Welman, Abraham Jacobus Frederik. "The development of an integrated value chain cost reduction methodology." Thesis, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10948/d1012954.
Full textAbstract:
The reason for the existence of any company is to make a profit, which means increasing turnover and keeping costs as low as possible. Optimisation of the Value Chain and Procurement were identified as the two largest contributors when one needs to improve the bottom line of any company. The purpose of this research was to develop an integrated Value Chain and Procurement cost reduction methodology and system specifications for a software solution which captures, tracks and accurately reports the impact of the improvement initiatives. The main research question was structured as follows: What should the specifications of a software solution be that will integrate the cost reduction processes of the Value Chain and of Procurement, in a manner that will ensure maximum sustainable bottom-line savings for companies in the manufacturing or service industries? The objective was to define the key phases in the Value Chain and Procurement cost reduction process and to determine how and where they integrate. It is important to note that according the literature review and the survey, both the Value Chain and Procurement cost reduction processes consist of seven phases. The phases of the Value Chain cost reduction process were: Phase 1: Budget/ABC costing and data analysis; Phase 2: Generate ideas; Phase 3: Evaluate and approve ideas; Phase 4: Implementation planning and approval; Phase 5: Development of project (idea) specific KPI's; Phase 6: Implementation of ideas; Phase 7: Track and report savings. The phases of the Procurement (Strategic Sourcing) cost reduction process were: Phase 1: Team selection/data collection/spend analysis/work plan development Phase 2: Access requirements/internal and external analysis; Phase 3: Develop strategy/shape value proposition; Phase 4: Screen suppliers, issue RFI/P/Q, implementation planning; Phase 5: Conduct commercial event/negotiate/finalise contract; Phase 6: Implement contract; Phase 7: Contract management/track and reporting. The above two cost reduction processes integrate at each phase of the respective processes and should thus be implemented at the same time due to their interdependencies. Based on the findings of the research it was clear that an integrated Value Chain and Procurement cost reduction process alone is not going to solve the cost reduction problems of companies. It is essential for the successful implementation of the integrated cost reduction process to develop skills and knowledgeable resources to implement the integrated cost reduction process, improve collaboration between the Value Chain and Procurement, and to implement a system to track and report performance during implementation. Further research should include how to adapt the current company processes, structures, procedures and systems in order to gain maximum benefit from the implementation of an integrated cost reduction process. The integrated Value Chain and Procurement cost reduction process, supported by a software system, should improve the success of cost reduction projects in companies. It is, however, important to note that the application of the methodology will vary between industries and that service-related industries might put more emphasis on Procurement cost reduction, while the manufacturing industries might place a bigger emphasis on cost reduction in operations. In conclusion, irrespective of the industries, it is evident that this methodology will enhance the cost reduction results previously obtained from similar efforts.

Includes abstract.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 86-91).<br>The wide range of the petroleum industry's products as well as the varied value of these products coupled with the global nature of the petroleum industry presents both challenges and opportunities within the petroleum supply chain. It is along this supply chain that challenges for creating value for the customer exist as well the opportunities for reaching this goal. Value chain analysis methodology has been hailed as being capable to lend itself to process improvement challenges faced along supply chains. To achieve this objective, a case study method was used to collect and analyse data. This dissertation identifies and follows one of the supply chains of a petroleum company operating in South Africa to investigate how value chain analysis can be implemented along its supply chain.

Full textAbstract:
Lean production and Lean philosophy have been developed, studied and implemented over the world since it was know from Toyota Production System. International manufacturers/OEMs have more or less developed their own Lean production systems. Over the years, arising challenges from new technology and internationalization have force the OEMs to understand and evaluate the design of supply chain to support their lean production system, and to manage the SC and compete as a whole against other supply chains. When apply Lean principles to the level of Supply Chain, coordination is an essential element to success. Today, researches have been done on joint efforts on decision making among supply chain actors, and applying Lean tools such as VSM on an extended level, namely a supply chain. Whereas the methods to improve SC coordination when implementing Lean through SC remain undeveloped. By interviewing Lean supply chain experts, experienced personnel in Supply Chain Management, and Lean experts from various organizations, a methodology to identify and visualize the improvement areas in supply chain coordination was designed. The methodology was then tested in a European OEM’s supply chain. Value Stream Mapping, as the base, was adapted to support identification and visualization of improvement areas in supply chain coordination. Several misalignments in the SC coordination were found in the current state, then visualized in current state map and approved by various SC actors. The methodology was then improved according to the process of testing. The purpose of this thesis is to develop a methodology to identify and visualize the improvement areas in (manufacturing) supply chain coordination within a Lean perspective.

Full textAbstract:
Two months of fieldwork was conducted during the summer of 2014 in Nicaragua, through qualitative interviews the aims was to investigate the Value Chain of dried mango and its potential as an alternative income source for livelihood improvements for households in Manzano Uno, Nicaragua. The idea to investigate dried mango in particular originates from a conversation in the spring of 2012 with Ben Orton, co- founder of local NGO Waves of Hope, who considered the idea after witnessing the huge amounts of ripe mango falling to the ground and rutting away during the peak season in Manzano Uno. The research problem in a bigger context is related to the debate on how developing countries, and rural parts in particular, are often excluded from the benefits that come with a globalized market economy, since they often lack the tools to participate or do so on unfavorable terms. The idea of a Value Chain Analysis is to detect where along the production line value is added to a product from raw to finished good. Income Diversification comes in to the investigation and contributes to the conclusion that it would be favorable for livelihood improvements to households in Manzano Uno to diversify income sources, to create more secure and higher quality income. The value chain analysis is mainly based on information provided by Sol Simple, an organic-fruit drying plant in San Ramon, Nicaragua and is one out of two fruit processing enterprises in the country. They have been growing every year and have positive expectations of the future. Dried fruit and mango in particular seems to have good prospects for future demand as export products and one important addition is the sustainable, organic and Fairtrade markets which all enable higher product prices and thereby enable bigger shares to go back to the local producers. The federal incentives in Nicaragua include focus on the foreign investment to the country and quantity secondary education, which is concluded to not always be quality education. The high share of investments and entrepreneurships from foreigners are explained by the high security profile in the country, fertile lands and the lowest minimum wage in the region.

<p><strong>Introduction:</strong> The retail market in the 21<sup>st</sup> century will be determined on how quickly and efficiently the retailer can respond to shifts in consumer demands. Due to the physical environment of the store (store value) and the interaction with the consumer (shopping trip value), the local retail store has the advantage of generating this tangible and intangible information. It is then of importance that this information will be transferred towards the retailer, who has the opportunity to use this information and generate it into outputs that can be used as negoitables; this value creation process is an unique success indicator for creating a value network within retail supply chain.</p><p><strong>Purpose:</strong> The aim of this research is to present an understanding on the value creation process in the grocery retail chain.</p><p><strong>Methodology:</strong> Having an inductive nature, this thesis tried to bring a new understanding on value creation in grocery retail business, by using hermeneutics as a methodology approach. For empirical study, the qualitative approach was used. Data was collected through open-ended interviews with representatives in grocery retail chains.</p><p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The main players in the value network were determined in a grocery retail chain as retailer, local retail store and other stores in the chain; and the suppliers. An intensive value exchange between the retail store and the retailer was found and following that, it was concluded that the retailer converts the value input from the local retail store into tangible and intangible value outputs towards suppliers. Combining the conclusions, the research defines that a value network is existing, but on a very low level. But more to the point, the study shows the importance of value creation by the retail chain, and that creating the possibility to share information about products, in-store experience, consumer knowledge, and consumer requirements is one of the biggest advantage the grocery retail chain has to develop this value network further.</p><p> </p>

