No company will be a future market leader without also being a marketleader online, says Rasmus Bech Hansen, MD at Kontrapunkt Online in an article in today’s Børsen about how companies can use the web to gain marketshare.

Companies will not gain long term marketshare online or improve their competitiveness by improving it’s website or through clever social marketing. The only way to win online is for a company to take part of it’s core products and services online and thereby differentiate existing offerings, create more customer value and avoid a pure price competition. According to Mr. Bech Hansen the web has become today’s primary business battleground, but executives still treat the web as a communication channel.
