Hi
I am looking at the e-marketing, the 4 Is, interatvity, intelliegence, independence and individualisation
I dont understand what they mean by independence, according to my views, I think it means to move production to a different region to target other customers who they believe they are interested in the product. this was in ECOCar june 11 paper.
Thanks
December 2, 2013 at 12:48 pm #149063there are usually 6Is quoted:
Intelligence, individualisation, interactivity, integration, independence and industry structure.
Independence means independence from geographical location. it doesn’t just mean moving production. Selling over the internet means that the company does not need a high street presence. Also, small companies van gain a global shop-window through their internet site.

For Porter’s Diamond see:
