STRATEGIC CHANNEL MANAGEMENT
Selling through channels have become a preferred subject for the corporates. Perhaps that's because technology has added so many channels to what was already available that companies must be even smarter about choosing which ways to sell their products and services. Channels have become stronger and more complex with the advent of e- commerce. These online channels appear to have less to do with the human touch and more to do with the use of technology, which can be both good and bad, depending on how companies use the channels to service their customers. And it's customer preference that should determine which channels to use.
