Developing a customer orientation

Customer orientation is a fine ideal. Making it a reality is difficult for many organizations. Provides a framework to guide management through the process of building a customer‐driven philosophy. It is hoped that by means of such a framework it will be possible to evaluate an organization′s customer orientation profile, and to provide the basis for a comparison of interorganizational approaches.
