Le choc créé par la mondialisation dès le milieu des années 90 a forcé les grands groupes à découpler leurs lieux de production et leurs lieux de commercialisation, à se spécialiser autant par étape de valeur que par industrie.

stage of the value added process
I think that valeur may mean valeur ajoutée (value added) here - and perhaps refers to specialised (components) production on separate sites (or buying in components from dedicated suppliers/plants) rather than everything being done from start to finish under one roof. Reading behind the text, it may be saying that large corporations are increasingly specialising at the top end of the value added process - assembling the components to produce the final products.

This being a cost reduction-driven process - which fits in with the globalisation theme.
