inbound logistics, operations, outbound logistics, marketing and sales, and service. These activities are directly involved in the creation, production, and delivery of the firm&#8217;s product or service.<\/p>\n<p>Support activities, on the other hand, provide the necessary infrastructure and resources to support the primary activities. These include procurement, technology development, human resource management, and firm infrastructure.
