Description Australian businesses are increasingly working as components of value chain networks and the key focus of this unit is to introduce the concepts of what has been identified as the New Economy Business Model. It explores the concepts using examples and case studies. The changes to facilitate this are not just sales and marketing driven, but encompass design and development, production and distribution in a holistic business model. Products and services now have multiple applications and business organisations are redefining their core capabilities and processes. In other words \"value chain networks\" are competing with each other. At the industry level value chains can be seen as business network structures, or confederations, that are developing from traditional corporations.
