Distribution has undergone a deep transformation due, in essence, to the change in consumer values and market globalization.
At the same time, several factors have clearly increased the competitive pressure in this sector, requiring companies to renew their operations and the executive role in all functions.
Consequently, in order to stay in business and grow in this new competitive environment, companies need people who are able to identify business opportunities and customer needs, and define and implement competitive growth strategies in a constantly evolving market.
There are two new competitive models in the current consumer market: on one hand, major business distribution and franchising are leading the large consumer product distribution; on the other, small business distribution is specializing (or should specialize) in market niches.
To be able to adapt to the new competitive models, companies need to count on people who are able to design top competitive strategies, given that the process of change is causing considerable change in the balance of power between manufacturers and distribution, which has fostered the development of complex management techniques and strategies.
