This is book treats the syntax and semantics of e3value and explains the various analyses that can be done with the e3value software tools. E3value is a language to build and analyse business models of value networks. Software tools to edit and analyze e3value are available from our web site www.thevalueengineers.nl.
Network organizations have existed as long as businesses have existed. Every business, no matter what technology it uses, interacts with a network of suppliers, customers, partners, sponsors, regulators, malicious actors, competitors, and other actors. For example, Ikea is part of a value network of designers, manufacturers, suppliers of raw materials, logistics companies and others who cooperate to deliver furniture to customers. Without its value network, Ikea has nothing to offer. Hence, we view its offer of furniture as an offering made by its entire value network.
E3value is a language and set of analysis techniques to represent and analyse value networks. A value model is a representation of
a value network in e3value . A value model does not represent processes but economic exchanges in which two or more parties exchange something of value for them. It does not represent when and how these exchanges take place. It represents
• who exchanges what value objects with whom;
• which customer needs are answered by this, and
• what revenue and expenses are generated by this for each actor.
A value model represents a value network during a period of time, called the contract period. The exchanges among actors represented in the value model are agreements about what objects of economic value the actors will exchange during the contract period. e3value represents just enough to be able to make revenue estimations and net present value estimates for actors in the network. To do this you annotate a model with estimates of market size, number of customer needs and the monetary value of object exchanges among actors. Our supporting tools can then compute assessment of commercial viability and well-being for a contract period, and can do net present value flow estimations for a sequence of contract
periods.
