Property developers realize the need of the better way for handling of its' business partners relationship in order to gain competitive advantage and survival in the market. This dissertation proposes a Production Network Cluster Model (PNC Model) that can structure / workflow realign out of a group of firms in Property Development Industry of Hong Kong to improve the efficiency of the production function, under the defined circumstances of organization that encourages strategic alliance among key actors to share cost, risk, and profit of business operation.

The survey data is further polarized by Quality Function Deployment Method (QFD) that enables to translate the intangible voice of the sponsor for the requirement on capability and value contribution of strategic partner. QFD is only a unit of measure regulating inputs flowing into the system in a way used to transform into activities that create value to customer. According to the Empirical Driven Research Paradigm as proposed by Chung W C [2001] knowledge in case study can be captured to guide the formulation of an intervention strategy.

A PNC model is proposed by replication of best practice for strategic alliance strategy of a small business unit that enables to articulate perceived value from customer, to perform activities that generate value for customer and profit of business operation. In summary the PNC model is a tool to develop strategic alliance strategy that allows organizations to reap the benefits of vertical integrated organization without associated bureaucratic costs. |
