Caught in the 'Net
Article Abstract:
Consumer electronics manufacturers such as Thomson Consumer Electronics and Matsushita Electronics have launched their own websites to promote and sell their products. Sony and Philips, on the other hand, chose to rely on web retailers to sell their products in the Internet. Meanwhile, JVC Company of America still refuses to adopt direct-to-consumer selling because company officials believe that the traditional dealers network will continue to achieve the company's sales goals.
