DescriptionBusiness now operates in an environment which is increasingly dynamic and challenging: globalisation, falling tariff barriers, all-embracing technology, information and communication sciences, excess capacity and product customisation expectations from customers are rapidly becoming norms. A new formula for success is apparent among the successful companies. An organisation's competitive advantage is now based on a new set of distinctive capabilities that have evolved from their unique relationships with suppliers and customers, their understanding and management of technology and the creation and use of knowledge. This unit considers this new business environment and explores the new concepts that it has brought with it. It considers the central role of the customer in formulating product-service strategies through the medium of the demand chain. It also explores the intra and inter-organisational relationships that are now important to business success.