Full textAbstract:
Research show that customer patterns in the textile industry are changing and the degree of personalization of products is getting more important to meet personal needs and preferences. Mass customization is a strategy named to create higher customer value by customizing products through a close interaction during the design and production process, high production flexibility and efficient logistics. The lack of research on the implementation of mass customization strategies and an identified gap between customer expectations and perception (customer value) of these types of products, are the incentives to conduct this research. The thesis has the purpose of identifying the drivers of customer value of mass customized garments and assess the value chain of the company Brohall & Son from a perspective of mass customization as a strategy, and from the results draw conclusions of customer value aligned with the implementation mass customization strategies. In order to perform the research a quantitative approach, doing a customer value analysis through a self-completion questionnaire, was conducted. Attributes of price, quality, fit, service and delivery capacity were investigated to get an understanding of what drives value for the customers. In addition a qualitative method was used, doing interviews with the CEO of Brohall & Son to gain a deeper understanding of their operations and value chain. The results show that quality, fit, delivery capacity and service are the most important attributes of customer value. Price is the least important attribute and also the least correlated/dependent variable to the rest of the attributes, showing a high willingness to pay for the garments. The analysis of the value chain indicates some areas of improvements regarding logistics, design process and production process. Solutions are brought up to get the value chain to get more aligned with the strategies of mass customization.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2014.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Rapid urbanisation, coupled with growing per capita incomes and a rapid rising middle class, is triggering rapid growth in urban food markets. Despite these opportunities, agriculture in South Africa is confronted with diminishing profit margins due to direct production cost increasing at rates above the revenue generated from agricultural products. This research assignment has aimed to define the attributes of an effective agricultural value chain in South Africa, given the challenges faced. To achieve this goal, the research focus was on the results of an in-depth analysis of the Dutoit Group’s deciduous fruit value chain.
To be able to perform a value chain analysis it is of utmost importance to first understand the meaning of the concepts as well as their origin and the evolution of their application. This is achieved through a comprehensive study of literature. Three value chain analysis tools were used for the research. These tools were an industry analysis, value chain maps and benchmarking. Through the literature review the importance and relevance of these three tools were also explored and reasons provided why they can be regarded to be adequate for a proper in-depth analysis.
An overview of the Dutoit Group’s history, focusing on the specific key events influencing the evolution of their value chains, is also discussed together with their business philosophy, business model and main accomplishments. This is done to provide context to the environment in which the value chain analysis process was performed.
The main focus of the fourth chapter is the application of the three value chain analysis tools on the Dutoit Group’s deciduous fruit value chain, utilising primary and secondary data collected through interviews with specific value chain actors, observations, management information and literature obtained from the public domain. Through the application of the three value chain analysis tools the effectiveness of the Dutoit Group’s deciduous fruit value chain was evaluated, and strengths and weaknesses identified.
The research results showed that the Dutoit Group’s internal deciduous fruit value chain has been effective in addressing the risk of diminishing profit margins. In addition the results showed that the key attributes of an effective value chain which are able to address the current challenges are defined as effective integration, strong relationships between value chain actors, high levels of productivity and strong leadership.

Thesis (MBA) -- Stellenbosch University, 2007.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The study was motivated by the widely reported problem of poor financial
management within South African local government and, more specifically,
the deteriorating status of revenue management, especially in medium to
smaller municipalities. The reasons for the alleged poor financial management
are complex and involve issues of management capacity, inappropriate
systems, and socio-economic circumstances. It is obvious that a holistic
approach will be required to address such a multi-ciimensional problem.
This research proposes to suggest solutions to the revenue management
problems facing South African municipalities. If this issue is not resolved
urgently, local government will impede service delivery rather than improve it.
Service delivery is key to the integration of South Africa's first economy into a
second economy.
The specific objectives of the research are; firstly, to develop a revenue
management value chain model specific for municipalities; and, secondly, to
conduct an analysis of the Lukhanji Local Municipality's financial status
against the value chain model. To attain the objectives of this study existing
literature and the scope of the problem must first be examined and
understood.
It is evident that the prevailing revenue management problem experienced, lie
with the local government themselves in terms of their inadequate financial
management. These problems have placed Significant pressure on
municipalities' cash flows and eroded their financial resources. In turn, this
has resulted in questionable sustainability and financial via bility, as the
problematic cash position of municipalities has impacted negatively on their
capital and maintenance expenditure. One of the greatest challenges facing
local government is the collection of revenue raised for services rendered to
various consumers. Of the various actions taken by government to address
the current crisis situation in municipalities in the short to medium term,
national grants to sponsor capital projects and services have been key in

ensuring that the decrease in municipal expenditure has not been greater,
preventing the potentially disastrous consequences.
The Municipal Finance Management Act, together with the Municipal
Structures Act, Municipal Systems Act; and also the Constitution provide a
well -defined financial framework within which local government can function.
The research also reviewed all four main revenue sources of local
government, namely own revenue {utility fees and property tax}; subsidies
through intergovernmental transfers; loans; and private-sector equity. Despite
the improvement in intergovernmental transfers, it is important that all
municipalities maximise their own revenue, while considering those that
cannot afford basic services.
The research proposes the following revenue management value chain
model, specifically for South African municipalities:

In the analYSis of the Lukhanji Local Municipality's financial status against the
value chain model, it became evident that problems existed in all elements of
the value chain. General financial and viability assessments supported the
above finding and indicated financial difficulties and serious cash-flow
problems.
The research present several recommendations regarding the improvement of
poor financial management in South African municipalities and the Lukhanji
Local Municipality. However, in brief, urgent attention is required in terms of
the Lukhanji Local Municipality's cash-flow in the short term, while a
performance-driven culture needs to be developed in the long term.
Lastly, local government in general, and the Lukhanji Local Municipality
specifically, will succeed in improving their revenue management if they
harness the collective will and skills of all the stakeholders involved in the
provision of services.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die studie spruit voort uit die negatiewe publisiteit oor die probleem van swak
finansi~le bestuur in plaaslike regering en, meer spesifiek, die verslegtende
stand van inkomstebestuur, veral in mid del slag- tot klein munisipaliteite. Die
redes is ingewikkeld en behels probleme met bestuursvermo~, onvanpaste
stelsels, 'n kultuur van nie-hetaling, en sosio-ekonomiese omstandighede. 'n
Holistiese benadering is ooglopend nadig om die vee/dimensionele probleem
op te los.
Die doel van die navorsing is om by te dra tot die vind van oplossings vi r die
inkomstebestuursprobleme wat munisipaliteite in die gesig staar. Indien die
situasie nie dringend omgekeer word nie, bestaan die gevaar dat ons
munisipaliteite in bankrotskap gebring kan word , wat beteken dat hulle nie hul
grondwetlike verpligting sal kan nakom nie en dat hulle dienslewering sal
belemmer en dit verbeter nie. Goeie dienslewering is die sleutel vir die
integrasie van Suid Afrika se eerste ekonomie met die tweede ekonomie.
Die doelwitte van die navorsing is; eerstens, om 'n spesifieke
inkomstebestuurs-waardekettingmodel vir munisipaliteite te ontwikkel; en
meedens, om Lukhanji Plaaslike Munisipaliteit se finansiele status teen die
model te meet. Om die doelwitte te bereik moet die probleem vestaan word
deur bestaande literatuur te bestudeer .
Oit is duidelik dat die heersende inkomstebestuurs probleme h§ by die
plaaslike regering in terme van hul onvoldoende finansiele bestuur. Die
probleme het geweldige druk op munisipaliteite se kontantvloei gesit en
sodoende hul hulpbronne gedreineer. Oit het 'n vraagteken geplaas op die
volhoubaarheid en finansiele lewensvatbaarheid van munisipaliteite as gevolg
van die kontant probleme se negatiewe impak op die kapitale en
instandhouding bestedings. Een van die grootste uitdagings waarvoor
plaaslike regering te staan kom, is die invordering van inkomste wat gehef
word vir dienste wat aan verskeie verbruikers gelewer word . As dit nie vir die
Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za
vii
nation ale tussenregeringsoordragte, vir beide dienslewering en kapitaal
projekte was nie, sou munisipaliteite met baie erger probleme gesit het.
Die Wet op die Bestuur van Munisipale Finansies, tesame met die Wet op
Munisipale Strukture; die Wet op Munisipale Stelsels; asook die Grondwet
verskaf 'n goed omskrewe finansif!le raamwerk binne plaaslike regering.
Die studie behandel die vier vernaamste inkomstebronne van plaaslike
regering, wat eie inkomste (utiliteitsgelde en eiendomsbelasting), subsidies
deur tussenregeringsoordragte, lenings en privaatsektor-ekwiteit insluit. Ten
spyte van die verbetering van tussenregeringsoordragte vir sommige
jurisdiksies, is dit belangrik dat aile munisipaliteite huJ eie inkomste
maksimeer, met die fokus op diegene wat wei basiese dienste kan bekostig.
Die navorsing doen die volgende inkomstebestuurs-waardekettingmodel
spesifiek vir munisipaliteite aan die hand:
Inkomstebeplanning

