KANGTAO YE MIN LIU
Abstract This paper explores how Haier measures and manages the value creation behaviors of its business eco-platform by developing the Win-Win Value Added (WWVA) statement. The WWVA statement is a value management tool produced by Haier in response to the strategic trans-formation of the Internet of Things (IoT). The study shows that, by taking user value as the core,and the co-creation and sharing of stakeholders such as resource providers, micro-units and sup-ported platforms as the logic of value creation, the WWVA statement relaxes the basic assumptions of traditional accounting statements and makes up for the deficiencies of existing performance eval-uation tools. What's more, it also promotes the implementation of the ecological strategy, facili-tates the aggregation and cooperation of resource providers, and reinforces the incentive for em-ployees. Thus, the WWVA statement is more suitable for performance evaluation and value man-agement of eco-platform companies. This paper has a practical implication for companies applying new tools for value management in the Internet era.
