A linked chain of companies or individuals is commonly referred to as a "supply chain" or a "value chain." In business and economics, a supply chain encompasses all the steps involved in getting a product or service from the supplier to the customer. This includes sourcing raw materials, manufacturing, distribution, retailing, and ultimately, the end consumer. The term "value chain" is often used to emphasize the value-adding activities within a supply chain that contribute to the final product or service.
The primary value chain activities are: * Inbound Logistics: the receiving and warehousing of raw materials, and their distribution to manufacturing as they are required. * Operations: the processes of transforming inputs into finished products and services. * Outbound Logistics: the warehousing and distribution of finished goods. * Marketing & Sales: the identification of customer needs and the generation of sales. * Service: the support of customers after the products and services are sold to them.
Secondary industry, also known as manufacturing, involves converting raw materials and components into finished products. This sector includes various activities such as manufacturing, assembly and construction, and plays an important role in increasing the value of goods.
Yes, the primary market can function without the existence of a secondary market, but it may face some challenges: Lack of Liquidity: Without a secondary market, it can be difficult for investors to sell the securities they purchased in the primary market. This means they may need to wait for a long time before they can realize returns on their investments. Uncertain Valuation: Without a secondary market, investors may find it challenging to determine the value of the securities they hold, as they lack the pricing information provided by the secondary market. Lack of Diversification: In the absence of the ability to sell securities in the secondary market, investors may struggle to diversify their investment portfolios, increasing investment risks. While the primary market can operate independently, the presence of a secondary market helps enhance liquidity and price discovery, making markets more efficient and attractive to investors.
Both the Greatest Integer Function and the Absolute Value Function are considered Piece-Wise Defined Functions. This implies that the function was put together using parts from other functions.
piecewise
A constant function returns the same value for all inputs but that value may differ from the input. Examples: x*c = y (where c is a constant) x+0 = y The identity function returns the same value as the input for all inputs. Examples: x+0 = y x*1 = y
Profit Margins Are Increased when an effective value chain is created.
Money is a common example of a secondary reinforcer because it has no inherent value but can be exchanged for primary reinforcers like food or shelter. Other examples include praise, grades, or tokens in a token economy system.

Here are a couple of URLs for two examples of banking value chain. In the first one (lionsshare), click where indicated below the value chain image to enlarge it. Once it is enlarged, place youe pointer over the orage-colored texts to get bubble listing value drivers under that element of the vaue chain. At the webpage of the second URL place your pointer over each of the grey boxes to get further explanation of the item. http://www.lionsshare.com/sub2.asp?s=bvc# http://www.soc.duke.edu/NC_GlobalEconomy/banks/value.shtml
A piecewise function is a function defined by two or more equations. A step functions is a piecewise function defined by a constant value over each part of its domain. You can write absolute value functions and step functions as piecewise functions so they're easier to graph.
Value chain analysis is the process to determine which process of production is increasing the value of product and which is not so that the product manufacturing cost can be reduced by eliminating that process from the production chain.
Yes. All functions are relations, but not all relations are functions. Functions have to have only one y-value per x-value.
As a general rule the longer the carbon chain the greater the Rf value.
A by-product is a supplementary or secondary product (arising as the result of a process) whose value is a small relative to that of the principal product. In the timber industry, for example, by-products include sawdust, small offcuts and bark.
