Abstract

This chapter reviews 11 guides for value-chain analysis and development. It compares the guides’ concepts, objectives, and methods and identifies strengths, weaknesses, and gaps.

The chapter is organized as follows: presents the methodology applied in carrying out the review, the following section presents the results of this review, and the final section provides concluding comments.
