606 $aEconomic geography 606 $aHuman geography 606 $aEconomics 606 $aManagement science 606 $aBusiness 606 $aEconomic Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J12000 606 $aHuman Geography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X26000 606 $aEconomics, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W00000 606 $aBusiness and Management, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/500000 615 0$aEconomic geography. 615 0$aHuman geography. 615 0$aEconomics. 615 0$aManagement science. 615 0$aBusiness. 615 14$aEconomic Geography. 615 24$aHuman Geography. 615 24$aEconomics, general. 615 24$aBusiness and Management, general. 676 $a338.47675 700 $aStrasser$b Joseph$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063183 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299422203321 996 $aBangladesh's Leather Industry$92530874 997 $aUNINA
