What is the only thing a company has that its
competitors do not have? What can a company invest in
that its competitors cannot replicate? Information.
It's the new competitive edge. Capitalizing on the
information a company owns about its customers,
suppliers, and partners is now the value proposition for
sustainable long-term growth.

Authors Hurd and Nyberg go inside companies to see the value
proposition in practice. Combining case studies and analysts'
insights with common sense and surprisingly simple ideas for
growth, The Value Factor shows how companies transform
information into a competitive asset. Hurd and Nyberg have access
to some of the top companies in every industry and from around the
world. In this book, they share their unique perspective on what
the innovators are doing to get ahead and stay ahead
in today's tough business environment and how top
companies are meeting challenges and turning them into growth
opportunities.
