Market relating capability has the potential to be a sustainable competitive advantage for a firm. Day (2000) describes the three elements of market relating capability as 1) relationship orientation, 2) integrated and aligned processes, and 3) deep knowledge of the customer.

This paper describes a framework for examining the technology available in each of these areas for enabling market relating capability.
