Where are the opportunities to enhance key areas of governance and public service delivery? What are the promising practices to strengthen supply and mobilize demand for good governance and service delivery? What are the emerging lessons from recent experience? The author explains with real cases how ICT can be deployed to improve public sector efficiency and accountability for resource management; improve access and quality of public services for citizens; enhance transparency and reduce costs of government-business transactions, support entrepreneurship, attract private investment, and reduce the burden of regulation; and enhance the effectiveness of political oversight and policy institutions.

Innovation can be a challenging subject. At its worst, it is a meaningless buzzword. At its best, it is a means of driving differentiating value for an organization. But how can innovation be consistently achieved in the context of a client–service provider relationship? This publication provides a practical framework, with clear supporting recommendations, for clients and service providers to work together to overcome challenges and successfully manage, develop, and deliver innovation as a key part of their ongoing service relationship. Real-world experience, guidance, and examples are provided to assist and enable organizations to gain additional value with their service partners through delivery of innovation by design rather than by accident. Although targeted at service relationships between clients and external service providers, the content and recommendations are equally applicable and relevant for enterprises driving innovation internally or as part of a wider ecosystem.

Customer value is an overused and mis-understood term. Chris Ross said, ÒThere's a strong argument for changing the term 'marketing' and renaming it 'value creation'.Ó Companies fail to create value as well as they could because tools of customer value are not known. The author corrects this in simple steps by defining customer value, how it builds loyalty, market share, and profitability; and how customer value can be measured and created. This book also addresses managing steps such as a customer strategy, breaking silos, inter-departmental focus on the customer, measuring customer value added, circle of promises, customer-centric circles, bill of rights, total customer value management. Remember, if you create value for others, they will create value for you!

Whether it is the turnaround of a sports team to win a championship, bettering a community, remediation of business, or adoption and adaption to digital business, it is having us do things differently which brings sustainable change. This was seen throughout 2020 during the COVID-19 global pandemic. People from around the world stood up and helped each other, shared their time, goods, skills, and expertise which collectively crafted and shaped our response to COVID. Our environment was changed, capacities and capabilities implemented, behaviors emerged, and outcomes were managed. Interests and values were aligned and as empowered individuals having ownership with pride in who we are and what we do, we adopted and adapted. Knowing the issue, the importance to us, what we needed to do, and where to get help, enabled us to better ourselves and those around us. For the decisions made, we empowered and supported with variations to circumstances as required of us. This book provides the hands-on of “fixing the pipes and helping people” to capacity and capability build for the crafting and shaping of the emergent behaviors needed through our aligned interest and values with the empowered emotional ownership: “I do good work, change is coming, help me with the change, and I can do more.”

The 21st century business environment demands more analysis and rigor in marketing decision making. Increasingly, marketing decision making resembles design engineering-putting together concepts, data, analyses, and simulations to learn about the marketplace and to design effective marketing plans. While many view traditional marketing as art and some view it as science, the new marketing increasingly looks like engineering (that is, combining art and science to solve specific problems). Marketing Engineering is the systematic approach to harness data and knowledge to drive effective marketing decision making and implementation through a technology-enabled and model-supported decision process. (For more information on Excel-based models that support these concepts, visit DecisionPro.biz.) We have designed this book primarily for the business school student or marketing manager, who, with minimal background and technical training, must understand and employ the basic tools and models associated with Marketing Engineering. We offer an accessible overview of the most widely used marketing engineering concepts and tools and show how they drive the collection of the right data and information to perform the right analyses to make better marketing plans, better product designs, and better marketing decisions. What's New In the 2nd Edition While much has changed in the nearly five years since the first edition of Principles of Marketing Engineering was published, much has remained the same. Hence, we have not changed the basic structure or contents of the book. We have, however Updated the examples and references. Added new content on customer lifetime value and customer valuation methods. Added several new pricing models. Added new material on "reverse perceptual mapping" to describe some exciting enhancements to our Marketing Engineering for Excel software. Provided some new perspectives on the future of Marketing Engineering. Provided better alignment between the content of the text and both the software and cases available with Marketing Engineering for Excel 2.0.

This open access book discusses service design capabilities in innovation processes, and provides a framework that guides design students, practitioners and researchers towards a better understanding of operational aspects of service design processes. More specifically, it revisits service designers’ capabilities in light of the new roles that have opened up in innovation processes on different scales. After years of being inadequately defined, the professional profile of service designers is now taking shape. Today private and public institutions recognize service designers as essential contributors to their innovation and development processes. What are the capabilities that characterize a service designer? These essential capabilities are what service designers should acquire in their education and can sell when looking for a job.
