Thinking Outside the (Big) Box Illustration by Kelsey Dake Deep thoughts this week: 1. Big retailers classify workers as a "cost." 2. But they can be a major source of profit. 3.

In the last few years, Ton has become a revolutionary force in a field that would seem unlikely to generate many — the Kafkaesque-titled Operations Management. The problem results from the way many companies consider their workers. Ton, however, argues that workers are not merely a cost; they can be a source of profit — a major one. I was thinking about this as my wife and I re-entered Ikea.

Marketing Place As you will be aware from your experiences as a consumer, producers rarely sell their goods or services directly to the person that consumes them. Marketing channels, or place in terms of the marketing mix, are the means by which interdependent organizations move products or services from the producer to the person that purchases or consumes the product. This is the basic role of distribution. Let us consider the nature of distribution by looking at a very simple example of how it works in relation to our everyday experiences. A basic example would be a tin of vegetable soup. The entire chain would begin with the seeds that the farmer sews and then plants. The case is that a manufacturer will attempt to maximise the accessibility of his product to as many consumers as possible. (A marketing channel is) . . . a set of interdependent organisations that help make a product or service available for use or consumption by the consumer or business user. Place has a number of names.

Thesis Tutorial – Marketing Component of an E-Commerce Website In Part 5 of this lesson we’re going to take a look at the Marketing component of a Thesis e-commerce website.
