employee) lists their ‘product’ (resume) to attract
businesses to hire them

27. Porter’s value chain model
 A value chain is a set of activities that a firm operating in a specific industry
performs in order to deliver a valuable product or service for the market.
 It is a set of activities that an organization carries out to create value for its
customers.
 The concept comes from business management and was first described and
popularized by Michael Porter in his 1985 best-seller, Competitive Advantage:
Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance.
 The idea of the value chain is based on the process view of organizations, the
idea of seeing a manufacturing (or service) organization as a system, made up of
subsystems each with inputs, transformation processes and outputs.
 Inputs, transformation processes, and outputs involve the acquisition and
consumption of resources – money, labor, materials, equipment, buildings, land,
administration and management.
 How value chain activities are carried out determines costs and affects profits.

28. Porter’s value chain model cont..

29. Primary Activities Primary activities relate directly to the physical creation,
sale, maintenance and support of a product or service. They consist of the
following:
1) Inbound logistics – These are all the processes related to receiving, storing,
and distributing inputs internally. Your supplier relationships are a key factor in
creating value here.
2) Operations – These are the transformation activities that change inputs into
outputs that are sold to customers. Here, your operational systems create value.
3) Outbound logistics – These activities deliver your product or service to your
customer. These are things like collection, storage, and distribution systems, and
they may be internal or external to your organization.
4) Marketing and sales – These are the processes you use to persuade clients to
purchase from you instead of your competitors. The benefits you offer, and how
well you communicate them, are sources of value here.
5) Service – These are the activities related to maintaining the value of your
product or service to your customers, once it's been purchased.

30. Support Activities These activities support the primary functions above. In our
diagram, the dotted lines show that each support, or secondary, activity can play a
role in each primary activity. For example, procurement supports operations with
certain activities, but it also supports marketing and sales with other activities.
1) Procurement (purchasing) – This is what the organization does to get the
resources it needs to operate. This includes finding vendors and negotiating best
prices.
2) Human resource management – This is how well a company recruits, hires,
trains, motivates, rewards, and retains its workers. People are a significant source of
value, so businesses can create a clear advantage with good HR practices.
3) Technological development – These activities relate to managing and processing
information, as well as protecting a company's knowledge base. Minimizing
information technology costs, staying current with technological advances, and
maintaining technical excellence are sources of value creation.
4) Infrastructure – These are a company's support systems, and the functions that
allow it to maintain daily operations. Accounting, legal, administrative, and general
management are examples of necessary infrastructure that businesses can use to
their advantage.
