Dr Conti’s theme was Approaches to Achieving Sustainable Excellence. Abstract: In the era of internet based competition the traditional business models where value is creating through a push mode by touching the products and services at various stages of organisational activity is no longer appropriate.
Customers are now truly in the driving seat and the flow of innovation is more geared towards softer perspectives that create unique and individualised experiences rather than seeking to create a competitive impact through fulfilling basic utilitarian and even hedonic needs and requirements.
