Value Chains: Production Upstreamness and Downstreamness Revisited
Measures devised to quantify production upstreamness and downstreamness in value chains have been introduced and used increasingly in recent years. While the constructs embodied in these measures are meaningful, this paper identifies an overlooked implementation problem. Specifically, the algorithms have been applied either as though the underlying data represent flows, or under the assumption ...
متن کاملValue-chains and Mass-Customization
In an e-business world, configuration processes are becoming increasingly distributed. Collecting product information to process it in a centralized configuration system is only feasible in some domains. This short paper argues that in telecommunications, a distributed configuration transaction-oriented process is required. After the theorectical arguments, a particular service management syste...
متن کاملProduction Chains
More advanced technologies demand higher degrees of specialization – and longer chains of production connecting raw inputs to final outputs. Longer production chains are subject to a “weakest link” effect: they are more fragile and more prone to failure. Optimal chain length is determined by the trade-off between the gains to specialization and the higher failure rate associated with longer cha...
متن کاملValue Appropriation and Competition Revisited
One of the foundational questions underlying strategy research relates to identifying characteristics of economic situations that enable value appropriation by firms. Recently, MacDonald & Ryall (2004) presented a coalition game based framework within which the mechanism of value appropriation in competitive situations can be formally modeled and analyzed. They subsequently use their formulatio...
متن کاملValue Chains for nutrition
Currently, close to 1 billion people suffer from hunger and food insecurity, defined as not having enough calories to live a healthy life. While this number is staggering, the number of people with poor access to nutritious foods rich in essential micronutrients—such as fruits and vegetables, meat, fish, dairy products, and biofortified staple foods—is even more daunting. Deficiencies in micron...
