'''VRM Scenarios - "Minority Report"'''

http://www.socialcustomer.com/images/minrpt.png

Vendors bring every resource to bear to extract the last bit of margin out of every customer.  Targeted ads, served relentlessly and based on our past purchasing behavior, attempt to entice us to consume the next new thing.  Friedman's "Flat World" observation plays out to its logical conclusion, with manufacturing and marketing, sales and service taking place at whatever patch on the globe can deliver the product most cost-effectively.  Since vendors use data mining of petabytes of customer data in order to predict the next hot trend, post-sale service becomes increasingly unimportant, since product lifecycles are measured in weeks.  Customer data becomes a pure commodity, created, owned and traded by vendors in the way that carbon credits and pork bellies are traded today.  Vendors with economies of scale rule the day.  Customers get low prices, and limited choice.
