The research related to the development and value concept involves different areas of knowledge and is characterized by a temporal course associated with the genesis and evolution of economic systems. A significant number of studies in this area over the years has been directed to purely economic aspects, particularly with regards to the analysis of value creation by organizations. This article aims to revisit the concept of value through economic-social paradigm by using a literature review based on different disciplines that contribute to conceptually define the determinants of value creation. It was observed that corporate sustainability and operations engineering techniques have been widely studied in recent years, with sustainability being referenced as "intangible value", as well as credibility and organizational reputation. This research contributed verifying sustainability as one of the key concepts in the strategic agenda of organizations and an important guidance on value creation and maintaining long-term business.
