Value creation strategies

Value creation means creating better value for business owners. Although value creation shares the same principles as productivity improvement, i.e. getting more output by using same or less resources, but it is encompasses more. The final measurement for value creation is how much more value has been created over business lifespan vs productivity measurements which are typically more short term in nature, e.g. value added per employee.
