CREATING VALUE FOR STAKEHOLDERS
A good strategist must learn how to think carefully about the creation of value for customers, suppliers, employees, communities, and shareholders. This expansive view is at the heart of our idea about value creation. You can use this idea to assess and integrate what you have learned in other courses and disciplines.
While every disciplinary perspective is about some piece of the value creation process in the more holistic sense, each pays special attention to a specific part of the process. One of the tasks of the strategy curriculum is to help you put these pieces together (Figure 1).
