Innovation is the source of valuecreation.The <strong>Value</strong>-Cha<strong>in</strong> Framework Porter, 1985 Deals with value creation at the firm level.Identifies activities and studies the economicimplications of the different activitiesThe Resource Based View(RBV) of the FirmSchumpeter, 1934Penrose, 1959Wernerfelt, 1984Barney, 1991Peteraf, 1993Amit & Schoemaker 1993The underly<strong>in</strong>g logic of this view is that a firm’ sresources and capabilities are valuable only ifthey reduce a firm’ s costs or <strong>in</strong>crease itsrevenues compared to what would have been thecase if the firm did not possess those resources.Transaction <strong>Co</strong>st Economics <strong>Co</strong>ase, 1937Williamson, 1975, -79, -83Deals with the question why firms <strong>in</strong>ternalizetransactions that otherwise might be conductedthrough market transactions.Identifies transaction efficiency as a majorsource of value, as enhanced efficiency reducescosts. It suggests that value creation can derivefrom the attenuation of uncerta<strong>in</strong>ty, complexity,<strong>in</strong>formation asymmetry, and small-numbersbarga<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g conditions.Reputation, trust, and transactional experiencecan lower the cost of idiosyncratic exchangesbetween firms.Resource Dependence Pfeffer & Salancik, 1978 Sees organizations as active <strong>in</strong> adapt<strong>in</strong>g to theirenvironment <strong>in</strong> order to get access to resources.Strategic NetworksGulati, Nohria, Zaheer, 2000Freeman, 1979Granovetter, 1973Lorenzoni & Lippar<strong>in</strong>i, 1999Gulati, 1999Gulati, et al. 2000Katz & Shapiro, 1985Shapiro & Varian, 1999Anand & Khanna, 2000Dyer & Noboeka, 2000Dyer & S<strong>in</strong>gh, 1998Kogut, 2000Möller & Svahn , 2003Parol<strong>in</strong>i, 1999Market<strong>in</strong>g theory Alderson, 1957Bus<strong>in</strong>ess Market<strong>in</strong>gWilson et al., 1994, 1995Focuses on the implications of network structurefor value creation.Looks at governance mechanisms such as trustfor value creation.Looks at the importance of resources andcapabilities of suppliers and customers for valuecreation.Strategic networks creat<strong>in</strong>g value through accessto <strong>in</strong>formation, markets, and technologies.Enhanced transaction efficiency, reducedasymmetries of <strong>in</strong>formation, and improvedcoord<strong>in</strong>ation between the firms <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> anallianceNetworks offer the potential to share risk,generate economies of scale and scope.Networks offer the possibility for knowledgeshar<strong>in</strong>g and can facilitate learn<strong>in</strong>g.Shortened time to market.Discuss <strong>in</strong>tentionally created strategic bus<strong>in</strong>essnetworks and suggest a value-system view fordescrib<strong>in</strong>g the differences between various nets.Discuss the relativity of value <strong>in</strong> the context ofcomplex “ value creat<strong>in</strong>g systems” .<strong>Value</strong> creation through exchange.Suggests that value can be understood ascompetence, market position, and social rewards.Spekman et al., 1985Benefits of relational exchange be<strong>in</strong>g reduceduncerta<strong>in</strong>ty and managed dependence57

In this study, which isan exploratory case study, the stated aim is to review how value has been used theoreticallyand to explore empirically how it is perceived <strong>in</strong> a buyer-seller dyad. For this purpose Ibelieve that a loose conceptual framework is the most suitable for this study. A looseframework will give room for the empirical material to speak. In this way exploration willbe possible <strong>in</strong>stead of be<strong>in</strong>g locked <strong>in</strong> a rigid pre-understand<strong>in</strong>g of what could be perceivedas value <strong>in</strong> this particular context.58
