This book brings together, for the first time, two very powerful concepts: customer value and competitive planning. Together they create a powerful tool that will generate breakthrough strategies for market dominance. The previously fashionable metrics of customer satisfaction have proven to be poor predictors of business performance, whereas the linkages between customer value and performance measures such as market share and profitability have been identified and documented. Value has been shown to be one of the best predictors of market share and customer loyalty available. Developing a system to harness value as a competitive weapon is an essential next step. This book presents a competitive planning template that enables organizations to actually harness their value creation and delivery systems to enhance their market performance.
Authors R. Eric Reidenbach and Reginald W. Goeke.
