BCG Perspectives
Consumer-facing companies in developed economies have experienced little or no growth since the global recession of 2008 and 2009. As a result, CEOs, business unit leaders, chief marketing officers, and executive teams are looking outward, trying to spur growth by turning to new sources of customer information.

Are You a Manufacturer or a Provider of Solutions and Services?

June 3, 2016
BCG Perspectives
As they witness the proliferation of sensors, software, computing power and connectivity embedded in everything from motor vehicles to home appliances, equipment manufacturers of all kinds are asking an existential question: is it time to stop thinking of themselves primarily as hardware and systems companies and instead to view themselves as providers of software solutions and services?
