N2 - In the computer industry we see dramatic reductions in the price of computers, driven by advances in technology and competitive forces pushing towards lower margins. Product life cycles are collapsing to months rather than years, giving companies less time to recover product development costs and increasing the pressure to rapidly and flawlessly commercialize new technology. We are constantly being challenged to improve on productivity throughout the enterprise. We continue reengineering business processes and eliminating steps, and over the past several years our attention has increasingly turned toward managing the value chain. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.
