SUPPORT ACTIVITIES FOR THE VALUE CHAIN

The support activities that help improve a company's competitive advantage include:

1. Purchases: acquisition of supplies (resources) for the company.


Human Resources Management: everything related to hiring, recruitment,
training, development, payment and (if necessary) dismissal or termination of workers.
3. Technological development: it relates to the equipment, hardware, software, procedures and
technical knowledge used to help the company transform raw materials into
finished products.
4. Infrastructure: addresses the needs of the company and links its different parts, including
functions or departments such as planning, public affairs, government relations,
quality assurance, accounting, legal, finance, and general administration.
