Résumé

E-Distribution provides an understanding of the role of the distributor in the supply chain and presents an E-Business Model that allows the integration of the customer into the distributor's operations. E-Distribution was developed from nine research projects that were funded by business firms and industry associations. E-Distribution provides information on how forecasting, purchasing, decision-making, inventory management, and vendor relationships can be accomplished within an e-commerce environment. The text stresses the importance of e-commerce and developing contemporary distribution models to leverage the power of technology within business distribution systems.

Benefits:

Prescriptive Approach: E-Distribution offers a prescriptive presentation of electronic commerce's role in business-to-business distribution so that readers easily see how to make effective use of the technology.
Distribution Focus: The focus of the book is on distribution as opposed to logistics and materials management. Important supply chain topics are also integrated within the coverage.
Problem Illustrations: Opening vignettes in each chapter cover a specific problem or issue that illustrates the material covered in the chapter. A closing vignette explains how the problem was resolved.
