lOMoARcPSD|24061318
Operational Excellence

sells its products and services
• Example: Apple
– Transformed old model of music distribution with
iTunes
– Constant innovations—iPod, iPhone, iPad, etc.

lOMoARcPSD|24061318
Customer and Supplier Intimacy

who purchase more

– Uses IT to foster an intimate relationship with its
customers, keeping track of preferences, etc.
• Close relationships with suppliers result in lower costs

– JC Penney uses IT to enhance relationship with
supplier in Hong Kong

Competitive Advantage

• Advantages over competitors
• Charging less for superior products, better performance,
and better response to suppliers and customers

because they know how to use information systems for this
purpose

of necessity; simply the cost of doing business
