Readers Respond: Digital Disconnect?
The latest HBSDealer poll question attempted to measure the perception of strategies governing today's business of online buying and selling.
How would you describe your company’s digital-retailing strategy? Respondents were allowed up to three choices form a list that runs from “intelligent” to “confusing.” The plurality of respondents described their strategy as "developing," which sounds about right in a volatile business. But it may be surprising to see the critical assessments in second and third and fourth place. Here’s the breakdown:
Developing: 35%;
Haphazard: 13%;
Ineffective: 12%:
Confusing: 9%:
Stable: 9%;
Focused: 7%;
Effective: 5%;
Defensive: 5%;
Profitable: 3%; and
Intelligent: 3%.
The survey reflects 117 votes from 69 voters, at last tally. It remains open on the right side of this page (or scroll down your mobile device).
