"渠道"若"渠"

<正>销售工作从本质上来说是管理工作。消费者需求是企业营销源头活水,销售渠道如灌溉系统。从中国农民几千年总结出来的田间管理经验中,我们的销售工作似乎可以得到一些启示。事实上,在我们的销售工作中,制造商这一大水库,一直控制着整个灌溉系统流量。经销商是分散在各地的小水库,它从制造商那里获得水,并通过水渠向田间送水;零售商就是田间地头的蓄水池,农民从池里取水浇田。从大水库列小水库再到

"物流管理"和"供应链管理"是"异名同质"吗?

在社会上将物流管理和供应链管理两者合一研究的文章很多,有的观点则将两者归为“异名同质”问题。本文从物流与供应链的概念、物流管理与供应链管理的概念和研究的对象及内容出发,针对物流管理和供应链管理是“异名同质”的认识提出质疑,认为物流管理与供应链管理目标的一致性并不能证明二者工作性质的一致性;既要看到二者部分管理内容的重合性,也要看到管理范围的局限性:“企业物流一体化”向“供应链一体化”的转变,是对物流服务对象的认识。物流管理和供应链管理既有相互联系、相互包容的一面,也有其各自的运行规律,分清两者之间的区别不仅对设置与专业发展相关的课程、培养人才起着至关重要的作用,而且对于企业清晰管理组织设置和管理权限划分也具有重要意义。
