Business Web

aka Value Chain (with more focus on it being a loose EcoSystem/Market of value-creating activities rather than a centrally managed Supply Chain)

Soho Dojo says (summarizing Don Tapscott's Digital Capital) Business webs are fluid congregations or collaborations of businesses that come together loosely or in highly structured networks to accomplish shared agendas. Business webs are partner networks - producers, suppliers, service providers, infrastructure companies and customers - linked digitally to produce shared wealth. Whatever their form - Agora, aggregation, Value Chain, alliance or distributive network - these digital networks challenge traditional approaches to Management and Business Strategy, and perhaps ultimately even the roles of business and government.
