Meaning and Values A |
|
| Until the middle of the 20th century, money was the primary motivator for a substantial majority of employees, worldwide. Employers did not demonstrate that they really wanted anything more than do-what-you-are-told-labor in return for money paid in wages and salaries. And workers were satisfied to do the work and then periodically demand more money. |

|
| Today, the basis of competitive advantage has changed. The dominant company in any industry is not necessarily the one with the greatest capital, the most efficient factories, or the best access to raw materials. Instead, winning companies are those with the richest knowledge ?knowledge about their customers, potential customers, suppliers, technologies, and competitors. |
