Description
A customer-centric culture provides focus and direction for the organization, ensuring that exceptional value will be offered to customers - this, in turn, results in enhanced market performance. Unfortunately, caught up in the daily economic and competitive pressures of running complex and fast-changing businesses, managers may lose sight of customers' desires. And, consequently, customer experiences often fall far short of expectations.

The book is a state-of-the-art guide to designing, implementing, and evaluating a customer value strategy in service, technology, and information-based organizations.
