Chapter 2 Value Chains
Value Chains


The underlying purpose of every organization is to provide value to its customer and stakeholders.



Value is the perception of the benefits associated with a good, service, or bundle of goods and services (i.e., the customer benefit package) in relation to what buyers are willing to pay for them.



A value chain is a network of facilities and processes that describes the flow of goods, services, information, and financial transactions from suppliers through the facilities and processes that create goods and services and deliver them to customer.



A supply chain is the portion of the value chain that focuses primarily on the physical movement of goods and materials, and supporting flows of information and financial transactions through the supply, production, and distribution processes.

Value = Perceived benefits/Price (cost) to the customer

    In 2006, the NSW Government passed the Crimes Legislation Amendment (Gangs) Act 2006, making it the first Australian jurisdiction to legislate specific offences against criminal organisations (Schloenhardt 2008). The provisions make it an offence to participate in a criminal group, defined as three or more people who have as their objectives either to obtain material benefits from serious indictable offences or to commit serious violent offences. The Act also created power for the court to make a fortification removal order, in order to deal with OMCGs' heavily fortified premises.…

    In the article Beware of Data is went over the Uniform Crime Report and it explained it included four types of Violent crimes, these crimes were murder/nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery and aggravated assault, and three types of property crime such as burglary, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft. The Uniform crime report does include arson but that is on a very limited basis. This data base is very impressive with how it collect and records these crimes but at the same time like any data base it does have its flaws. These flaws are that the actual crime levels are not accurate due to not all of the crimes committed are called into police agencies to have reports filed, some of these crimes can be Rape and assaults since victims could know the suspect and they fear retribution from the suspect. To redress the weaknesses in the reports the Bureau of Justice created another data base called the National Crime Victimization Survey. This data base surveys individuals as well as households around the country asking if they have been victims of crimes over the last 6 months and if they had it collects information on what happened. This data base shows that the crime rates are a lot higher than the Uniform Crime report especially for violent crimes. This was a brief summary of what this article was going over.…

    Learning Objectives: Students should be able to ... • Define evolution, fitness, and adaptation using the biological definitions. • Describe the nature of the evidence regarding (1) whether species change through time and (2) whether they are related by common ancestry. • Assess whether Darwin's four postulates are true in any given example, explain to a friend why evolution must occur if all four are true, and explain whether evolution will occur if any of the four are not true. • Identify common misconceptions about evolution, and give examples to illustrate why they are not true. (For example: Is evolution progressive? Do animals do things "for the good of the species"? Does evolution result in perfection?) Lecture Outline • Evolution is one of the best-supported and most important theories in the history of science. • Evolution is one of the five attributes of life. • Evolution has both a pattern and a process. I. The Evolution of Evolutionary Thought A. Plato and typological thinking 1. Plato saw species as unchanging, perfect "types" created by God. 2. Plato thought individual variation was an unimportant deviation from the true "type." B. Aristotle and the great chain of being (scale of nature) 1. Aristotle, like Plato, thought species were unchanging types. 2. Aristotle thought species could be organized into a sequence or ladder of increasing complexity, with humans at the top. (Fig. 24.1) C. Lamarck and the idea of evolution as change through time 1. Lamarck noticed that organisms changed over time. 2. Lamarck thought animals progressed over time from "lower" to "higher" forms (like Aristotle's ladder) via inheritance of acquired characteristics. D. Darwin and Wallace and evolution by natural selection 1. Species change over time, but they do not "progress." 2. A species does not have a single true "type." 3. Individual variation is important; variation is what drives…

    1. Describe Keller's appearance and manner. What is emphasized? Why?Keller is a short european man with grey-white hair and an arched nose. He had soft, pale, clean skin with small pudgy hands that were always manicured although he was missing a finger. He takes more pride in looking after his hands than he does about any other part of his body. He is also a very classical man. Paul finds him very fascinating.2. Of what significance is the description of the environment? What mood does it create?The environment was very dense, wet and green with trees and shrubbery growing at the back of the juggled gully leading down to the mangroves. It was filled with an unnatural greenness that looked kind of of plastic-like. There were bright butterflies everywhere as well. This creates a very calm and tranquil mood that anyone can feel comfortable in. The climate where Paul lives is either dry and hot or raining and humid, almost never in between.3. How vital is music to Paul's family? Why?Paul's parents true careers were in music and they both focused their lives around it. Making music was the most important thing to do in their household. Paul is expected to follow in their footsteps and get a career in music so his life is also focuses around it and in being the best pianist he can be. (Page 15, 16)Paul's parents, bewildered and worried about Keller's teaching techniques, still let Paul go to his weekly classes because he is still a good teacher and he had been taught by very famous pianists that were taught be even more famous pianists. Even though Keller's teaching techniques are odd, they seem to be rather effective.…
