Altogether, a total of 129 firms participated in this study, 97 companies from Hong Kong and 32 firms from Thailand. Included in this methodology are a pre\u2010test of a survey and follow\u2010up discussions with participating executives.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>An effective business value chain essentially depends on good operational systems and management, and information and communication technology (ICT) linkages with both suppliers and customers. There are a total of five critical factors for effective business value chains. For example, an effective business value chain is influenced by how well production and delivery systems are managed. In addition, how well a manufacturer can manage its operation is influenced by customers with effective information and communication infrastructures.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The five identified factors can be used as a checklist for planning and\/or monitoring the effectiveness of a business value chain. The findings also helps develop a new initiative to be undertaken by Thailand's Department of Industrial Work when attempting to strengthen business value chains within various industrial clusters.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The findings underline the need to focus on data harmonization and to adapt ICT standards, such as Control Objectives for Information and related Technology COBIT and Projects in Controlled Environments PRINCE for data sharing and software development, to promote supplier audits when sustaining a business value chain.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/02635571011008407","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,1,23]],"date-time":"2010-01-23T07:00:52Z","timestamp":1264230052000},"page":"63-77","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Critical factors for an effective business value chain"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"110","author":[{"given":"Pekka","family":"Kess","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kris M.Y.","family":"Law","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Rapee","family":"Kanchana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Kongkiti","family":"Phusavat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022021619435526800_b2","unstructured":"Blackburn, J., Kropp, D. and Millen, R.
