Abstract
The five point Hughes Value Creation Model for Organizational Competitive Advantage or the Five Values Model draws on many fields of study including psychology, education, human resource management, human resource development, strategic technology management, management, and engineering. All of these fields intersect within the workplace, primarily through people and technology development. Understanding the links between people and technology development and value creation allows organizations to extend their competitive advantage in ways not previously considered. People and technology embody the value chain as organizations seek to succeed in a global marketplace. However, the need for this model is determined by its users since no organization is the same. This model represents a comprehensive, theoretical, yet operational model that can be used to explain and illustrate value for organizations. It is robust, clear, easy to follow, and fills organizational needs. However, the need is determined by its users since no organization is the same.
