Analyse the Global Production Network (GPN) of a specific product or service. Who benefits most from the structure of this GPN?

Order Description
Your analysis of the GPN should include three main aspects:
– What types of labour go into creating the product or service at the different points in the GPN, and how is this work globally distributed?
– What institutional arrangements best explain the structure of this GPN?
– Is the capture of value evenly distributed throughout the GPN, and if not, who benefits most from its structure?
