Book Overview

Doing business in today's economy and surviving requires a new paradigm. Who are at the center of this new approach to doing business? CONSUMERS. In the past, power struggles raged between suppliers and distributors. Recently, both parties awakened to the fact that neither of them has the ultimate power . . . it now resides solely with the consumer This valuable book will show you what this change means and how--and why--businesses must adapt to succeed. Handy charts, tables, case vignettes, and illustrations make the information easy to understand, and fascinating sidebar quotations from well-known leaders of various industries--Sam Walton, Jack Welch, and many more--give the book a unique and memorable flavor.
