The authors have published research on direct selling in high quality, reputable and peer-reviewed academic and practitioner journals. Thus, this book can add foundationally to the research efforts of academics who are conducting research in a wide variety of topics (such as sales, women empowerment, business strategy, ethics, distribution models, gig economy, and global entry - to name a few), as well as to members of the press who want reliable and valid content upon which to build their stories. The book's content is also particularly informative for policymakers at the local, state, national, and international levels. For students, reading this book will offer a variety of insights, particularly related to the intricacies of channel selection and design. Direct Selling: A Global and Social Business Model is a collective project from eight academics and practitioners who have dedicated much of their careers to understanding direct selling as both a go-to-market strategy and a channel of distribution and to capturing the people who are the foundation of direct selling. The pages of this book bring together a wealth of research and knowledge that can inform a broad spectrum of constituents about the economic and social benefits of direct selling, while also providing detail and clarity on key issues related to direct selling as a sustainable business model. 530 Also available in print. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 538 System requirements: Adobe Acrobat reader. 588 Description based on PDF viewed 09/06/2021. 650 0 Direct selling.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85038258 650 0 Direct marketing.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85038256 650 7 Direct selling.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/894562 650 7 Direct marketing.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 894544 653 Direct selling. 653 Social selling. 653 Empowering people. 653 Business model. 653 Channel of distribution. 653 Gig economy. 653 Independent contractors. 653 Micro-entrepreneurs. 653 Entrepreneurial spirit. 653 Compensation plans. 653 Ethics and compliance. 653 Go-to-market strategy. 653 High tech--high touch. 653 Code of ethics. 653 Self-efficacy. 653 B2C marketplace. 653 Economic and social benefits. 655 0 Electronic books. 700 1 Coughlan, Anne T.,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n88617646|eauthor. 700 1 Crittenden, Victoria Lynn,|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities /names/no91022088|eauthor. 700 1 Crittenden, William F.,|eauthor. 700 1 Ferrell, Linda K.,|eauthor. 700 1 Luce, W.
