    Author: Vantrappen H.
    Journal: Long Range Plann; 1992 Feb; 25(1):53-62. PubMed ID: 10118381.
    Abstract:
    Much of the strategic preoccupation of senior managers in the 1990s is focusing on the creation of customer value. Companies are seeking competitive advantage by streamlining the three processes through which they interact with their customers: product creation, order handling and service assurance. 'Micro-strategy' is a term which has been coined for the trade-offs and decisions on where and how to streamline these three processes. The article discusses micro-strategies applied by successful companies.
