12 cose che ciascuno di noi dovrebbe capire sulla tecnologia.

La tecnologia è in grado di cambiare il nostro modo di vivere, di pensare, e di essere. Siamo pronti ad accettarlo?

Tech is more important than ever, deeply affecting culture, politics and society. Given all the time we spend with our gadgets and apps, it’s essential to understand the principles that determine how tech affects our lives.

McKinsey: Attribuire il giusto prezzo alle interazioni con i clienti

AICEX: Questo post mostra in maniera chiara come ogni Touch Point abbia un suo prezzo, o genericamente valore. Fermo restando il principio generale le risultanze possono naturalmente essere diverse se si valutano contesti diversi.

Consumers are willing to pay more for choice in their interactions, yet most companies remain perplexed about which ones their customers really want—and how much to charge for them.

How can companies best engage with their customers to offer them new experiences, along with add-ons to existing products or services they have already paid for? Continua a leggere “McKinsey: Attribuire il giusto prezzo alle interazioni con i clienti”
