The New Bottom Line (eBook, PDF)

Bridging the Value Gaps that are Undermining Your Business

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This radical, provocative and inspiring book explores a tectonic shift at the very heart of business. A shift that?s making the old bottom line of corporate profitability the servant of a new master: a new ?person-centric? bottom line of personal profitability or value ?in my life?. So what? No bottom line? No more profit? Of course not! Every organization must cover its costs. Every business has to make a profit to survive. The authors of The New Global Line remarkably show that the necessary requirements for doing so are changing, and why this transformation ? containing important elements of both evolution and revolution ? is under way, how it?s undermining the foundations of once-great businesses and brands, and how its throwing up huge new opportunities.

person-centric.

Why today's businesses cannot - or do not want to - meet a whole range of
crucial consumer needs.
2. Untapped Assets.
Why these same businesses continually neglect - and miss the value - of a
whole range of hugely powerful, personal assets.
3. The New Bottom Line.
How a need breed of businesses are connecting these value gaps to these
untapped assets...to transform the business landscape.
4. Trading agency.
How looking at markets, rather than products and services, from the buyer's

them more ingredients, takes value to a new level.
6. Passion partnership.
Why helping people reach personal fulfillment will be a massive new
business in its own right.

Why, and how, the new bottom line requires the emergence of completely new
business models - and why migrating towards the new bottom line is not a
matter of choice.
8. Let the customer drive your company - literally.
How moving from push to pull adds value while cutting costs.
9. Organize operations around your customer.
How the imperatives of customer convenience and corporate productivity
connect.
10. Build partnerships around your customer.
How the new bottom line involves complete supply chains and value networks,
not just individual companies.
11. Become a company that works for me.
How the demand for 'value in my life' affects the workplace as well as the
market place.
12. Make marketing a service.
How to make marketing effective - by freeing it from its seller-centric
bias.
13. A New Vision of Value.
Strategic choices; evolutionary strategies.
