Abstract

Value creation is the most common path to competitive advantage. But a value creation advantage comes in many different forms: different value propositions, scale, network externalities, a better business model, brand name, etc. A strategist needs some way to sort through these. In particular, having a systematic approach for analyzing value creation helps a strategist to pinpoint the sources of value creation advantage, to find ways to improve it, and to assess its sustainability. This note presents a simple framework on the potential levers for value creation. After discussing the framework itself, the note also explicitly explains the logic of the framework, as that makes it easier to apply it and to adapt it to diverse settings. The note ‘‘Sustainability of Competitive Advantage’’ (HBS 714-489) discusses the sustainability of such a value creation advantage, whereas ‘‘Performance and Value Analysis’’ (HBS 714-490) puts it in the broader context of overall firm performance.
