Wholesalers and retailers make no contribution to product
innovation, but only distribute them, from the point of view
of physical transformation. But considering the level of
employment in absolute and nonpercentage terms, the level
of employment is guaranteed by all three links in the chain in
an almost homogeneous way (only wholesalers contribute
slightly less) (Fig. 8).
Concerning social responsibility and only the parameter of
the level of employment, there is a disparity in the appropriation of added value within these three blocks or links in the
value-added chain. A difference between the revenue generated at similar quantities of employment takes place to the
disadvantage of workers, and the advantage of wholesalers
and retailers. These two last links in the chain, generate much
higher revenues than producers ensuring the same contribution in terms of employment, but with greater benefits to the
other sources of capital, i.e., structural capital, credit capital,
social capital (infrastructural capital), and risk capital.
5 Conclusions and Recommendations
The Responsible Value-Added Analysis demonstrates that
the value chain is not balanced across the battery industry
and between companies. Purchasing power as a component
of individual poverty across the world is based on the ability of BOP consumers to afford basic necessities. Global
poverty is also directly related to employment and wages.
