Analysis and perspective on excess inventory, frozen working capital, alternative commercial channels and U.S. market entry — for manufacturers rethinking what to do with products the cash market cannot move.
Finding a distributor is not the first step — it is the result of a structured market-entry process. Why most approaches fail, and what manufacturers should do instead.
