Value Creation in a 'Non-Producing' Enterprise

Author

  • Omoregie, Uyiosa
Abstract
A widely-held proposition is that an enterprise does not create value until it commences production of goods or services for external customers for monetary profit. Another related proposition is that employees in a ‘non-producing’ enterprise, if remunerated, are paid 100 percent above the value of their labour – because the enterprise is not creating value. Counter arguments to these two propositions are presented. The purpose of a firm or business enterprise is discussed and the nature of ‘value’ is elaborated with a critique of the dominant marginal productivity theory of value.
