Abstract

The market is constantly changing and presenting its new trends. As a response, a new wave of value chain structure is arising. Reduction of costs, innovation, and specialization in certain sectors never explored before in emerging economies, seem to be the key to earning the title of “contender” in the modern global market.

Economists1 worldwide consider that nowadays a “blowback” phenomenon marks the beginning of a new profitable way of making business worldwide.
