What you need to understand to reason about a domain.
Value creation is the process by which an organization produces useful value for customers, employees, owners or society.
The approach comes from business economics and strategic management, which study value creation as the outcome of economic activity. In 2011, Porter and Kramer’s Creating Shared Value broadened the view to simultaneous benefits for business and society.
Value emerges when resources produce a relevant benefit that stakeholders perceive and recognize. A value chain links activities, costs, capabilities and outcomes. Value for one group can create trade-offs with value for others.
Activities are judged by the relevant benefit they create for stakeholders.
Resources, capabilities and processes are translated into perceived benefit.
Value is assessed through outcomes, costs and affected stakeholder groups.
Value creation directs strategy and innovation towards measurable benefit rather than activity or output alone.
