From the Paper:

"The concepts within the book is directly connected to the concepts of the changing nature of business as a result of rises within modern economic, social and political factors. The most evident of these two factors is the rise of globalization and information-technology. Globalization has resulted in an expansion of the competitive landscape, which means that companies must now fight a multi-front war within the majority of industries. Therefore, in order to compete they must devise strategies that allows them to respond to consumer bases, and flexibly address the changes within their industry. Information technology is another huge factor in current corporate culture, because it has created a more intelligent consumer class who looks to the internet to understand, connect and personalize products. As a result, companies now must use relationship management rather than direct sales as the strategy for retaining and satisfying their core consumer group. Both of these concepts are present within our textbook, which describes the needs of modern corporations as they change from being "internally facing" to "externally facing". This is a key point that is emphasized through "The Future of Competition" as well."
