Pressures of competitive forces have enhanced production process changes, supercharged by shortening product/technology development lifecycles, decreasing delivery times, reducing inventories and increasing customer satisfaction. Today's complex, globalised organisations focus on procurement, HRM, technological development and infrastructure. Integrating communication and increasing cooperation between production chain members is essential for managing value chains, critical for organisational survival and growth. Progressive organisations should cover physical as well as cyber market space. IJVCM reflects and explores these issues and developments in value chain management.

Topics covered include

Value chain strategies, planning, design, development, analysis and applications
Technological interventions in value chains
Information and communication technologies
Performance metrics
Innovation, product development
Supply chain management, logistics and distribution channel design
Agile and lean manufacturing
Value/relationship management, trust, partnerships, strategic alliances
Knowledge network management
Managing human resources, communication

Demand forecasting/planning, order fulfilment, quick response time
Offering value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large
Network design and routing

The objectives of IJVCM are to establish an effective channel of communication between policy makers, corporate bodies, practitioners, academic, research institutions and government agencies, and to understand how enterprises harness new opportunities to create value, reinvent value chains and alter industry structures.
