Some strategists have recently argued that Value Chains are too rigid to model the changes that some companies must accommodate. They suggest an alternative that is sometimes termed Value Nets. IBM represents this approach with Business Component Models (BCM). This approach treats business processes as independent entities that can be combined in different ways to solve evolving challenges. Thus, the Value Nets approach abandon's the idea of strategic integration, as Porter defines it, to achieve greater flexibility. The Value Nets and BCM models we have seen simply represent business processes, and don't show how those processes are combined to generate products for customers. We suspect that this new approach will prove useful, but only if it can be combined with the Value Chain approach so that companies can see how they combine their business processes (or components) to achieve specific outcomes. Otherwise, the Value Nets approach will tend to sub-optimize potential value chain.

Kaplan and Norton describe a popular approach to tying measures to organization strategies. It's good in that it gets executives thinking of a variety of measures. It's bad if it's used alone, as a measurement solution, and not incorporated into a total business process management strategy. If you want, you can easily think of the collection of measures that accumulate as a process is analyzed as a score-card of measures., Harvard Business School Press

Kaplan Robert S., Norton David P. The Balanced Scorecard: Translating Strategy into Action 1996, Kaplan and Norton describe a popular approach to tying measures to organization strategies. It's good in that it gets executives thinking of a variety of measures. It's bad if it's used alone, as a measurement solution, and not incorporated into a total business process management strategy. If you want, you can easily think of the collection of measures that accumulate as a process is analyzed as a score-card of measures., Harvard Business School Press.

The Kaplan-Norton model often confuses the relationship between process and measures, but it also provides lots of good insights. Read it for insights, but don't take their specific approach too seriously, or your process focus will tend to get lost. Kaplan and Norton's previous book on the Balanced Scorecard approach to strategy was The Strategy Focused Organizationwhich was published by the Harvard Business School press in 2001 and its also worth a read., Harvard Business School Press

The basic concepts were introduced in Improving Performance, but have been considerably elaborated in recent lectures and workshops. Ideas about the relationships between day-to-day management and management processes at a distance have been developed in conversations with Roger Burlton.

For a modern review of the efficiency movement and Taylor, check Daniel Nelson's Frederick W. Taylor and the Rise of Scientific Management, University of Wisconsin Press, 1980. Frederick Winslow Taylor advocated the idea that managers had a responsibility to study processes and assure that they were efficient. Taylor emphasized time and motion studies, and motivational incentives to control performance. Workers, who resented being urged to work faster, called the approach "Taylorism.", Harper's