wendes vasstelling
C. Metenesing

Kredietbeheer
Verliesbestuur
By die ontleding van die Lukhanji Plaaslike Munisipaliteit se finansiele status
teenoor die waardekettingmodel het dit duidel ik geblyk dat probleme in al die
elemente van die waardeketting bestaan. Die algemene finansiele ontleding
en finansiele lewensvatbaarheidsmodel ondersteun die bostaande bevindinge
en toon dat die Munisipaliteit in ernstige finansiele moeilikheid verkeer.
Die navorsing sluit verskeie onderling velWante aanbevelings oor die
verbetering van swak finansieJe bestuur in Suid Afrikaanse munisipaliteite en
die Lukhanji PlaasJike Munisipaliteit in. Die Munisipaliteit se kontantvloei het
veral dringende aandag nodig in die korttermyn, terwyl die Munisipaliteit 'n
kultuur van prestasiebestuur in the langtermyn moet ontwikkel.
Plaaslike regering oor die algemeen en die Lukhanji Plaaslike Munisipaliteit in
die besonder sal net in hul inkomstebestuur slaag as hulle die gesamentlike
wil en vermof!ns van al die belanghebbendes wat by die verskaffing van
dienste betrokke is, kan aanwend.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to investigate how local farmers of sunflower and local processors of sunflower oil in Babati, Tanzania perceive constraints and possibilities to value chain upgrading by conducting a case study. Open-ended interviews were conducted during a period of eight weeks with local sunflower farmers, local sunflower processors and other actors with knowledge of the sunflower value chain. The results from the study show that the main constraints perceived by farmers were lack of capital and incentive to buy new seeds, lack of knowledge of how to re-plant old seeds, their lack of bargaining position and market knowledge which together put restrains on their market access. The main constraints, perceived by local processors, were lack of access to credit, lack of market access with regard to sunflower cakes, a bi-product of sunflower oil production, and a shortage of sunflower seeds on the local market. With regard to the shortage of seeds produced in the area this was discussed further with the respondents as it seems to be connected with actors need for diversification as a form of risk aversion. The main upgrading options as perceived by farmers were value addition by also processing and selling the sunflower oil and different forms of horizontal integration. The main upgrading option perceived by local processors of sunflower oil was an insourcing of the labelling and packaging of sunflower oil which would create access to higher value markets.

Dans cette thèse, on propose une approche holistique pour l’analyse, la modélisation et l’optimisation des performances de la chaîne de valeur pour le traitement des avions en fin de vie (FdV). Les recherches réalisées ont débouché sur onze importantes contributions. Dans la première contribution, on traite du contexte, de la complexité, de la diversité et des défis du recyclage d’avions en FdV. La seconde contribution traite du problème de la prédiction du nombre de retraits d’avions et propose une approche intégrée pour l’estimation de ce nombre de retraits. Le troisième et le quatrième articles visent à identifier les parties prenantes, les valeurs perçues par chaque partenaire et indiquent comment cette valeur peut affecter les décisions au stade de la conception. Les considérations relatives à la conception et à la fabrication ont donné lieu à quatre contributions importantes. La cinquième contribution traite des défis et opportunités pouvant résulter de l’application des concepts de la chaîne logistique verte, pour les manufacturiers d’avions. Dans la sixième contribution, un outil d’aide à la décision a été développé pour choisir la stratégie verte qui optimise les performances globales de de toute la chaîne de valeur en tenant compte des priorités et contraintes de chaque partenaire. Dans la septième contribution, un modèle mathématique est proposé pour analyser le choix stratégique des manufacturiers en réponse aux directives en matière de FdV de produits comme le résultat des interactions des compétiteurs dans le marché. La huitième contribution porte sur les travaux réalisés dans le cadre d’un stage chez le constructeur d’avions, Bombardier. Cette dernière traite de l’apport de « l’analyse du cycle de vie » au stade de la conception d’avions. La neuvième contribution introduit une méthodologie d’analyse de la chaîne de valeur dans un contexte de développement durable. Finalement, les dixième et onzième contributions proposent une approche holistique pour le traitement des avions en FdV en intégrant les concepts du « lean », du développement durable et des contraintes et opportunités inhérentes à la mondialisation des affaires. Un modèle d’optimisation intégrant les modèles d’affaires, les stratégies de désassemblage et les structures du réseau qui influencent l’efficacité, la stabilité et l’agilité du réseau de récupération est proposé. Les données requises pour exploiter le modèle sont indiquées dans l’article. Mots-clés: Fin de vie des avions, analyse de la chaîne de valeurs, développement durable, intervenants.<br>The number of aircrafts at the end of life (EOL) is continuously increasing. Dealing with retired aircrafts considering the environmental, social and economic impacts is becoming an emerging problem in the aviation industry in near future. This thesis seeks to develop a holistic approach in order to analyze the value chain of EOL aircraft treatment in the context of sustainable development. The performed researches have led to eleven main contributions. In the first contribution, the complexity and diversity of the EOL aircraft recycling including the challenges and problem context are discussed. The second contribution addresses the challenges for estimation of retired aircrafts and proposes an integrated approach for prediction of EOL aircrafts. The third and fourth contributions aim to identify the players involved in EOL recycling context, values perceived by different shareholders and formulate that how such value can affect design decisions. Design stage consideration and manufacture’s issues are discussed and have led to four main contributions. The fifth contribution addresses the opportunities and challenges of applying green supply chain for aircraft manufacturers. In the sixth contribution, a decision tool is developed to aid manufactures in early stage of design for their green strategy choices. In the seventh contribution, a mathematical model is developed in order to analyze the strategic choice of manufacturers in response to EOL directives as the result of the interaction of competitors in the market. An internship project has been also performed in Bombardier and led to the eighth contribution, which addresses life cycle approach and incorporating the sustainability in early stage of design of aircraft. The ninth contribution introduces a methodology for analyzing the value chain in the context of sustainable development. Finally, the tenth and eleventh contributions propose a holistic approach to EOL aircraft treatment considering lean principals, sustainable development, and global business environment. An optimization model is developed to support decision making in both strategic and managerial level. The analytical approaches, decision tools and step by step guidelines proposed in this thesis will aid decision makers to identify appropriate strategies for the EOL aircraft treatment in the sustainable development context. Keywords: End of life aircraft, value chain analysis, sustainable development, stakeholders.

Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2008.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 28-29).<br>We explore the photovoltaic value chain for 1st generation crystalline silicon, 2nd generation thin film and 3rd generation organic/ dye-sensitized PV in an effort to evaluate two levels of policy options intended to create new jobs and develop Massachusetts as a renewable energy hub. The primary option is whether to focus on bringing jobs in manufacturing, R&D or installation to the state. Once the state decides on the type of job or mix of jobs desired, then the state can explore which technology is most likely to accomplish this goal. To evaluate each option we begin with an overview of solar industry in Massachusetts and then break down each generation into processing steps from manufacturing to installation. By defining a value chain for each PV generation, we are able understand which portion of the value chain may be important for developing a renewable energy hub. We find that the state's goals in developing a solar hub need to be more clearly defined before we can select the best policy option. Further research must also detail employment intensity at each value chain step. Once employment intensity and specific state goals are understood, each policy objectives can be reevaluated.<br>by Ryan Dean.<br>S.B.

Full textAbstract:
The African continent possesses a wealth of natural mineral resources. Arguments have been put forward that these natural mineral resources can be one of the potential solutions to unlocking the challenge of underdevelopment and pervasive poverty in many African countries. Understanding how African countries can gain greater benefit from these mineral resources was the emphasis of this dissertation. Focus was placed specifically on the Mozambique natural gas sector. A case study methodology was employed with the purpose of determining whether Mozambique could gain greater participation in its natural gas value chain. Empirical and theoretical literature around mineral resources management including leading theories such as the resource curse were reviewed as key points of departure. A detailed analysis of historic natural gas projects executed in Mozambique, the legislative framework, contracts, and institutional and capacity demands then followed as a core part of the analysis. Finally, the study leaned on in-depth interviews with industry experts to understand the legal, policy, and technical barriers that could hinder Mozambique from gaining greater participation in the natural gas value chain. Key findings of the study pointed to the inadequacies of existing laws and contract provisions to deliver the vision of greater participation, barriers to entry such as high upfront capital requirements, and internal institutional and technical capacity gaps exemplified by the reliance on external technical assistance from partners such the World Bank. The study concluded that greater participation in the natural gas value chain could not be achieved through Mozambique legislating its way into upstream and midstream activities alone, rather, a progressive approach to gain greater participation was required, initially starting with increased participation in downstream activities through domestic gas to unlock industrialisation.

