Value chain analysis in a context
Value Chain Management involves an in-depth assessment of value drivers in an industry or organisation and has many different commercial applications. Traditionally, Value Chain Management has been applied by strategic functions within an organisation with the aim of identifying and developing competitive advantage.
Once a business understands its source of value creation, it can make informed choices on how and where to grow, manage vertical and horizontal integration, identify the optimal distribution channels and push cost optimisation.
