Abstract
Our model suggests that an extra focus on what the customers perceives as quality is needed in order to succeed on emerging mid-markets. As actual quality only matters if it affects perceived quality this information is needed in order to develop “the right product”. It is not only about having a customer focus; rather we suggest that the company must “turn the customer perception into its reality”. Successful competition also requires that the company manage their reputation of being a premium company in an adequate manner. Further more, the organization has to be structured so that customer value is delivered - to use local management and local sale channels is a necessity.
