This book contains a collection of studies on the interactions between businesses in Africa and Global Value Chains (GVCs) in terms of social, environmental and economic sustainability. This is particularly pertinent given the asymmetrical power distribution between the global buyer and the African supplier, their governance relationships and the ongoing competitive pressures to reduce costs and increase flexibility to meet GVC demands. Rather than focusing on the sustainability of a single organization, GVCs address the sustainability of inter-firm value chains and global industries as a whole. With little differentiation between value chain creation and social / environmental degradation extending to people and raw material extraction (upstream) and disposal or recycling (downstream), sustainability issues need to be at the forefront of African business research interests. Nowadays, sustainability is considered a competitive advantage for a firm looking to join a GVC. Whether sustainability is approached from the viewpoint of an exporting firm motivated to join a GVC in its respective industry or whether a firm’s continuing contractual or collaborative relationship with a buyer depends on its compliance with sustainability standards, both approaches focus on the ability of firms in Africa to benefit from joining sustainable GVCs.

This book focuses on the most recent advancements in the application of digital and innovative technologies for strengthening health supply chains in Africa. While substantial evidence shows how these digital technologies have helped increase health supply chain visibility, efficiency and performance in developed countries, little is known about the challenges and success to apply, adopt and implement in the African context. Therefore, this book brings together contributions from scholars and professionals to form a compendium of practices, challenges, success/failure factors, impact, and socio-cultural peculiarities associated with the adoption and implementation of new digital technologies in transforming health supply chains in various African countries. It helps readers gain insight into the role of technologies and innovations in health supply chain management, as well as for understanding successful and unsuccessful implementation cases in African countries, and how similar scenarios can be replicated or avoided.The book offers a comprehensive guide for educators, researchers, management professionals, non-governmental organizations, and policymakers on how to effectively drive supply chain digital transformation in Africa’s healthcare system.
