Why did designing a database that would capture customer equity present a challenge for Wachovia’s marketing team? Our values should guide every conversation we have, every decision we make, and every interaction we have among our team members and with our customers.

It’s that simple.
According to Gibson (2012), “customers can often confuse needs, wants, and expectations, but what they do want is to be acknowledged, understood, treated fairly, and feel in control of their experience” (pp. 10-11). This may not be easy to cater to as “each customer is unique” (Gibson, 2012, p. 6) and they might each have various reasons for buying or shopping for a specific product. For some customers money is no object, while for others they may shop on a strict budget. Therefore companies should remember to treat each customer with respect, regardless of how much money they are spending, because they never know if in the future the customer might make a larger purchase (Gibson, 2012, p. 15), or perhaps spread the word to a friend or family member who might spend significantly more money with the company.

The company at hat served the public best would be favored in a competitive situation C. My opinion is that there should be a balance between competition and government involvement. A competitive situation would keep utility employees striving to satisfy the needs of their customer. Without competition some employees could become indifferent to customer satisfaction as the customer can not go anywhere else. Government involvement would be important by setting standards that must be adhered to by competing companies as far as level of service and also ensure that the competing companies can not fix pricing to consumers and artificially control what the consumer will

Huffman is unsatisfied with overall results that his organization has not been able to rise above the competition, but to remain at the competition’s side.

The individuals in life that are able to either mask their agenda or shift the agenda to something altruistic will have great success at building
During my research I have concluded the foundation of a good organization is regular and complete communication. Without it, confusion could easily arise, which leads to conflict and reduced productivity. My current work performance is clearly based on my resistance to change.
