This thesis results in a model developed to help companies to act physically as wholesalers at the same time as acting on the virtual market by selling directly to end consumers. The model is developed in two steps; through theory and through empirical findings. Further more, some important considerations i.e. Organisation, Supply Chain, Relations, Marketing and Strategy are identified and evaluated, as well as the Rich Bitch project. (Less)
