Abstract

Razvoj digitalne tehnologije korjenito mijenja svijet oko nas, kao takva, postala je
svakodnevna u svim aspektima ljudskog života. U radu je digitalizacija analizirana s aspekta
globalnih lanaca vrijednosti.
Cilj ovoga rada je objasniti važnost i utjecaj digitalne tehnologije na globalne lance
vrijednosti. Točnije, pokazati jesu li se promijenili odnosi zemalja s različitim stupnjem
digitalizacije, odnosno da li je digitalizacija za njih imala pozitivne ili negativne učinke.
Tehnologije Četvrte industrijske revolucije doprinose dogradnji operacija u globalnim
lancima vrijednosti i pomažu podružnicama u funkcionalnoj dogradnji, tj. uključenju u
kompleksnije proizvodne poslove temeljene na znanju. Globalni lanci vrijednosti nastali su
širenjem aktivnosti multinacionalnih kompanija odnosno fragmentacijom procesa
proizvodnje pa se proizvodni proces odvija u većem broju zemalja. To znači da raste značaj
trgovine intermedijarnim proizvodima koji prolaze put kroz nekoliko zemalja od početka
proizvodnje do finalizacije.
Utjecaj digitalizacije će biti puno značajniji u godinama koje su pred nama. Većinu zemalja
EU karakterizira sudjelovanje unatrag, što znači da više uvoze intermedijarnih proizvoda koje
koristi u proizvodnji za izvoz, odnosno da se nalaze među zemljama u kojima se odvijaju
završne faze proizvodnje.

Abstract (english)

The development of digital technology is radically changing the world around us, as such, it
has become everyday in all aspects of human life. The paper analyzes digitalization from the
aspect of global value chains.
The aim of this paper is to explain the importance and impact of digital technology on global
value chains. More precisely, to show whether the relations of countries with different
degrees of digitalization have changed, ie whether digitalization has had positive or negative
effects for them.
The technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution contribute to the upgrading of
operations in global value chains and help subsidiaries in functional upgrading, ie
involvement in more complex knowledge-based manufacturing operations. Global value
chains have been created by expanding the activities of multinational companies, ie by
fragmenting the production process, so the production process takes place in a number of
countries. This means that the importance of trade in intermediate products that pass through
several countries from the beginning of production to finalization is growing.
The impact of digitalisation will be much more significant in the years ahead. Most EU
countries are characterized by backward participation, which means that they import more
intermediate products that they use in production for export, ie that they are among the
countries where the final stages of production take place.
