讲座内容简介:


In a traditional company/customer relationship, firms manage and perfect their marketing and their operations within the model of episodic sales, but they are inherently limited by the lack of connectivity to their customers.Traditional episodic interactions between customers and firms usually require customers to invest significant effort in figuring out a solution to their needs, then requesting and receiving the product or service. Moreover, there often exists a gap between what the customer wants and what the firm provides. This gap might be a temporal gap (the customer must wait) or could be a gap between what the customer wants and what she receives. A firm that is able to move from episodic interactions with its customers to a connected relationship overcomes these shortfalls. In this talk, I will explain how connected technologies allow for new user experiences and reshape industry structure.
