value networks

A value network is a group of interconnected organizations or individuals that work together to create, deliver, and share value around a product or service. Think of it as a web where each participant plays a specific role—such as suppliers, manufacturers, or distributors—that contributes to the overall value delivered to customers. This network helps optimize resources, foster innovation, and improve efficiency by coordinating activities across different entities. Essentially, a value network shows how various parties collaborate and rely on each other to generate and maximize value in a complex ecosystem.
