Managing Innovation Through a Business Model in the Food Industry

Every enterprise, regardless of the type of value it creates (product or service), uses different types of processes for the day-to-day execution of normal activities.Thus, we can have production processes, marketing processes, financial processes, and control processes.In simple terms, processes represent interconnected activities carried out to obtain a specific product or service, or a desired result.When we talk about a specific product or service, we refer to a production process in which input raw materials are transformed into output finished products, such as in the food industry, which is part of the meat industry.However, for an enterprise to function normally, or rather, to ensure the conditions for the functioning of the production process, there must be other processes that do not directly participate in the activities for obtaining the product or service but create all the necessary conditions.For example, to procure raw materials for production, there must be a procurement process.For the procurement process to be able to order raw materials, there must be a budget approved through a procurement approval process.To design the actual product or service, there must be a market research process, a process for communicating with customers, etc.We see that the results of one process represent inputs to another process within the same organization in the food industry.These results are not always physical products or pieces processed during production but can also be information that is important for the process that will use them further.Therefore, we can say that the process represents a group of activities that use resources in the form of people, systems, and tools to transform the input into the process itself into a result with added value for the food sector using the benefits of business models.It is worth mentioning that the process is a sequential set of activities, or subprocesses, aimed at achieving a specific goal or obtaining a specific product, service, or information.
