The Entrepreneurs Manifesto: - Britain currently faces one of its toughest tasks in many years. It has to produce enough wealth to provide the government with enough money to pay off their large recessionary debt.

Technology businesses on the whole are not differentiated by their software, solutions or any type of product in the consumers mind, but by their people and how competent, helpful and valuable they deem those people to be.

In the minds of the consumer, most technology companies are almost grouped together as they tend to release similar products. Once one company has made the technological advancement, it wont be long before they are all selling it. For this reason, value for the customer lies not in what the product does, because they could get a similar product from many different places, but in the value you can offer them outside the inherent features of the product. - 26221
