, (Level 1) Discussion Questions
1. (LO 1.1) Describe the primary activities in the value chain for your college or
university. In your opinion, which primary activities create the most value?
Suggested Solution: Answers will vary. Universities admit students (as inputs)
and use their resources (curriculum, faculty, buildings, computers, and so on) to
create a job-ready, educated graduate (the output). Arguably, the school creates
value (as shown in Exhibit 1.1). If it is not creating value in one form or the other, it
probably will not survive.
1. INBOUND LOGISTICS are the activities associated with receiving and storing raw
materials and other partially completed materials, and distributing those
materials to manufacturing divisions when and where they are needed.
Universities hire faculty and faculty support, construct classrooms and
faculty offices, create online teaching infrastructure, construct housing
(where appropriate), etc.
2. OPERATIONS are the activities that transform inputs into finished goods and
services.
Professors and instructors develop curricula, create degree programs,
instruct and assess students for performance.
3. OUTBOUND LOGISTICS are the activities that warehouse and distribute the finished
goods to customers.
Placement services, job fairs, employer relations, etc., help to place
graduating students.
4. MARKETING AND SALES ACTIVITIES identify the needs and wants of customers to
attract them to the company’s products and then buy them.
Universities market and advertise their degree programs and university
services to prospective and current students.
5. SERVICE ACTIVITIES provide support to customers after the products and services
are sold to them. Service activities include warranty repairs, parts, instruction
manuals, and phone or internet support.
Alumni programs and placement programs continue to support students
after they have graduated.
