I thought Human Resources played a bigger role in value chains.

Wait, isn't Procurement also a primary activity?

Totally agree with that!

Tiffiny 1 year ago

Operations, Marketing and Sales, and Inbound Logistics are the primary ones!

Stephaine 1 year ago

I’m pretty certain that Operations and Marketing and Sales are correct, but I’m torn between Inbound Logistics and Procurement for the third one.

Stephaine 1 year ago

I practiced a question like this, and I think Inbound Logistics is also a primary activity. But I'm confused about Procurement and Human Resources.

Micah 1 year ago

I feel like Marketing and Sales has to be one of them too, right? It seems essential for creating value.

Alpha 1 year ago

I think I remember that Operations is definitely one of the primary activities, but I'm not sure about the others.

Cassie 1 year ago

Operations, marketing, and procurement - those are the three primary activities I'm pretty sure about. I'll select those and move on to the next question.

Brittni 1 year ago

Okay, primary activities - that's things like production, distribution, sales, right? I think I can narrow this down, but I want to make sure I get it right.

Erin 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. Let me think through the primary activities - operations, logistics, marketing... I'll have to double-check my notes to be sure.

I'm pretty confident I know the primary activities in Porter's Value Chain, so I'll carefully review each option and select the three that fit.

I'm a bit confused on the different report options here. I'll need to review the details of each one to determine the best approach.

Aileen 1 year ago

Okay, I remember the Aviatrix service requires an AWS NAT Gateway, and it can integrate with DUO for MFA. I think those are the two best options here.

Pearlie 1 year ago

Hmm, the key here is the phrase "only if". I think the right answer has to specify the exact condition under which data subjects can correct inaccuracies.

I think it's related to heart rate changes, maybe reducing the heart rate could lower blood pressure, right?

I'll go with B, C, and E. I mean, it's not like they're going to trick us with something like 'Underwater Basket Weaving' as a primary activity, right?

Underwater Basket Weaving would definitely not be a primary activity in Porter's Value Chain.
