Abstract This paper introduces a new approach: Value Chain Thinking or VCT. VCT involves chain members collaborating to understand, create, deliver and share value as defined by shoppers and consumers. The aim of collaboration is that the value chain improves its effectivenes(maximising the opportunities for creating value) and its efficiency (creating and delivering that value at least cost and with minimum wastage). In this way, collaboration increases the size of the pie, and so chain members collectively can increase the size of each of their own slices without needing to reduce someone else's. VCT increases chain members' incomes by sharing the higher returns which come from: (1) Increasing revenue into the chain through understanding market opportunities, and cooperating to focus on creating and delivering what these opportunities require; (2) Reducing waste by tracing and tackling the root causes of waste across the chain; and (3) Everyone being a better supplier to their customers (more reliable and more consistent), and so avoiding the need to compete with other suppliers on price alone. The paper also provides case studies on which VCT can be applied and also tips on how to apply this new approach.

Abstract The paper provides a step-by-step guide on how to perform value chain analysis. It also includes guidance on how to choose promising chains and products. Then, it offers practical advice on conducting consumer research and interviews; analysing data; converting analysis into recommendations; and finally reporting back to chain members and other stakeholders. At each step, the paper gives tips based on the researchers' experience from the many projects they have delivered and mentored, and they encourage the reader to refer constantly to this manual throughout the work for a more robust and impressive results.
