The Importance Of Global Community Chains

Global community chains are interconnected lines through which the distribution of goods and services all over the world. These chains are enhanced and maintained through the individual efforts of nations that collaborate for the benefit of themselves. They relate diplomatically, economically but most importantly for the benefit of trade. However, the community chains are governed by labor rights. These labor rights are set in accordance with the economic standards. These labor standards are restructured for the sake of international products. In the modern era, there has been the expansion of exports in manufacturing products but not in raw materials. With individual countries finding it difficult to compete, there has been the need to sustain

First of all, they make it easier for a product to reach people anywhere they may be on the globe. These chains ensure that a product is at the right place where the demand for it is required meaning that, consumers of a certain product don’t need to travel for very long distance to acquire a product. A good example is that Nike products are sold all over the world but are not manufactured in all those countries. Additionally, these chains help improve the quality of a product. This is due to the ever stiff competition that other producers of the same products may face. Although there are labor rights that govern the distribution of these products, the competition is always there to improve the quality of a product (Bair, 2005). The global chains also provide a link between the developed and the less developed countries. This helps in such a way that the developing countries cope up with certain standards of those countries and apply them to their own. This, as a result, leads to improved quality of labor on a wide geographical region of developing

Some strategies that these chains use may have a good impact on labor standards or a bad one. A firm may deploy a strategy to pay all its labor equally without considering the geographical location they come from. This strategy may not be a good one because of the firm’s distribution. A firm may be having, different branches all over the world and paying them equally may not be fair. For example, a Barclays bank worker working in Europe can’t be paid equally with a worker in Africa. This is because countries have different economies and the best way is to standardize the salary in relation to the standard of living of the respective country. In summary, a country with such a strategy will have bad labor standards. A strategy should always be in favor of the labor force in the geographical area a commodity chain
