Value Capture in Disintegrated Value Chains / Innovation und Entrepreneurship (PDF)

Using cooperative game theory, this book shows how
bargaining structure affects the distribution of value among the constituent
firms of the value chain. Results show that positions in the bargaining
structure most conducive to value capture are those where large complementarity
gains are realized and split, ideally, among a small number of negotiators.
Further, leveraging case studies from the aviation and home appliance
industries the author suggests that the bargaining structure can be shaped
through by architecture of the value chain and, in turn, through the
architecture of the product, and the action of powerful firms to optimize value
capture.
