12. Encyclopedia Britannica http://corporate.britannica.com The Encyclopædia Britannica was born in 18th-century Scotland amid the great intellectual ferment known as the Scottish Enlightenment. According to one chronicler of Britannica history, Edinburgh in the mid-1700s was "a city on the verge of a golden age, a center of learning and a home of writers, thinkers, and philosophers.“ The first edition of the Britannica was published one section at a time, over a three-year period, beginning in 1768. In 1990 Encyclopædia Britannica found itself in a precarious competitive environment. CD-ROMs and the internet had become the study tools of choice for students and others. Microsoft’s Encarta CD-ROM and IBM’s CD-ROM joint venture World Book were attracting Britannica’s customers. The result book sales fell 83% between 1990-1997.

That year the first version of the Britannica on CD-ROM was also published. According to a company official: “we’re reinventing our business. We are not in the book business.

A Holistic Marketing Orientation And Customer Value VALUE EXPLORATION VALUE EXPLORATION Because value flows within and across markets that are themselves dynamic and competitive, companies need a well-defined strategy for value exploration. Developing such a strategy requires an understanding of the relationships and interactions among three spaces: (1) the customer's cognitive space; (2) the company's competence space; and (3) the collaborator's resource space. The customer's cognitive space reflects existing and latent needs and includes dimensions such as the need for participation, stability, freedom, and change

41. Defining the Corporate Mission According to Peter Drucker, it is time to ask some fundamental questions. What is our business? Who is the customer? What is of value to the customer? What will our business be? What should our business be? Successful companies continuously raise these questions and answer them thoughtfully and thoroughly. 1-

43. 1- Organizations develop mission statements to share with managers, employees, and (in many cases) customers. A clear, thoughtful mission statement provides employees with a shared sense of purpose, direction, and opportunity.
