Profiting From Services and Solutions textbook

Leaders of product-oriented companies are coming to understand and realize the benefits of offering services and solutions to their customers. Yet, few executive grasp the extent to which they must change their organizations in order to dramatically grow services and solutions.

Featuring vivid examples from leading companies such as DuPont, IBM, Siemens, Cisco and more, readers will come away with a clear understanding of how they can steadily transition and overcome the challenges of transforming their product-centric business models into model services and solutions businesses.

The book is available for purchase through Business Expert Press and also on Amazon.com.
