Abstract

In an era of intense high-speed competition, offering to the marketplace a sustainable and profitable value proposition that effectively leverages a firm’s financial, human, and operational resources is critical to both established and emerging businesses.

Or should it strive to shape the future of the business environment within which it operates by offering innovative product–service bundles?
