This paper illuminates that disarray by presenting a framework which envelops five dimensions every Global Value Chain exhibits. Each of these five dimensions are provided with means of qualification founded in theory. Furthermore, a Global Value Chain case study by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is analysed based on the extent to which it features all the elements of the framework. Through literature research a qualification for the elements which are not featured in the OECD case study is made.
