Theoretical conceptions and literature review
The relationship between employee/
employer, company/society, and company/
environment, among other aspects that involve
organizations, become elements that merit a
detailed analysis, where not only profits are
created, but βValueβ in such a way that they
guarantee permanent and long-term benefits.
This is one of the most prominent challenges
organizations face today. Value generation became
an element that determines the success or failure
of any organization (Crispieri, 2019).
However, it is necessary to ask about these

is a micro value driver? How do these elements
impact value management? How does value
management impact organizations? These and
other questions will be addressed in this theoretical
section that offers a brief description and theoretical
conception of value drivers for value management
and generation.
Following the perspective proposed by
GarcΓa (2003), value drivers are those elements
that motivate the company to achieve higher
goals and objectives and simultaneously commit
the company to creating value. However, to use
these drivers, each organization must understand
them as a valid control tool for the interpretation,

MartΓnez et al., 2022).
Based on these statements, JimΓ©nez and Rojas

the stability and positioning of an organization
regardless of its size. For them, these analysis
tools become essential elements of comparing
and measuring trends. According to the authors,
all entrepreneurs should understand the need to
manage based on plans and goals. To do this, they
need to understand and use value drivers as support
instruments for decision-making, the analysis of
information sources in the design of strategies,
and the calculation and orientation of the company
towards the creation of value.
In concordance with these debates, Narea and
GuamΓ‘n (2021) have argued that value drivers make

condition of the company, thus facilitating the
making of appropriate decisions that contribute
to the creation of business value. Furthermore,
according to PinzΓ³n et al. (2022), value drivers are
indicators that can show the essential components
of the business operation, elements that, due to their

In this way, value drivers play a fundamental

lies in the union of efforts in interpreting value

business value (PinzΓ³n et al., 2022).
