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.

The paper offers argument-based provisions in the application of value chain analysis for making effective decisions on strategic cost management of light industry enterprises, revealing the essence of the value chain concept as well as its specifics in the light industry sector. The key steps in value chain creation for light industry enterprises are suggested along with identifying the methods to gain competitive advantages for enterprises of consumer goods industry. Corporate strategy implications to increase profits are provided. The value chain components for core activities of light industry enterprises are demonstrated. The study also presents a clear methodology to increase profits in the context of value chain model application. The case of the return on assets per unit of light industry output together with profit creation within the value chain is discussed. A matrix of the correlation of market size expansion and market share is displayed.

Shrimp farming in India has grown considerably and has emerged as a major commercial enterprise owing to the introduction of specific pathogen free (SPF) stocks of Penaeus vannamei. The complexity and limited transparency of the shrimp value chain, make it difficult for buyers to take action on cost optimisation. Against this background, a study on value chain analysis of farmed shrimp sector in Tamil Nadu was undertaken with the objectives of analysing different input market channels, inbound and outbound logistics, value chain management (VCM) practices being adopted in shrimp farming, key challenges and finally to suggest a cost effective value chain model for shrimp farmers. Four coastal Districts in Tamil Nadu,namely Nagapattinam, Thanjavur, Ramanathapuram and Cuddalore were selected for the study. From each District, 50 shrimp farmers registered with Coastal Aquaculture Authority (CAA) were selected randomly with a total sample size of 200. Descriptive statistics, multiple regression and factor analysis were employed for data analysis. The annual per hectre yield andincome were estimated at 7.42 t and ₹64.23 lakhs, respectively. The overall distribution of inbound logistics revealed that almost all the inputs were transported through trucks, autorickshaws and motor cycles. The channels of distribution of various inputs were also documented. The overall farm gate price was estimated at ₹433.70 kg-1. Among the VCM practices, feed and feeding management contributed the highest (42.95%). The results of regression model (performed on cost contribution of value chain processes to final price) and factor analysis (frequency of performing VCM processes) concluded that the shrimp farmers regularly perform VCM operations such as feed and feeding management, energy usage, application of probiotics, chemicals and minerals, check tray monitoring and sampling, while they poorly practise VCM processes of waste water management, disinfection protocol, disease management and water quality management. Suitable recommendations for better yield and final price are also suggested.

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.

This research was taken in Ambon (Latuhalat and Laha) and in Central Maluku Regency (Waai) in May – July 2018. It was aimed at mapping the value chain of small pelagic fish in Ambon through: 1) mapping of product, financial and information flows and 2). analysis of percentage distribution of small pelagic fish caught. The data used in this study was primary and secondary data, and analyzed by using value chain analysis. The results show that small pelagic fish marketing chain in Ambon consisted of six models with five actors. Each chain is formed due to the conditions and situation of market, resulted by the influencing of catches of fishermen and traders' capital. The broker plays an important role in marketing small pelagic fish in the market and obtaining 10% of the fishermen's catch that can be distributed, both to retailers and cold storage. Fish caught by the fishermen is still fresh in general when arrives in the consumers, because the fishing area is not too far, the market distance with the production centers is also quite close and in general fishermen and traders have understood the importance of maintaining product quality. Even so, the role of the Government in providing marketing facilities and infrastructure is needed so that modern market conditions can be applied in marketing fresh fish in Ambon.
