'''Open Value Network(s) expand on Value Networks, by incorporating the possibility to open different processes and exchanges up to a broader base of volunteer, but reciprocated participants.''' 
[[Category:Open Company Formats]]
 
The Value Network approach seeks to add value to all exchanges in a Value Chain. Including voluntary or traditionally non-compensated participants in Open projects related to business webs.
 
The Open Value Network approach also seeks to create effective ways for many independent-actor and small group business ventures to create and use OpenValueNetwork models.

=Description=
 
David Bollier:
 
"Most commons tightly limit or prohibit the sale of their resources to markets except on stipulated
terms, lest market ambitions begin to unravel collective commitments. Open value networks have
no reservations about engaging with markets, but they do take active steps to maintain their
organizational and cultural integrity as commons-based peer producers. This means that OVNs
insist upon open, horizontal and large-scale cooperation and coordination so that everyone knows
what is going on. Using systems like Co-budget, OVNs seek to democratically manage shared
wealth and assets while allowing individual access, use, authorship and ownership of resources,
consistent with group needs. OVNs use a careful accounting of individual “inputs and outcomes”
via a common ledger system, and distribute rewards to participants based on their individual
contributions to the project.
 
OVN stress that while they may be legally nonprofits or for-profits, they are not functionally either,
in that they have no retained earnings or fixed assets. They instead function as “a flow-through
entity which is as formless as possible,” but which functions as a trust for its members, as outlined
by a “nondominium” agreement.
 
While still fairly rudimentary, OVNs represent a fascinating new
type of consensual governance/production regime, bound by contractual terms, that blends
commons principles and market activity."

The [[Value Network]] definition from the Wikipedia at
 
 
"'''Value networks (value webs), are complex sets of social and technical resources that work together via relationships to create value in the form of knowledge, intelligence, products, services or social good.''' Included in a company’s value networks are research, development, design, production, marketing, sales, and distribution - working interdependently to add to the overall worth of products and services. Companies also have external facing value networks where value is created from the relationships and interactions between organizations, its customers or recipients, intermediaries, stakeholders, complementors and suppliers. Value network principles apply equally well to public agencies, civil society organizations and other purposeful networks focused on creating economic or social good."
