Opis

What is the only thing a company has that its competitors do not have? What can a company invest in that its competitors cannot replicate? Information. It's the new competitive edge. Capitalizing on the information a company owns about its customers, suppliers, and partners is now the value proposition for sustainable long-term growth.

Authors Hurd and Nyberg go inside companies to see the value proposition in practice. Combining case studies and analysts' insights with common sense and surprisingly simple ideas for growth, The Value Factor shows how companies transform information into a competitive asset. Hurd and Nyberg have access to some of the top companies in every industry and from around the world. In this book, they share their unique perspective on what the innovators are doing to get ahead and stay ahead in today's tough business environment and how top companies are meeting challenges and turning them into growth opportunities.

What is the only thing a company has that its competitors do not have? What can a company invest in that its competitors cannot replicate?  Information. It s the new competitive edge.

Praise for The Value Factor

" It′s called ′The Information Age′ for a reason. Information, even more than capital assets, products, or brands, will be the best source of sustainable competitive advantage. In this book, Nyberg and Hurd have succeeded in outlining a vision and a plan for putting that information to work in ways that drop directly to the bottom line. Better read it if you plan to do any business in the 21st century."
