Abstract: Abstract Value chain analysis is a seeking tool for determining competitive advantage. It uses systematic methods to examine the activities and relationships of the enterprise to find the competitive advantage resources. Benchmarking is an evaluation of their own businesses and the mean to study other organizations. In this paper the value chain analysis and benchmarking can help managers to know which performance measures are most critical in determining their firm’s overall success. They are important for cost management.
