Value creation for Customers- Porters Value Chain
Value Creation through revenue earned . Revenue is the measure of value creation — not profit. A company can
create value without creating a profit, and many do. But they don’t do it for long.
Perceived Use Value is subjective, it is defined by customers, based on their perceptions of the usefulness of the
product on offer. Total monetary value is the amount the customer is prepared to pay for the product.
Exchange Value is realized when the product is sold. It is the amount paid by the buyer to the producer for the
perceived use value.
Total Monetary value is the price of the product and the perceived consumer surplus > 0
