Abstract
This chapter elaborates on value modelling for exploring strategy solutions. Examples of generic and specific strategy solutions – comprising strategies, objectives, goals, mission, etc, of a business – are presented and their core elements extracted. Among available graphical modelling techniques, value modelling is examined as a main perspective for exploring strategy solutions. Despite low attention for this perspective in the context of information systems, examples of value modelling techniques are found in widely different fields of inquiry. In relation to the core elements of strategy solutions, two key differences among the candidates are identified and discussed. The first difference concerns the focus on particular values vs. general factors. The second deals with the focus on linear hierarchies vs. feedback loops.
