This book explores how the network sustainable business model is being built in response to the significant changes that are increasing strategic effectiveness and operating efficiency. Incorporating the new post-COVID19 digital landscape, it synthesizes the outputs of practitioner oriented publications and integrates these with classic concepts in operations strategy to provide a unique perspective on value generally, and the value chain network as a part of the business model in the Industry 4.0/5.0 environment specifically.

Including illustrative case examples and pursuing a unique workbook approach, each chapter is built around a set of diagrams, making the concepts more accessible for graduate business students and practitioners alike.

Presents how to build a network sustainable business model Provides a synthesis of classic concepts and emerging trends related to value chain networks Explores value chain networks as a part of business model in the Industry 4.0/5.0 environment
