Unless senior management delivers on its commitment to provide reliable, timely, quality service to its VIP customers, many business opportunities will be lost. Instead of trying to be all things to all people, firms excel by providing offerings to customers they are best able to serve. Whom should we serve; and what offerings should we provide? are key questions underlying the strategic formulation process. Other cornerstone questions are presented to executives seeking to know and serve their customers better.","PeriodicalId":201151,"journal":{"name":"Executive Development","volume":"184 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124659331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Goes on to discuss a major emergent issue, which has implications for the everyday realities of course content and design, namely a cyclical view of the learning process. As a means of grounding theory in reality, concludes by exploring the rudiments of a particular Ashridge course, which uses this framework extensively to guide its development. Ultimately, the course is guided by the notion of “individually tailored learning”.","PeriodicalId":201151,"journal":{"name":"Executive Development","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116501423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
