Do current marketing trends reflect a focus on customer value? Can you give some examples?
More and more, we see customer value rising to the level of an important, but perhaps not yet critical, metric in evaluating most companies' marketing efforts. Many non-financial metrics already emphasize customer value issues.

Instead, these systems provide other current-period metrics that have long-term effects.
