**What is value in value chain analysis?**<\/p>\n

In the context of value chain analysis, value refers to the worth or importance that a specific activity or process adds to a product or service. It encompasses the perception of customers regarding the benefits derived from various stages of the production and delivery process. Value chain analysis emphasizes the identification and optimization of activities that contribute to creating maximum value for the end customer.<\/p>\n

Value chain analysis is a strategic management tool introduced by Michael Porter in his book “Competitive Advantage.” It involves breaking down an organization’s activities into primary and support activities and analyzing how each contributes to the overall value creation process.<\/p>\n

Value can be viewed from two perspectives in value chain analysis: primary activities and support activities.<\/p>\n

Primary activities encompass the core functions directly involved in producing, distributing, and delivering a product or service to the end customer. These activities include inbound logistics, operations, outbound logistics, marketing and sales, and customer service. Each of these activities adds value to the final product or service.<\/p>\n

Support activities, on the other hand, facilitate the smooth functioning of primary activities and enhance their effectiveness. Examples of support activities include procurement, technology development, human resource management, and firm infrastructure. These activities may not directly contribute to the end product but are essential in generating value throughout the value chain.<\/p>\n
