This book is designed to meet the needs of CFOs, accounting and
financial professionals interested in leveraging the power of
data-driven customer insights in management accounting and financial
reporting systems. While academic research in Marketing has developed
increasingly sophisticated analytical tools, the role of customer
analytics as a source of value creation from an Accounting and Finance
perspective has received limited attention. The authors aim to fill this
gap by blending interdisciplinary academic rigor with practical insights
from real-world applications. Readers will find thorough coverage of
advanced customer accounting concepts and techniques, including the
calculation of customer lifetime value and customer equity for internal
decision-making and for external financial reporting and valuation.
Beyond a professional audience, the book will serve as ideal companion
reading for students enrolled in undergraduate, graduate, or MBA
courses.