Full textAbstract:
The first paper examines the value of a statistical life (VSL) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) victims. We found VSL values to be higher for OHCA victims than for people who die in road traffic accidents and a lower-bound estimate of VSL for OHCA would be in the range of 20 to 30 million Swedish crowns (SEK). The second paper concerns hypothetical bias in contingent valuation (CV) studies. We investigate the link between the determinants and empirical treatment of uncertainty through certainty calibration and find that the higher the confidence of the respondents the more we can trust that stated WTP is correlated to actual WTP. The third paper investigates the performance of two communication aids (a flexible community analogy and an array of dots) in valuing mortality risk reductions for OHCA. The results do not support the prediction of expected utility theory, i.e. that WTP for a mortality risk reduction increases with the amount of risk reduction (weak scope sensitivity), for any of the communication aids. The fourth paper presents a cost-benefit analysis to evaluate the effects of dual dispatch defibrillation by ambulance and fire services in the County of Stockholm. The intervention had positive economic effects, yielding a benefit-cost ratio of 36, a cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) of € 13 000 and the cost per saved life was € 60 000. The fifth paper explores how different response times from OHCA to defibrillation affect patients’ survival rates by using geographic information systems (GIS). The model predicted a baseline survival rate of 3.9% and reducing the ambulance response time by 1 minute increased survival to 4.6%. The sixth paper analyzes demographic determinants of incident experience and risk perception, and the relationship between the two, for eight different risk domains. Males and highly educated respondents perceive their risks lower than what is expected compared to actual incident experience.

Full textAbstract:
These days, it is hard to discuss innovation and the creative economy without mentioning platforms, which have become core strategy for dominating the market. An accurate understanding of platform business is a key factor in being a successful platform provider, so discussions of platform strategies need to be invigorated, value chains need to be analysed, and theoretical factors need to be seriously considered. Corporations are yearning for new innovations and worry about the absence of an efficient and sustainable growth model. First, this thesis analyses how the value chain and value stream are changed in the platform business model in order to explore value chains and value streams in the two-sided market, which has a distinct group of users on both sides. It proposes three types of platform business strategy which will serve as a frame of reference for analysing the impact of the different value chains on platform businesses. Second, this thesis indicates how a step-by-step business strategy based on the perspective of dynamic approach could be constructed. This research identifies four major stages of platform business (entry stage, growth stage, expansion stage, and maturity stage), and different core elements and strategies exist for each stage. These serve as the conceptual frameworks with which to build a platform business model. The key contributions of this research are as follows. Firstly, the main differences and features of the literature reviewed were suggested with collective action and strategic choice perspectives from different academic approaches. Secondly, this study extends the understanding of the value chain that was the critical strategic element of a corporation in the platform business. Thirdly, this research presents the core elements and strategies for each of the four major growth stages of platform business with the dynamic approach, depending on the distinctive features of the contents and platforms.

Full textAbstract:
This study is an analysis of social differences in the value chain of small scale artisanal miners in the Shurugwi area in Zimbabwe. Artisanal mining drives the economy of several developing nations including Zimbabwe. However, the different actors in the value chain of the sector play different roles and the power they yield in the process affects what they get in the process and this in turn creates social differentiation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to identify factors which influence inequalities (social differences) within the Shurugwi artisanal mining value chain. This was a qualitative case study where purposive sampling was used to come up with a sample of 20 gold miners, 8 buyers and 2 millers who operated in the Shurugwi area. Data was collected through interviews and analysis of data was done thematically. This study established that elite players in the gold mining value chain in Shurugwi District, derived most of the benefits while artisanal miners were confined to a life of perpetual poverty, which was a vicious circle and had become hereditary, with sons of miners following the livelihood paths of their fathers. The elite players on the other hand, were presented as sophisticated and although they were mostly not directly involved in the gold extraction activities, they reaped most of the rewards, either as owners of gold claims (who employed others to prospect for gold) or through cheap purchase and processing activities. The study recommends that clear guidelines, guiding the operations of small scale mining activities in the country be collaboratively formulated and implemented to evenly spread the benefits of small scale gold mining activities through the value chain. This research suggests that similar researches be carried out in other small scale gold mining areas in the country so that a more holistic picture of the nature of interactions in the small scale gold mining sector value chain can be grasped. Thereafter, appropriate intervention strategies can then be crafted to manage the nature of these interactions and the resultant social stratifications.<br>Dissertation (MA (Development Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2020.<br>Anthropology and Archaeology<br>MA (Development Studies)<br>Unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M.Sc. (Agricultural Economics)) -- University of Limpopo, 2015<br>Food insecurity and hunger problems have received considerable attention in recent years from research experts and governments worldwide. The most important nutrients in food security are proteins, especially animal proteins. Previous studies have indicated that poultry production is the strategic source of animal protein because of its fecundity, fast growth rate and short generation interval. The poultry production sector consists of broiler and layers subsector. In South Africa, broiler production is practised by both large-scale and smallholder farmers; with the former dominating the retail and urban markets. Smallholder broiler farmers on the other hand, produce for local individuals and do not have access to high value chain markets. There are several studies on broiler value chain countrywide and on broiler resource-use efficiency in many developing countries. However, most researchers have not focused on smallholder broiler farmers despite the fact that they provide cheaper broiler meat to the majority of low income rural populations. Thus, this study analysed the broiler value chain and socio-economic factors that contribute to resource-use efficiency of smallholder broiler farmers in general in the Capricorn District of Limpopo Province.
Stochastic Frontier Production Function was used to identify the socio-economic characteristics that contribute to broiler production and to determine the level of resource-use efficiency by smallholder farmers. Value chain analysis (VCA) was used to identify value chain actors and the position of smallholder broiler farmers along the value chain.
Descriptive statistic results revealed that most smallholder broiler farmers are mostly female (79%) and more than 65 % are over the age of 31. The broiler input cost analysis indicated that feed cost contributed the highest expenditure (60%) in smallholder broiler production. Socio-economic factors such as educational level, experience in broiler production, access to credit, gender, access to transport, and age, were significant at different levels and therefore affect broiler production by smallholder farmers. The study also found that farmers in the study area were underutilising their resources with resource-use efficiency varying from 97% to 8%. Several constraints that
v
prevent smallholder broiler farmers from accessing the high value chain markets were identified.
On the basis of the findings, it is recommended in this study that efforts be made to incentivise younger and energetic farmers to participate in broiler farming, government and the private sector should invest in research in order to establish alternative cheaper feeds to help reduce overall production costs, and the need for improved access to credit in order to enhance the working capital of farmers. Furthermore, the establishment of information sharing marketing cooperatives, slaughtering, processing and packaging facilities for smallholder broiler farmers in the study area will improve access to high value chain markets.

Global value chain (GVC) participation has been placed on a high level policy agenda by Development Partners as a prescription template for agri-business growth and competitiveness of developing countries, especially sub-Saharan Africa. Despite, the GVC participation popularity in application, there is an intense debate questioning why some countries are advancing in the global marketplace, while others are failing to do so. Actors' (entrepreneur's) behavior has been highlighted by the value chain fraternity researchers as an area of interest to investigate this phenomenon. The purpose of this research was to contribute to the understanding of the link between the entrepreneur behavior and better enhanced competitiveness in GVC, and as such offer some key insights into the emerging GVC theory. Case Study Approach was the major research strategy complemented by the Survey. Polar types of Ugandan commercial sugarcane and forestry farmers were selected, namely high and low performing entrepreneurs. Principal unit of analysis was the entire value chain, analyzed at three levels: Micro (Farm Enterprises), Meso (Farmer/Miller) and Macro (National Policies & Regulatory Environment). Principal component analysis was run for purposes of grouping items. Empirical data was analyzed using within case analysis, and cross-case pattern analysis. Theoretically and policy practice this study has brought into insight new research frontiers: (1) The finding of internality behavior demonstrates that entrepreneur's traits, characteristics and actions are basically behaviors that can be learnt, nurtured, and developed into a business culture, competencies and capabilities for enterprise growth, productivity and competitiveness. Therefore, policy program designs should focus on igniting these behaviors which are already embedded in the minds of the entrepreneurs, and then supporting the strengthening of such behavioral changes for entrepreneurs to effectively participate in GVC in developing economies. (2) Institutional quality defined by the set of rules of the game with the associated governance power matters with respect to equitable wealth distribution and ultimately competitiveness. Findings of this study are being used to inform both the drafting of the National Sugar Bill 'Draft Uganda Sugar Act 2015' and improvement of the regulatory environment of Uganda's Forestry Industry Sector.

