Definition of 'Distribution Management': Overseeing the movement of goods from
supplier or manufacturer to point of sale. Distribution management is an overarching term
that refers to numerous activities and processes such as packaging, inventory, warehousing,
supply chain and logistics.
Investopedia explains 'Distribution Management': Effectively managing the entiredistribution process is critical to financial success and corporate longevity. The larger a
corporation or the greater the number of supply points a company has, the more it will need
to rely on automation to effectively manage the distribution process.
Product distribution (or place) is one of the four elements of the marketing mix.
Distribution is the process of making a product or service available for use or consumption by
a consumer or business user, using direct means, or using indirect means with intermediaries.
The other three parts of the marketing mix are product, pricing, and promotion.
Shopping mall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The interior of the Toronto Eaton Centre in Toronto, Canada.
A shopping mall, shopping center/centre, shopping arcade, shopping precinct, or simply
mall is one or more buildings forming a complex of shops representing merchandisers, with
interconnecting walkways enabling visitors to walk from unit to unit. Other establishments
including movie theaters and restaurants are also often included.
As traders moved into more spacious shops in the early 19th century high streets developed,
but wealthier people (who could afford to travel to city centres for pleasure) started wantingshelter from rain, so shopping arcades were developed. With new innovations like escalators
these evolved into shopping centres and with the rise of the automobile these evolved into
shopping malls.[citation needed ]
From early on, the design tended to be inward-facing, with malls following theories of how
customers could best be enticed in a controlled environment. Similar, the concept of a mall
having one or more "anchor stores" or " big box stores" was pioneered early, with individualstores or smaller-scale chain stores intended to benefit from the shoppers attracted by the big
stores.[1]
