A chapter in Breaking Through, 2004, pp 1-7 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Customer focus is undeniably critical in helping enterprises to grow now and into the future. Research figures prove it; corporate experience demonstrates it; and managerial insight corroborates it. In today’s competitive environment, products and services — no matter how good or innovative they may be — can only produce short-lived rewards: they diminish in value over time, unlike customers who, with time, increase in value.2
