Commodity Chains - mini class projects
MBAC 5107
Global Production Networks
Using the production network concept, create a map of the commodity showing the geographical network of material, human and value flows. Then examine one or to of the nodes so that you can tell a story that illustrates an interesting way in which the network is organized or how uneven development is reproduced in the network. Your map is not meant to be exhaustive for the purposes of this assignment. Fill in as much as you can and focus on the story that you want to tell about the production network.
You will be asked to give a 5 minute presentation on your network. You should use Prezi to create the presentation, as it is most suited for such network concepts. You can find Prezi here: http://prezi.com/. If you are new to Prezi, there are tutorials on the site. It is fairly intuitive to use and can be quite fun.
