Sy's Fish Value Chain and Dualities
For this purpose we use again the Sy's Fish example [13] of subsection 2.2. The
resulting Sy's Fish value chain and duality models are depicted in Figure 5.
The value chain begins with the
payroll process
which receives some
cash
to realize a transfer. By the duality relationship of the economic events
cash
disbursement
and
labor acquisition
, the economic resource
cash
is decre-
mented and
labor
is incremented. The resulting labor is then input for the busi-
ness processes
buying
,
transport
,
cleaning
,and
selling
.
Buying
transfers
labor
and additionally
cash
to
fish
, by the dual economic
events
payment for fish
and
fish obtained
.
Truck acquisition
is another
transfer that turns
cash
into a
truck
that is leased by the duality of
payment
for truck
and
truck lease
.
Transport
uses all acquired resource -
labor
,
fish
,and
truck
- to deliver the
fish to the company. The
transport
is done by the company itself, so it does not
involve an outside actor. Accordingly, it is a transformation process that uses,
but does not consume its economic resources in the economic event
transport
in
. The dual economic event
transport out
results again in the
fish
,thistime
at the right place.
Cleaning
is another non-consuming transformation process
that receives the
fish
and turns it into a cleaned
fish
.
The final transfer in the value chain is
selling
.
Labor
and
fish
are given in
the
fish sale
in order to take
cash
as result of the
payment
.
