**8. Final note**

Our intention in this work is to present firm coherence approach that privileges the interconnection and coherence between its building blocks. Our approach is dynamic and can be updated on the basis of feedback, experience from actions and new evidences.

It is evident that globalization has left only one true path to profitability: to base firm's competitive advantage on extraordinary coherency. Any returns/paybacks/ profits that, historically, have been associated with superior technology and/or access to others kind of resources and capabilities are now too transient to provide competitive advantage. As transients' advantages become less relevant, managing the firm without coherency becomes not only inadequate but reckless, so, a relevant and practical firm coherent approach that searches for value creation it yields better investments and returns.

We hope that our approach will be the genesis of value-creating for customers, employees and shareholders.
