The internet also brought along the forces of _____ as a way for manufacturers such as Dell and others, to directly solicit orders from consumers and deliver products directly, rather than relying on a global network of wholesalers and distributes/dealers as a way of bringing products to the market:

a) customization
b) personalization
c) build to order
d) individualized
e) none of the above

Answer 1

The internet enabled personalization as a way for manufacturers to directly solicit orders from consumers and deliver products, bypassing traditional distribution networks.

Step-by-step explanation:

The internet brought along the forces of personalization as a way for manufacturers such as Dell to directly solicit orders from consumers and deliver products directly, rather than relying on a global network of wholesalers and distributors as a way of bringing products to the market.

With the development of the internet, consumers now have the ability to order products from anywhere in the world. This has increased competition for local retail businesses. The same effect has had an even stronger impact on markets for business supplies, where business-to-business websites allow buyers and suppliers from anywhere to connect and transact.
