functions of a company affecting its costs and quality and give it a competitive advantage
A value chain is a sequence of activities that an organization performs to design, produce, market, deliver, and support goods or services for customers. The concept was introduced by Michael Porter in Competitive Advantage: Creating and Sustaining Superior Performance (1985) as a framework for analyzing how firms create value and achieve competitive advantage through coordinated business processes.
Value chain analysis examines how each activity—ranging from inbound logistics and operations to marketing, sales, and after-sales service—contributes to overall cost structure and customer value. The framework also includes supporting functions such as infrastructure, human resource management, technological development, and procurement, which enable primary activities to operate effectively.
