內容簡介: |
In this title, Doc Searls maps out the implications of a
customer-driven business revolution that''s flipping the paradigm of
supply and demand, and putting consumers in charge. Who owns the
marketplace? Is it business - or the customer? According to Doc
Searls, widely-read journalist and blogger and co-author of "The
Cluetrain Manifesto", customers are on the verge of becoming truly
free and independent actors in the marketplace with the power of
telling vendors what they want, how they want it, and where and
when they should be able to get it. This imperative shift in
customer power will alter the balance of the market and usher in
what Searls calls the "intention economy". In this book, Searls
lays out a map for an economy driven by consumer intent, where
vendors can - and must - respond to the actual intentions of
customers, instead of simply vying for customer attention in hopes
of selling them what they might want. In the intention economy,
individual power increases, demand drives supply, and information
precedes money. Only the vendors and organizations that are ready
for the change will survive, and thrive. In fact, says Searls, this
paradigm shift has already taken place in many concrete ways - for
example, how "vendor relationship management" is supplanting
"customer relationship management". And there are more indications
on the horizon that the tipping point is not far behind. "The
Intention Economy" maps out the implications - both immediate and
far-reaching - for business and the world.
