Hi Dar1nw,
I saw you rated my summary. However, I did not get any messages from you about possible inconvenience. So far, I only received very positive feedback from the buyers. Can you send me a message to elaborate your dissatisfaction?
Kind regards, Kim

Personally I felt like the summary was not worth buying. It was just all the slides that we received put together and you did not really elaborate on some parts. It was even missing some parts in the sales section of your summary. Although i do appreciate the effort you put in making this summary so I will change my rating

willing to pay

expectations

Dependability The ability of an organization to consistently meet its promises to the

Speed The ability to provide products or services with as short a time delay as
possible between customer order and delivery
The value that's created and captured by a company is the profit margin:

The more value an organization creates, the more profitable it is likely to be. And when you
provide more value to your customers, you build competitive advantage

activities

maintenance and support of a product or service.

sold to customers.

logistics collection, storage, distribution systems, and they may be internal or
external to the organisation.

and sales instead of your competitors. The benefits you offer, and how well you
communicate them, are sources of value here.