Multiplier analysis is used in conjunction with the provincial social accounting matrix to determine the knock on effects of increased beneficiation, exploring the relevant impact of backward linkages. The multipliers created by both direct and indirect stimulation in the downstream industries are examined and the impacts of beneficiation on economic and welfare indicators are assessed. The key findings of the study are that the net effect on regional production is more than double the value of the initial stimulation for each of the considered sectors in the value chain. Moreover, job creation becomes evident when demand increases and that much of this employment go to the previously disadvantaged. There are however relevant drawbacks in terms of constrained electricity supply and significant leakages created by imports

In this study, value of demand information and the importance of option contracts are investigated for a supply chain consisting of a buyer and two suppliers in a single period setting. One supplier is cheap but prone to disruptions whereas the other one is perfectly reliable but expensive. At the beginning of the period, buyer orders from the unreliable supplier and reserves from the reliable supplier through a contract that gives buyer an option to use reserved units after getting disruption information of first supplier. We introduce three models which differ in terms of the level of information available when the ordering decisions are made. In the full information model, the options are exercised after getting disruption and demand information<br>in the partial information model, the options are exercised after getting disruption information before demand information. In the no information model, there is no options contract and units are ordered from the reliable supplier when buyer has no information about demand and disruption. Through the analysis of these models, we explore the value of advance demand and disruption information in the presence of an options contract.

Tendo como base o conhecimento tecnológico sobre as soluções actuais de Digital Signage, o trabalho levado a cabo visa perceber em que grau o seu planeamento e instalação pelos clientes institucionais cobre as necessidades dos seus utentes, ou clientes finais, criando assim uma cadeia de valor com sustentabilidade ao nível do custo benefício. Uma cadeia de valor constituída aqui pela parceria PT/Mobbit que promove o serviço, pelo cliente institucional que desenvolve com ele o seu negócio e pelo cliente final, que dele faz uso como veículo de acesso aos conteúdos de informação.
Só a partir de uma análise no terreno se pode perceber se o nível de utilização e satisfação dos clientes finais corresponde às perspectivas criadas pela instituição quando decide investir nestas novas tecnologias. Deste modo procedeu-se ao estudo do Digital Signage aplicado a cada um destes três elementos, integrados em 3 cadeias de valor dedicadas cada uma delas aos sectores da banca, do turismo e dos serviços públicos.
Foram focados e estudados aspectos relacionados com a natureza e a proveniência dos conteúdos. Os conteúdos sendo o principal objectivo do suporte tecnológico, deverão ser pensados e desenhados em articulação com as estratégias de CRM do cliente institucional. A sua origem pode ser institucional, fornecido por terceiros (uma empresa de conteúdos ou mesmo o público em geral ao nível do “crowdsourcing”), dos próprios promotores do serviço como a Mobbit pertença do mesmo grupo do Diário Económico, ou a PT através da suas plataformas MEO e SAPO, ou mista incluindo várias proveniências.<br>Regarding the technological knowledge of the actual solutions of Digital Signage, this work was meant to perceive in which degree, its planning and installation carried by the institutional clients, covers the basic needs of their final clients or users, thus creating a sustainable value chain considering the cost benefit dimension. A value chain incorporating here the partnership PT/Mobbit, which constitutes the technological service promoters, the institutional client who developed its business using the technology, and finally the end client or user, which use it as an access vehicle to the info media contends.
Only by field analysis we can understand if the usability and clients satisfaction level, corresponds to the perspectives arise by the institution, when first decided to invest in those kinds of technological supports. Keeping that in mind, we proceed to the study of Digital Signage, applied to each one of those 3 elements, integrated in 3 value chains dedicated each one to the activity sectors of banc, tourism and public services.
Were also focused and studied on this work some aspects concerning the nature and origin of media contents. The media contents been regarded as the main purpose of technological support, must be considered, designed and applied by the institutional client, under his CRM strategy context. Its source could be institutional or corporative; it could be delivered by third parties (a media company or the final client himself under the “crowdsourcing” philosophy), by the service promoters as Mobbit with “Diário Económico”, both sharing the same corporation, or PT using its MEO, and SAPO platforms, or even mixing several sources altogether.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) is the most important opto-electronics besides TFT LCD in Taiwan. Facing the intense competition among the big factories in Occident, Japan, ect, it’s an important topic in understanding positively the industrial value system and stead supply chain. This research puts emphasis on the description of Taiwan LED industry value chain, which collects finance information of each enterprise inside the circle between 2004 and 2009, and calculates the income, the profit, and each reward on each industry value chain stage. So as to more in-depth understanding to Taiwan LED industry, it provides a reference to business strategy for enterprises. The main conclusions of this study are as follows:
(1The capital investment of LED industry concentrates in the LED upper and middle reaches manufacturers, but the constant ratio of gross profit in those seal factory whose earning net amount is closed to upper and middle reaches is over 8%. LED will grow attaching to LED TV (LED backlight) in the future five years. The chance is pretty high that the whole value chain will be lead by LCD industry. If the present upper and middle reaches LED factory and seal factory can not develop new market opportunity in other application domain, the controllability of whole industry will be able to fall to LCD industry which has ability conformity main application terminal marine outfall.
(2The technology threshold of LED upper and middle reaches is still high, because of its technology-intensive, those upper and middle led factory who has ability conformity to the seal industry will be helpful to setting price ability in the whole market and the long-term development.

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>商學組<br>99<br>According to Potor’s value system, the value chain framework is a method for breaking down the chain, from basic raw materials to end-ues customers, into strategically relevant activities in order to understand the behaviors of costs and the sources of differentiation. A firm can enhance its profitability not only by understanding its own value chain, from design to distribution, but also by understanding how the firm’s value activities fit into suppliers’ and costomers’ value chains. And with Shank’s concept of strategic cost management, not only extending the scope to the whole industrial value chain, it also provides a methodology to quantify the economic value created at each stage by identifying the costs, revenues, and assets for each activity.
This thesis uses the concept of Porter''s value system and the methodology of Shank''s strategic cost management to analyze the industrial value chain of Solar Photovoltaic industry.
In the analysis, we found,
As for the scale, the growth rates of revenue and profit in the downstream of Solar Photovoltaic industry is higher than those of upstream. The corresponding growth rate of overall industry is lower than the growth rate of global product demand.
As for the analysis of returns, all stages in the industry declined over years. And only Silicon stage performs better than average of the whole industry in the period of Years 2007 to 2010. Downstream performs better than upstream after Year 2009.

Thus, the using of CO2 emissions from thermal power generation to cultivate Microalgae has not only solved costs, land space and other problems, but also offering a new direction and opportunities in the development of carbon reduction technology. This main objective of this paper is to facilitate robust strategic decision- making regarding early and future deployment of the microalgae based CO2 capture technology. Based on Michael Porter’s value-chain theory, a chain of activities common to all businesses, and he divided them into primary and support activities, this paper tries to design microalgae based CO2 capture value-chain model. Then through analyzing the value-chain model by SWOT. In the present study, a microalgae based CO2 capture value-chain model is built. It shows the value drivers of microalgae based CO2 capture, which would benefit the economic development greatly. According to the SWOT analysis of microalgae based CO2 capture value-chain model, we can choose the suitable strategy to make decision to increase value. Constructing the microalgae based CO2 capture value chain is a practical problem in the development of microalgae based CO2 capture from power plant. The value chain model will help guide needed investments and the deployment of microalgal based CO2 capture from power plant.

