The 21st Century takes business a long way from the times of
Adam Smith's statement:-
"Consumption is the sole end and
purpose of all production and the interest of the producer ought
to be attended to, only so far as may be necessary for promoting
that of the customer. The maxim is so perfectly self-evident
that it would be absurd to attempt to prove it"
Today success or failure in the market place is determined
by the buyer of the product and by competition.
The trouble is that firms want to continue standard products
when it is clear to everyone but them that the customer wants
something quite different.
Traditional business strategy offered:
Certain measure of predictability, three,
five or even ten year forecasting of business development.

Production of goods the core focus

Concentration on adaptability and responsiveness
Strategy based on access, control and manipulation of information
The customer has to be the focus
