However, few appreciate the difference between value and quality. But by doing so, they can more finitely increase their options for adding both value and quality.

For example, Microsoft can increase the quality of its Windows operating system but that may not lead to an increase in value for the customer. This is especially true when a product reaches maturity, as options for improving the cost/performance mix begin to dwindle after years of improvement.b) Value is the worth of the package as a whole and the relationship to the quality of each part of the package is tenuous.