It is the intention of this research to use the value chain theory of the renowned Economist Michael Porter as a reference, to focus on the Taiwan induction motor industry and attempt to analyze the industry from five different aspects: Human resource manipulation, fund raising ability, technique R&D ability, marketing ability and the overall industry value chain analysis. From the data collected through in depth interviews and survey, we will analyze the industry, provide objective analysis and probe the problems and difficulties that exist in the Taiwan induction motor industry today and then further come up with the appropriate strategies for the government and businesses to use as a reference, strengthening the industry’s competitiveness in the global scale.
The research result has shown that the longer a Taiwanese induction motor company has been established and the larger its business volume is, the more desirable its fund raising ability. At the same time, the higher the capital and employee numbers a Taiwanese induction motor company has, the more ideal its technique R&D ability. Moreover, what the Taiwanese induction motor company lacks the most is electronic circuit and mechanical structure talents; according to the survey, most companies felt that they also lack talents with cross-field integration abilities which has caused difficulty in combining the up, mid and downstream manufacturers along the industry value chain.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>長庚大學<br>企業管理研究所<br>92<br>Biotechnology industry is one of star industries which are approved by almost all the countries in the world. Biopharmaceutical industry is core of the whole biotechnology industry in global development of biotechnology, which has some characteristics that are much different from other industries. The major characteristics which were frequently mentioned in this industry included longer R&D period, complex industrial structure, far-reaching value chain, complicated professional knowledge, huge investment, high risk, strict regulations. Consequently, independent execution and close collaboration were required for R&D to be successful.
This research adopts Diamond Model to construct future developments for competitive advantages of biopharmaceutical industry in Taiwan. The model was modified as the research concerned about specific environment and current development of Biotech industry in Taiwan. As a consequence, the thesis integrates the concepts in value chain into current status of Taiwan’s biopharmaceutical industry into future R&D model so as to find solutions for Biotech industry. Biotech companies from different sectors were purposively sampled to study value chain each stage of biopharmaceutical industry in Taiwan. A qualitative interview with open questions was applied to collect information regarding current developments and operation of each selected company, problems encountered for business development, and problems and needs for collaboration among sectors. Data collected from companies, such as Vita genomics, TaiGen biotech, Maywufa enterprise, Phytohealth, and INER, were consolidated into value chain and were constructed a virtual model for Biopharmaceutical industry to be collaborated and integrated as a complete system.
The study has come out with several important points. 1) In the part of drug discovery, the companies should normally target at common diseases specific to Asian populations. In doing so, we can get better chance to develop personalized medicine by genomic research and increase the success of clinical trials. 2) In lead compound development process, Taiwan has advantages on both quantity and quality of biologists and chemists involving the works. Companies can also license the patient out to get profits during R&D. 3) Pre-clinical and clinical trial: clinical trial is one of the most outstanding sections that we can expect the milestone value of new drug development. There are many CRO companies, which are doing very well. 4) Manufacturing and Marketing: drug Manufacturing usually outsource to CMO due to the huge cost of constructing a factory. Most Domestic companies focused on Asian market. As a short-term goal, to build up sale channel in Asian medical marketing will be a main target of domestic companies. In fact, biopharmaceutical industry in Taiwan has some shortages in development such as lacks of R&D experience and without grounds of cooperation among industry, government, academia, and research center. In fact, most biotechnology companies in Taiwan usually work alone. From the point of government, an in-depth integration of different sectors into a more focused area of products is required for future development of biotech industry in Taiwan. In accordance, the increasing of cooperation will stabilize, to some extents, on the structure of biopharmaceutical value chain in Taiwan. The findings provide critical information for policy makers, business managers, and researchers for considering Biotech development in the future.

Then a prepared questionnaire survey was coducted, through purposive sampling, and was distriubted to about 50 professionals with ornamental aquarium background as well as to Tainan City traditional aquarium farm industry. A total of 36 valid questionnaires were collected. Then the analysis methods of "descriptive statistics", "one-way analysis of variance," "IPA analysis" and other statistical methods were used. According to the study results, the industry interviewed in this study expressed that the most important three facets were “operations”, “technology development” and “inbound logistics. The three facets that the industry disagreed most were “marketing and sales”, “procurement” and “firm infrastructure.” The three facets that the industry felt most satisfied with were "production operation", "industry infrastructure" and "services." The three facets that the industry felt least satisfied with were "purchasing", "shipping logistics" and "human resource management." The results from the analysis of IPA show that the facets falling onto "enhancing improvement" are 14 areas, such as the adequacy of the number of fish species. Recommendations made based on the respondents' dissatisfication are the following: (1)The establishment of Development Center of seedlings and fish species; (2)Assistance of aquarium medication production; (3)Strengthening fisheries trade services; (4)Employment and fostering the integration of industry talent resources; (5)Normality for domestic ornamental fish exhibition.

碩士<br>輔仁大學<br>織品服裝學系<br>94<br>Value chain is the process in which enterprises create values through their products or services, that is, it is a series of “activities that create values” for their customers. This thesis analyzes the value chain composed of the up-, middle- and down-stream textile firms listed on Taiwan Stock Exchange in order to appraise the current status and future prospects of the textile industry. The conclusions and related policy recommendations for future development are as follows:
1. Textile companies were very profitable before 1990s, and as a result, many of them pursued a diversification strategy to digest excess free cash flows. In the absence of the prerequisite expertise, these undisciplined financial investments not only seldom contribute to the overall profit, but become a major cause for persistent net losses. Similarly, their strategic investments in unrelated businesses often turn out to be a continuing drag on operating profits. The end is decreased firm values as reflected in stock prices. If these companies are willing to do away excess financial and diversification investments, their operating asset turnovers can be substantially increased to generate a much higher return on equity.
2. Through value-chain integration, perhaps by means of mergers and acquisitions, the manufacturing processing time can be drastically reduced, resulting in better inventory and receivables turnovers as well as faster response to changes in customer demands. In addition, some redundant selling and administrative expenses can be eliminated, thus, the opportunity to create firm values could be capitalized.
3. The textile industry is not a sunset industry; on the contrary, it is adept in applying the latest advancements and inventions in technology. Its net operation profit is about 5%, no less than the computer assembly industry. Due to the limited scale of operations, firms cannot afford to invest heavily in research and development and have to rely on technology transfers from the government sponsored textile research institutions so as to avoid price competition. Hence, continuing government sponsorship of the industry’s research institutions is crucial to the survival and prospects of the industry. Besides, technology transfers should be made available to overseas factories under the current trend of outward migration in manufacturing facilities.
4. R&D, marketing and production are the three most important functions in any industry. The production phase emphasizes continuing reduction in costs as well as total quality control. This is relatively easy to achieve in terms of the competitive strength of Taiwanese companies. The marketing phase deals with issues of price setting, brand recognition and logistics deployment, it is still in the learning stage for most companies in Taiwan and may not expect to generate near-term operating profits. R&D is a cash-burning activity, but without it, there is no way to achieve product differentiation and hence, no hope to escape price competition. We should begin to stress both ends of the smile curve, then by combining the effects of brand recognition and supply chain integration, textile companies in Taiwan would be able to create values for global customers.

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>會計學研究所<br>89<br>The value chain concept that Michael Porter suggested focuses on analyzing value activities of companies and possible linkages with its suppliers and customers from the individual business point of view. Later, Shank & Govindarajan offered strategic cost management which put accounting numbers into value chain concept and described the whole industry value chain. They calculated the profit and asset return of each stage of the industry in order to realize the concept of value chain and find where the competitive advantages were.
The IC industry of Taiwan is a typical representation of “vertical disintegration“. From IC design, mask shop, manufacturing, packaging, testing to lead frame, the industry stages are intact. Thus, this thesis uses the concepts of Porter’s value system and Shank’s strategic cost management to describe the IC industrial value chain in Taiwan and calculate the revenues, profits, returns of several measurements and their standard deviations. By this analysis, we can have further understanding of the IC industry in Taiwan. Besides, through the analysis of industrial value chain, we can provide company management with supplementary information for making strategic decisions.
The conclusions of this thesis are as follows:
1. As for the scale, the IC industry in Taiwan focuses on the manufacturing stage, and the IC design stage follows. The revenue of every stage keeps the trend of enlarging. However, as far as the relative proportion is concerned, the manufacturing stage is in the decreasing and the IC design stage is in the increasing.
2. As for the analysis of returns, the IC design stage is the only stage that its returns are above the average of the whole industry. The manufacturing stage’s returns are about the same with the average of the whole industry.
3. As for the standard deviations of every return, the profitability gap of the companies in IC industrial value chain stages is getting smaller.

