BCIS 401Information Systems for Management Value Chain Models
Physical Value Chain Model • A series of value adding activities connecting a company’s supply side to its demand side • Analysis of the PVC has allowed managers to redesign internal & external Processes to improve efficiency and effectiveness • VCM treats information as a supporting element of the value adding process, not as a source of value itself BCIS 401
Virtual Value Chain Model • VVC exists in the market space • Value-adding process unique to the information world are required to turn raw information into new market space services and products • Creating value in any stage of a VVC involves a sequence of five activities • Gathering, organizing, selecting, synthesizing and distributing information BCIS 401
Mixing the Physical & Virtual • Companies that do business in both the market place and the market space exploit both the PVC and VVC • To be successful these chains must be managed distinctly but in concert • Companies that adopt value-adding information processes generally do so in three stages BCIS 401
Stages of Adoption of Value-Adding Information Process • Visibility • Mirroring Capability • Value matrix BCIS 401
Visibility • Companies acquire an ability to “see” physical operations more effectively through information • Large scale IS used by managers to coordinate activities in their PVC • Foundation laid for a VVC BCIS 401
Mirroring Capability • Companies substitute virtual activities for physical ones • Companies begin to create a parallel value chain in the market space • Establishing space-based relationships allows companies to extract value from the space BCIS 401
Value Matrix • Manager’s draw on information in their VVC to deliver value to customers in new ways • This is accomplished by applying the generic value adding activities to their VVC and thereby exploit the value matrix BCIS 401
