Read Online The Ends Game: How Smart Companies Stop Selling Products and Start Delivering Value (Management on the Cutting Edge) DOC
Rewrites the rules of commerce by pursuing outcomes rather than products; the seventh book in the Management on the Cutting Edge series comes from a definitive source--the MIT Sloan Management Review.Would you rather pay for healthcare or for better health?

Revenue models anchored on the ownership of products, they argue, are patently inferior.
