Global Production Network (GPN)

A Global Production Network (GPN) is the system through which companies organize the creation of products across multiple countries. Instead of manufacturing everything in one location, they coordinate activities like mining, manufacturing, assembly, and marketing around the world. This allows firms to optimize costs, access specialized resources, and respond quickly to market demands. GPNs involve complex relationships between suppliers, manufacturers, and distributors across different regions, forming a interconnected web that enables global production and trade efficiency.
