Abstract: Real estate plays a
fundamental connecting role in the value chain. This research addresses the application of
the value chain concept to how real estate facilitates the connection of inputs to the
value creation process to deliver goods and services to consumers. This research provides
the critical linkages in the vocabulary of strategic management. Once identified, the
critical real estate value chain connections can lead to insights resulting in superior
decision making. In settings emphasizing transparency, the place and space of origin and
destination become more important. While a predominant amount of commerce is conducted in
tangible contexts, the hypercompetitive conditions of such commerce and the proliferating
substitutes for the environments in which such commerce may occur places ever more
priority on the role of real estate value chain connections.
