Value Chain Analysis

The limitation of available resources for human beings and the intensification of global competition for
capturing a larger market share by companies emphasize the need for an effective competitive strategy for
every company. The proliferation of businesses and innovative production methods has increased the use
of resources more rapidly and intensified competition among companies to acquire more resources. On
the other hand, companies are seeking ways to create a competitive advantage by reducing production
costs and achieving higher profits (added value) in their production process.
