This paper presents a framework based on value chain analysis to evaluate investments for services. The rationale for this approach is that to properly evaluate the benefits of any services investments, the value and cost interactions resulting from different business processes or activities need to be considered. To achieve reliable cost estimations, the framework employs a costing system, which integrates activity-based costing with the economic value added performance measure. The proposed framework is illustrated using a hypothetical case of an information technology investment in a car repair shop.

Semarang City Public Works Department is a state-owned enterprise that works in the area of public services in the city of Semarang. Most of the technological conditions in the Public Works Department are still in manual data management, which is hampering business processes from going well. Therefore this research was conducted to design an Information System at the Semarang City Public Works Department using the Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) method which includes a SWOT analysis and Value Chain analysis. The existing framework in the Enterprise Architecture Planning (EAP) method can help align the data architecture and application architecture to get the expected results, which is achieving the business objectives of the City of Semarang Public Works Department so that business functions can run by the desired business processes. This research resulted in several proposals for the development of Information Systems and Information Technology in organizations including the development of several applications in the next 5 years.

Value chain analysis (VCA) aids the strategist in understanding a firm’s potential sources of competitive advantage by decomposing the firm’s business processes into strategically important activities. Viewing the firm as an aggregate of interlinked value-adding activities and placing them in the context of a broader value chain helps to understand each activity’s impact on both cost and revenue potential. As such, VCA can be used to help the firm achieve an optimal allocation of resources. This chapter discusses the underlying theory, core idea, depiction, process, insight or value created, and risks and limitations of VCA. The chapter also continues the illustration of Netflix and applies the steps of value chain analysis to this case.

This study on ‘Value Chain Analysis of Fish in Meghalaya: A case study in East Khasi Hills district’ has been conducted in 2020-21 with specific objectives (1) To map the actors involved in the value chain of fish business. (2) To estimate the value addition in fish marketing by the value chain actors. The value chain actors were identified and the structure of the value chains was mapped. The study revealed that the most commonly followed method of value addition of fish in the study area are fermenting, drying and smoking. The cost incurred for making fermented fish was observed to be ` 21.50/kg, ` 16.50/kg for dry fish and ` 37.50/kg for smoked fish. Additionally, net profit was found to be highest in value-added fish than compared to fresh ones. Therefore, value addition should be encouraged among fish farmers to increase net profit.

<p>As a region with the largest oil palm plantations in Indonesia, Pelalawan Regency is highly potential to develop a program of oil palm-cattle integration. Pelalawan has implemented the program legitimated by Regent Decree Number KPTS./524/Disnak/2012/472 regarding Zoning Regulation on the development of Oil Palm-Cattle Integration. The program of oil palm-cattle integration itself has been the basis for the Decree of the Minister of Agriculture Number 105 Year 2014 regarding the Integration of Oil Palm Plantation and Beef Cattle Farming. Moreover, the integration system of oil palm-cattle gives a lot of benefit to farmers, for example the utilization of manure as organic fertilizers could reduce farmer’s expenses for chemical fertilizers and the cattle can be an asset for them. Products made from the integrated program are solid manure, liquid organic fertilizer, fodder, biogas, and beef. To improve the competitiveness of those activities, we can analyze the value chain which includes product design, inbound logistics, operations, outbound logistics, marketing, sales, services and supporting activities. By using a value chain analysis, this study aims to provide recommendations for strengthening programs which could be implemented to improve the value-added of the products.</p><p> </p><p>Keywords: oil palm-cattle integration, value chain, value-added, industrial cluster</p>

The study was focused on Value Chain Analysis (VCA) of rice (in the transition to organic) in Region 02. Specifically, it aimed to: a) map out the value chain of rice in transition to organic by identifying the processes, actors and their roles from inputs to product consumption; b) identify and analyze the constraints and issues affecting production and marketing of organic rice; and, c) recommend policy options to improve the production and marketing of rice in transition to organic in Region 02. The study covered five (5) provinces namely: Batanes, Cagayan, Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, and Quirino. There are six sectors covered by the study along the value chain of organic rice such as Business Development Services (BDS) providers, farm input suppliers, farmer producers, processors, traders/retailers, and consumers. Organic rice in Region 02 is in infant stage which the different sectors engage in a small or minimal volume of operation. There are few registered as organic rice producers in the region. BDS is working effectively their role as the provider of support services to other sectors in the value chain of rice. Greater share of value-added incurred by processers (millers) and institutional buyers/traders of the finished product. All sectors in different provinces in the region need support on physical facilities, technological, financial and market linkage from government and non-government organizations to strengthen their operations on production, processing, and marketing of organic rice.

This primary goal of this study is to facilitate robust strategic decision- making regarding current and future deployment of microalgae-based CO2 capture technology. Based on Porter’s value-chain theory, a chain of activities that are common to all businesses are divided into primary and support activities. This study then attempts designs a microalgae-based CO2 capture value-chain model. This model shows that value drivers of microalgae-based CO2 capture, benefit markedly economic development. According to this value-chain model, one can choose a suitable strategy that to increases economic value. The microalgae-based CO2 capture value chain is a practical task in the development of microalgae-based CO2 capture technologies for thermal power plants. This value- chain model will guide investments and inform deployment decisions for microalgae-based CO2 capture technologies.
