Objectivo: Criar interdependências! (parte II)

Continuado daqui:
.
Como se criam interdependências?
.
Eis um artigo que exemplifica como se pode fazer batota: "Break the Rules the Way Zappos and Amazon Do":
.
Como saboreio as palavras que se seguem:
.
"What would you think of a business that identifies cost reduction opportunities but purposely does not follow through with the cuts? Or another that actually chooses to build excess capacity? Not long for this world, you might figure. Or perhaps they're luxury chains that can pass on their inefficiencies to customers who are used to paying a premium.
.
Well, both guesses are off. Consider the following examples. The first is Zappos, which was recently acquired at a premium by Amazon, which happens to be our second example. Both companies seem to make a point of ignoring the "make it lean" dictum of the hour, and both are thriving, not in spite of these "inefficiencies" but because of them. What may look like costly mistakes are in both cases deliberate choices made by people who know how to manage their operations for the new retail environment."
.
Estas escolhas são fundamentais!!!
.
Este tipo de escolhas são aquelas que dividem, que custam, que obrigam a trade-offs, que são sacríficios. Ao fazerem estas escolhas podem oferecer um conjunto de experiências que uma faixa de clientes-alvo procura, aprecia e valoriza.
.
Simultaneamente, quem segue os preceitos lean... cria uma organização mais adequada para servir outro tipo de clientes... mas não estes!!!
.
"To gain and keep customers, you have to provide them with a unique and addictive experience.
.
With Zappos, that experience is superior customer service, delivering on this promise of guaranteed long-term satisfaction. It's the unquestioned knowledge in the consumer's mind that she or he can for any reason, for a one-year period, with consummate ease and without shipping costs, return any purchase to get a full refund. And Amazon has turned its mammoth selection and super-rapid delivery into a unique experience. In these, and in the case of other leading retailers and manufacturers we've studied, the ability to manage for a changing reality is the element that will determine success or failure."
