Secondary source excerpt (global economy—global commodity chains and spatial division of labor, 118 words): A single smartphone reflects a spatial division of labor: cobalt is mined in Central Africa, chips are fabricated in East Asia, specialized camera modules come from Europe, and final assembly occurs in a large industrial city in China. The brand's headquarters in a core country controls patents, product strategy, and advertising, capturing a large share of profit. Suppliers compete for contracts, and components cross borders multiple times before reaching consumers. Disruptions at one node—such as a port strike or semiconductor shortage—can delay production worldwide. Scholars use this example to argue that modern manufacturing is organized through global commodity chains rather than contained within one nation.
Which idea is best illustrated by the excerpt?
