George Day Book Offers New Insights

A new book by Wharton professor George Day provides up-to-date information on sources of competitive advantage and outlines the Internet’s influence on the way companies operate and connect to customers.

The Market Driven Organization: Understanding, Attracting, and Keeping Valu-able Customers (Free Press) is a companion to Day’s 1990 book, Market Driven Strategy. The book focuses on how technology allows companies to better understand their markets and form stronger relationships with their most valuable customers. It also explains what makes an organization effective in the face of rapidly changing customer expectations and unpredictable competitive realities.

Day provides in-depth examples from companies such as IBM and Wal-Mart, which use management innovations and information technology to continuously stay ahead of competitors. Day is Wharton’s Geoffrey T. Boisi Professor of Marketing and Director of the Huntsman Center for Global Competition and Innovation.
