The following extracts come from: Tom Peters (1997) ‘The Circle<br />

of Innovation’ Alfred A. Knopf.<br />

The book focuses on the importance of innovation for any business<br />

today in order to survive in a changing business climate. Yet again<br />

he is loyal to his theme and his passion – the customers.<br />

<strong>On</strong> the theme of empowering customers he writes:<br />

Empowerment (customers) = Information = access = decision making<br />

= choice = customisation = perception of control/ownership.<br />

He gives numerous examples of organisations including Netscape,<br />

Charles Schwab, and his personal experience of empowering customers.<br />
