OBS

Cette expression servait à décrire autrefois l'emprise de la firme IBM sur sa clientèle, au temps où cette dernière ne pouvait s'adresser à aucune autre société concurrente.

CONT

Ce processus ne sonne pas simplement le glas d'un phénomène séculaire affectant le monde européen de la finance, il est également le symptôme d'un changement de plus grande ampleur qui touche toutes les formes de l'activité économique : la perte d'influence du «contrôle du client».