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>會計學研究所<br>91<br>To create value is the primary mission of a corporation organization. Enterprises by providing products with the value exceed the price, and with the price higher than the cost to be profitable. How to increase the value and decrease the cost is an important task of a corporation organization. There are a series of activities to create value, these activities comprise “value chain”. By value chain analysis and management, companies could accomplish the goal to create value.
This thesis uses the concept of Porter’s value system and Shank’s strategic cost management to describe the telecommunications industrial value chain in Taiwan and calculate the revenue, profits, returns of several measurement and their standard deviations. By this analysis, we can have further understanding of the telecommunications industry in Taiwan. Besides, we can find where the unique competitive advantages are.
The conclusions of this thesis are as follows:
1.As for the scale, the telecommunications industry in Taiwan focuses on the carriers stage, and the network receiving infrastructure manufacturers stage follows. However, as far as the relative proportion is concerned, the carriers stage is in decline and the network receiving infrastructure manufacturers stage is in increasing.
2.As for the analysis of returns, the carriers stage is the only stage that its returns are above the average of the whole industry. But except for returns of the network receiving infrastructure manufacturers stage keep rising, the returns of the other stages go down since 1990.
3.As for the standard deviations of ever returns, the profitabilities of the value chain stages of telecommunications industry in Taiwan are still different.
4.Generalizing this thesis, the network receiving infrastructure manufacturers stage surpass the other stages. The relative proportion of the network receiving infrastructure manufacturers stage is in increasing, and the returns of the network receiving infrastructure manufacturers stage keep rising.
Managers inside the corporations could have penetrating understanding of the business operation, the profitability, and the risk of telecommunications industry of Taiwan by this analysis.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>國際企業學系<br>85<br>During the proceeding days, as globalization of industries,
small and medium companies in Taiwan launched in industries
through the competitive advantages of lower labor cost and
created the industrial miracles, such as shoe and bicycle
industry. But the advantages gradually disappeared as the labor
cost went up by the development of economy, the firms in Taiwan
couldn''t compete with other firms in the global market.The study
tried to suggest the future strategies for bicycle industry in
Taiwan. At the beginning, the study analyzed the competitive
conditions of global bicycle industry. After this, the study
proposed the "global value chain analysis" to describe the
global value chain structure of bicycle industry and the
position of Taiwan bicycle industry and suggested the developing
strategies to component and assembling firms in Taiwan.The study
made the following conclusions:1. The competition of global
bicycle industry is fierce.2. ''Shimano'' became the leading firm
in the global bicycle industry.3. The value-added created by
component and own brand bicycle sales company is increasing.4.
Bicycle industry in Taiwan should develop manufacturing and
selling of high end product.The study found out that ''Shimano''
became the leading firm through the strategy of "leap frog in
global value chain". The study compared this to the similar
strategy of ''Intel'' in personal computer industry, they both
switched the global value chain operating structure as a
component firm. So the study tried to propose five hypotheses of
successful leap frog strategy:1. Leap frog in value chain will
succeed more easily as the firm supply the key components.2.
Leap frog in value chain will succeed more easily as the firm is
the leader of R&D and manufacturing in industry.3. If the
component performance could be separable in the end product, the
leap frog strategy will succeed more easily.4. The firm who has
the global marketing capabilities will succeed more easily by
the leap frog strategy.5. The component firm will sustain the
advantages of leap frog strategy in the industry with high
growth rate.The study analyzed the bicycle industry with two
objectives, in the one hand, to propose the developing
strategies for firms in Taiwan bicycle industry; in the other
hand, to construct the concept of global value chain analysis in
order to build more complete methods of industrial analyzing.

Full textAbstract:
Every can of tuna purchased by the consumer has taken a long journey before reaching the
supermarket shelves. For each can bought there is a lengthy process from sea to shelf. A large
proportion of the tuna cans purchased in the European Union come all the way from West
Africa; a developing region with a high dependency on fisheries. Amidst an ever-increasing
demand for tuna products the global tuna fisheries are set to continue expanding, apparently
one of the last natural resource based industries fit to do so in West Africa. Tuna is the biggest
fisheries export and dominates the fisheries sector in Ghana, a country situated in West Africa.
This thesis aims to understand how this globally important industrial fisheries functions in
terms of procedures, practices, Governance and finance. Socioeconomic influences, in the
setting of a developing country, were also examined. For these purposes a Value Chain
Analysis was employed. A Value Chain Analysis is a tool commonly used to understand how
different companies and organizations participate in a domestic policy environment, which
directs conclusion in the global economy. This analysis has the potential to allow researchers to
fully understand a commodity chain and hence identify realistic opportunities for consequential
improvements. Interviews and questionnaires were employed in-field Ghana along with
secondary data collection techniques. It was found that the fisheries functions at the production
level under influences from large multinational companies and tends to operate with a certain
degree of lawlessness. Governance over the value chain is well defined, however
implementation is poor or non-existent. The processors, whom are also dominated by
multinationals, exert some control over the producers and their sales, however the high value
links which are highlighted occur at the retail stage. Socioeconomic dynamics acting in the
chain included the lack of communication between the public and private sector, power
imbalances amongst players at production, the role of local businesswomen as actors in the
chain and the general characteristics of the workers in the industry. Value addition and
upgrading are needed the most in Governance over the chain, especially within Monitoring,
Control and Surveillance. The results of the study provide a wealth of material about the
components of a cost-heavy fishing industry in a developing country; an industry on which
many eyes have recently turned due to illegal fishing activities. It highlights clearly where
funding and future focus are needed. This value chain can be used as a guide for those that
need to comprehend the financial complexities and real life dynamics of the Ghanaian tuna
fishing industry today.<br>O atum em lata passou por uma longa viagem até chegar às prateleiras dos supermercados.
Uma elevada proporção das latas de atum compradas na União Europeia provêem da África
Ocidental, uma região em vias de desenvolvimento com elevada dependência da pesca. É
expectável que a crescente procura de atum resultará na expansão da pesca destas espécies,
uma das últimas indústrias de processamento ainda baseadas na África Ocidental. O atum é o
produto mais importante das exportações de produtos da pesca provenientes do Gana, um país
situado na costa Ocidental de África. O objectivo desta tese é compreender como funciona esta
indústria global em termos de procedimentos, práticas, governança e finanças. Foram
examinados os aspectos socioeconómicos com particular relevância para um país em
desenvolvimento, utilizando a metodologia da Análise da Cadeia de Valor (ACV). A ACV é
uma ferramenta utilizada para compreender como diferentes companhias e organizações
participam em processos económicos locais e quais os seus impactos a nível global. Esta
análise tem o potencial de permitir compreender a cadeia de transformação de um produto e o
valor económico de cada um dos elos desta cadeia, neste caso desde a captura do atim até ao
consumidor, permitindo identificar oportunidades para melhorias de eficiência. Os dados foram
obtidos através de entrevistas e questionários aplicados no Gana e através da consulta de bases
de dados da indústria e do governo do Gana. Concluiu-se que a indústria associada ao
comércio de atum funciona sob grande influência de grandes multinacionais e opera em parte
na ausência de legislação apropriada. A governança aplicada nas etapas da cadeia de valor está
bem definida, no entanto a implementação é fraca ou inexistente. O processamento, igualmente
dominado pelas multinacionais, permite o exercício de algum controlo sobre os produtos e a
sua venda mas apesar disso, os elos de maior valor ocorrem na fase do retalho. A dinâmica
socioeconómica associada à cadeia de valor inclui aspectos negativos como falta de
comunicação entre o sector público e privado, desequilíbrios de poder entre os produtores,
papel pouco importante das mulheres e situação precária dos trabalhadores das indústrias. Este
trabalho produziu informação valiosa sobre os componentes de uma indústria pesada de custos
igualmente elevados, a operar num país em desenvolvimento, em que a pesca ilegal é muitas
vezes tacitamente ignorada. São claramente identificados os subsectores que merecem atenção
e financiamento. Esta cadeia de valor pode ser utilizada para compreender a complexidade
financeira e a dinâmica da pesca industrial de atum no Gana.

