Abstract
Purpose: To synthesis value creation and value capture in a supply chain context. Design/methodology/approach: A series of propositions are developed from the previous literature and integrated into a holistic framework for value creation and capture. An agribusiness supply chain case study is subsequently used to empirically verify the unified theory. Findings: The results identify the core value creation drivers and enablers, and value appropriation mediators that determine the net value capture of a supply chain. Insights from the exploratory case study refine and verify the propositions and associated framework. Two alternative value pathways are identified, internal opportunism or collaborative co-creation. Originality: Identification of the symbiotic relationship of value creation and value capture advances our knowledge beyond the current discrete conceptualisation. By drawing upon value theory, an exploratory framework unifies these concepts, resulting in novel implications for management decision making.
