“The mood now is for customers..."
Hi,
Please have a look at this:
“The mood now is for customers to ask you, ‘Come and tell me where you can help me and give me a proposition where you also co-share some of the risk’”, said Azim Premji, chairman of Indian software powerhouse Wipro. "It's a tough change. It requires investment, it requires much more engagement of top management, it requires much more understanding of customer requirements, and it requires a much stronger relationship because it opens the book to you."
=> What does 'mood' mean here?
=> And does 'it opens the book to you' have any special meaning? (I mean metaphor)
Many thanks,
Nessie.

Top answer
-- trend / attitude And does 'it opens the book to you' have any special meaning? (I mean metaphor)-- Yes, a metaphor, in that there is no 'book'. I think it means 'it gives you a chance to try many things', or something along that line.