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>商學研究所<br>90<br>With development of information technology, relationship between enterprises and customers gets complex and prompt. Amid keen competition, resources allocation decision among customers become significant. To allocate resources efficiently and cut down waste of marketing budget, customer value analysis turns to be an important tool. In this thesis, Markov chain and RFM model are integrated to calculate customer lifetime value（CLV）. Then customer lifetime value is used to allocate marketing budget and solve the problem.
The model integrates RFM model, Markov chain and discounting method to derive profit contribution of customers in every purchasing situation. In the first step RFM model is used to define customers purchasing state while transition matrix is designed to describe probabilities among purchasing states. With revenue and cost data, profit contribution of each period can be calculated. After discounted, profit contribution is accumulated to be customer lifetime value. In order to compare the original method and real data, three months of transaction data were used. Finally, customer lifetime value can be used to indicate from the empirical case study, we have the following conclusions:
1.The new model performs better than the traditional customer lifetime value estimate method, especially when the retaining rate is low.
2.Customer purchasing behavior and probability are estimated by using Markov Chain. Customer lifetime value can be used to resource allocation.

Full textAbstract:
Modern day societies and economies are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the continued erosion of the stocks and flows of essential ecosystem services. Thus, the management of complex socio-economic systems to effectively provide these essential services has become a global priority policy and academic research area. Understanding how underlying processes and functions contribute towards the provision of final ecosystem services can facilitate improved dissemination of credible, legitimate and salient information to decision-makers. This paper presents an ecosystem service value chain analysis framework that applies basic system dynamics modelling in the form of causal loop diagrams to facilitate an alternative analysis of ecosystem service value chains. A scoping application of the framework is applied to a case study for flood attenuation services in the Baviaanskloof catchment in South Africa. The framework enables the identification of forward linkages and ripple effects in individual value chains of final ecosystem services as well as the identification and assessment of challenges and opportunities within individual causal pathways. Ultimately, providing the potential to advance strategies for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of final ecosystem service provision.

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>會計學系<br>85<br>Porter suggested the "value chain" concept in 1985.The value
chain concept which Porter suggested focused on analyzing value
activities of companies and possible linkage with its
suppliers and customers in individual business viewpoints.
But this thesis will introduces "the whole industry view"
into companies, and hopes that companies can practice value
chain concept from the whole industry viewpoints. In the
meanwhile, this thesis hopes that companies can make
evaluations and decisions on value chain concept in order to
achievecompetitive advantage. Integrated circuit industry in
Taiwan is very intact, including ICdesign, manufacturing
,packaging and testing. Therefore ,this thesisuses IC industry
in Taiwan as an example, and illustrate value chainconcept
through the case study method. This thesis is framed on value
chain concept, and builds a model-"Value Chain Analysis
Model",which includes "Cost Structure Analysis","Linkage
Analysis" and "Competitor Analysis". Moreover, the thesis
tries to use accounting information in Value Chain Analysis
Model, hoping to make better use of the accounting information .
This thesis enables us to have better understand of the value
chainconcept, and tells us accounting information still play
an important role by the use of the Value Chain Analysis Model.
The thesis emphasizes that the Value Chain Analysis Model
can analyze operation of companies through macro viewpoints-no
matter if it is in the whole company or a individual product
line. Because of only using one company as an example,
this thesis can''''t achieve generalized conclusions. Nevertheless
we can''''t deny the advantage of the Value Chain Analysis Model.

Full textAbstract:
Trade liberalization and globalization have resulted in the free flow of goods, services, capital and
people. In this regard ports play a vital role in linking supply chains, as goods flow from the point of
inception through the chain up to the customer at the end.
This research was conducted to determine and evaluate the role of logistics in the value chain of
steel products that pass through Durban Port. The impact of logistics - measured in terms of costreduction,
shorter lead times and better customer service - that would contribute to the competitive
advantage of businesses was evaluated. Other countries like China and India are also manufacturers
of steel products, and it is therefore important for South Africa not to lose international markets due
to prices and products that are not internationally competitive.
In essence, this paper unpacks the debates surrounding the high prices of steel products from South
Africa, and suggests how these prices can be reduced. In this regard the investigation into steel
products provided an excellent case study, as steel contributes significantly to the GDP of the
country. The study analyses all logistics activities like transportation, warehousing, handling, quality
control of goods and a just-in-time management approach.
Informal interviews and a case study based on Durban Port highlight the role that logistics activities
play in adding value to goods that pass through Durban Port. The implications of the findings are
discussed and proposals for redefining the role of logistics in an organization are offered.<br>Thesis (M.A.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2008

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>臺灣大學<br>會計學研究所<br>95<br>According to his value chain concept, U.S. professor Miachael Porter further referred that a firm’s value chain does not exist alone, rather it consists in a value system which is composed of the firm and its suppliers and customers, and it is so-called “the industry value chain”. In addition, Stan Shi,the former president of Acer, also mentioned the relative concept “smiling curve”. He said the traditional OEM industry in Taiwan was a high added-value industry before, but now it becomes the lowest added-value one. Therefore, firms have to work hard toward the two side of the smiling curve, which are “intellectual property” and “Brand and Service”, to ratain their competitive advantages.
This thesis based on Miachael Porter’s value system and Stan Shi’s smiling curve is to do some financial performance analysis of IT industry in Taiwan. According to the companies basic information in TEJ database, this thesis classifies every IT industry firm to each different value chain stage, and further classifies every firm in the manufacturing stage to each industry based on the supplier-and-customer relationship. The data in this thesis is referred to the consolidated financial statement. This thesis calculates the operating performance and profitability of each value chain stage in the last five years, and observes the difference in financial performance in each value chain stage and the trend of the change in value so that it could be the information for the investors to invest in the Taiwan IT industry in the future. The conclusions of this thesis are as follows:
1. As for the scale, Taiwan IT industry mainly center on the manufacturing stage. The scale in each industry value chain stage except software industry and channel stage show a upward trend. The percentage of the scale in the manufacturing stage increases gradually while it decreases little by little in the other value chain stage.
2. As for the growth rate, the manufacturing stage is the highest among other value chain stages in Taiwan IT industry. And the semiconductor industry has the highest growth rate among other industries in the manufacturing stage.
3. As for the profitability, it shows that the “intellectual property” and “Brand and Service”stages have high profitability, and the manufacturing stage has low profitability. This also verifies the smiling curve statement. However, although software industy and channel stage also belong to the two side of the smiling curve, they have the lowest added-value in the IT industry. In the manufacturing stage, the semiconductor industry has the highest added-value while the component industry and the communication industry have the lowest one.
4. In the situation that the traditional telecommunication industy is excluded from the IT industy analysis, the smiling curve is no longer “smiling”. It shows that the design stage in the left side has the highest added-value, the manufacturing stage is the second, and the communication industry has the lowest added-value.

碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>高階經營碩士班<br>98<br>Abstract
Facing the trend of globalization and new era of regional economy, corporations in the economical fact of ECFA are standing to embrace a whole new beginning for new economy age!
The researcher currently works at VATM International Business Managerial Consulting Co., Ltd. and the company’s major services are to provide consultation for financial and tax affairs, and operational management for executive officers. In her own professional development, from offering consultation as an accountant to executive management, operational strategies, and innovative concept, she realized that within the whole process of operational service, the use of time for decision making and abilities for information interpretation become the greatest operational issue that corporations need to face when tackling competition. It is also the most neglected ability that entrepreneurs must cultivate.
A consultant from one perspective is to provide major resources for corporation operators’ decision making and from another angle is to sustain the quality of information of corporations. The importance of a consultant is undeniable.In other words, the role of a consultant is not as the doctor of a corporation from the traditional viewpoint, but as the invisible chief staff and external inspector and mentor. The researcher believes that a consultant should take Entrepreneur-Schweitzer’s perspective and face the problems of corporations from a humanist standpoint.
The present study focuses on the psychological journey of launching a new business and self-reflection of an individual consultant. The study offers appropriate roles and positions a competent consultant should take. From the whole process of self-reflection and launch for an enterprise, the researcher suggests “ManageAccountanize”(business management accountanize)for consultation field as a concept for problem solving but not the idea of Balanced scored which the consultants use in general. In addition, this study also investigates the consulting industry value chain and knowledge value chain so as to approve the value of professional consultants. The researcher provides insights of the necessities of consultants including academic theoretical applications and establishment of consultation authority.
