Abstract
The ubiquitous globalization, which opens up new markets, often with local content requirements and different labor cost levels, forces enterprises to organize their added value within global networks. The tendency to concentrate on the companies’ core competences challenges the companies further not only to organize their different sites but also to consider their partners and suppliers. The emerging value added networks have to be configured, operated, optimized and dynamically reconfigured. This article presents an approach for the configuration and evaluation of these value added networks based on Business Capabilities and Value Added Modules. Therefore the needed Business Capabilities to achieve the intended added value are matched with the Business Capabilities provided by the different nodes of the network and different network alternatives are developed and assessed to find efficient configurations.
