Paperback. Condition: New. In his book Competitive Advantage, published in 1985, Michael Porter introduced the concept of the value chain, "a systematic way of examining all activities a firm performs and how they interact, (necessary) for analyzing the sources of competitive advantage." Thinking of a firm as a series of horizontal and vertical linkages forced from out of the shadows the silo mentality within which firms operated and to which business schools subscribed. Unfortunately value chain thinking is still not as pervasive as it needs to be and a silo mentality continues to permeate much of contemporary business culture. Moreover there is a dearth of contemporary literature available on value chains to combat the "silo approach" to business management. The purpose of this book is to help fill that void. The book will include material drawn from the literature on change and systems thinking and organizational design. It will offer perspectives on the global economy, and address issues of sustainability, corporate social responsibility and the link between effective value chain management, competitiveness and profitability.

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Since Michael Porter's book Competitive Advantage introduced the value chain in 1985, it has shaped how businesses think about competitive advantage. But while the world has transformed, the model-and the way it's taught-has largely stood still.Today's organizations still struggle with silo thinking, fragmented decision-making, and a lack of integration across functions and partners. The result Missed opportunities and weakened competitive performance in an increasingly interconnected global economy.Understanding the Dynamics of the Value Chain challenges that status quo.This book introduces a modern, updated conception of the value chain-one that reflects the realities of today's business environment. Drawing on decades of insight and grounded in the idea of 'metanoia,' or a fundamental shift in thinking, it equips readers to move beyond silos and manage value creation holistically.Designed for both professionals and students, this book provides the perspective and tools needed to understand how organizations truly create value-and how to leverage those dynamics for sustained competitive advantage.
