Abstract

The objective of this academic paper is to study the framework of business network development. This includes value chain approach and cluster approach. Both methods could be combined into a solid implementation of business networking. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this idea, two case studies of foreign apparel and clothing in Canada and Netherland are presented as examples, especially the detail on value chain activities. The lesson learnt from these examples could brought about the new direction of ideas, and eventually the proper framework for business networking.
