Customer-Dominant Logic

This book provides a structured overview of customer-dominant logic and formulates fundamental principles that form the basis for a realignment of customer-oriented corporate management. Customer-dominant logic is an innovative marketing logic that consistently places the customer at the center of all business activities. This requires a fundamental shift in perspective, where the integration of the provider with the customer takes precedence over the integration of the customer with the provider.

Based on the principles of customer-dominant logic, the authors present their own and new systematic management approach. They introduce a "customer-dominant management", detailing all necessary phases of a management process. Customer-dominant management aims to realize both customer and company goals through the establishment of a partnership with value-creating offerings in the customer ecosystem.
