Global competition requires managing Value rather than individual products or brands. This fosters customer loyalty, and provides a solid basis for relationship marketing.

They play a key role for devising win-win strategies, not only with customers, but also with competitors. - The Value Matrix is a practical tool for understanding the product s positioning, analyzing its competition, setting prices and developing strategy. It aims at achieving an optimal balance between customer loyalty and product mix profitability. - The Value Life Cycle illustrates how Value acts as a force that constantly changes revenue, providing insight for developing strategies in each phase of the product s life cycle. - Analogies with physics illustrate how policy constraints create resistance to sales velocity, thereby determining the rate at which a firm advances towards its financial and marketing goals. - The strategy for pricing business services applies Value to balance supply with demand; this leads to increased revenue. - The marketing approach set forth unifies product portfolio and inventory management with Value-based pricing for maximizing income.
