Marco Bertini is rewriting the rules of commerce. Instead of selling the “means” (products and services), he believes companies should adopt innovative revenue models to pursue the “ends” (actual outcomes).

Marco Bertini is a professor of marketing at Esade and a visiting professor at the Harvard Business School.
