How should companies integrate channels and mange channel conflict
An integrated marketing channel system coordinates the strategies and tactics of selling through multiple channels. There are two types of marketing systems: vertical and horizontal. Vertical systems integrate production and distribution stages under single or shared ownership, while horizontal systems combine unrelated companies.

However, it also risks channel conflict when one channel hinders another's goals. Strategies to manage conflict include justifying different channel roles, compensating existing channels for new channels, emphasizing shared goals, and encouraging cooperation.
What decisions do companies face in managing their channels
This document discusses various topics related to designing and managing integrated marketing channels, including:
- Selecting appropriate channel members and training/motivating them.
- The different types of power or influence companies have over channel members, such as coercive, reward, legitimate, expert, and referent power.

DIGITAL BUSINESS MBA SEM I chapter 1
This document discusses key concepts related to digital business and society. It covers how the digital revolution has transformed the business environment and led to the rise of electronic business, a globalized economy, and new operating models. Social networks and digital devices are now widely used by all parts of society. The digital economy, enterprise, and online communities are discussed as important aspects of this new digital world where customer needs are evolving and organizations must work in agile, innovative, and customer-focused ways. E-commerce is defined as any business transaction conducted electronically rather than through physical exchange.
A Roadmap to Building Online Community
Online communities have moved to the top
of the strategic marketing and customer
care agenda at many organizations. A study
conducted by Demand Metric “Online
Communities: Driving Customer Engagement
& Influencing Revenue” (September 2014)
revealed that building an online community is a
top priority. Two-thirds of companies surveyed
have online communities and among those that
don’t there is a trend to consider building one
in the future. Additionally, among those who
have online communities, the reported benefits
include a better understanding of customer/
prospect needs, a more loyal customer base,
better customer perception of the brand, and
improved customer support quality. All of
these strategic initiatives are powered by digital
engagement using online communities. But
despite the strategic focus, turning these “top
priority” initiatives into functional and successful
business activities is unfamiliar territory for many
organizations.
One major stumbling block? Turning the
sometimes fuzzy and hard-to-grasp-and-explain
benefits of an online community into a business
case; a proposal which clearly demonstrates the
value of the community to the organization’s
bottom line.
Marketing and customer care leaders are often
the first to recognize the need for an online
community, and may take the lead on creating
one. But if the project begins by acquiring a
software platform prior to developing a business
case, the success of the online community
is already in jeopardy. The time, effort and
cost required to retrofit or replace a software
platform which did not fulfill the organization’s
real business needs -- or deliver the necessary
bottom-line results -- has killed many an online
community initiative. Building a business case
for your online community is essential to its
long-term success. This short but detailed report
covers the crucial steps to building a persuasive
business case -- the roadmap for building a
successful online community.
This report draws on Leader Network’s many
years of online community strategy, best
practice and implementation experience, and
in-depth interviews with eight successful online
community leaders with real-world examples
to back up their suggestions and advice.

Building Deeper Advisory Relationships with Data
An exploration into how asset managers are addressing today’s marketplace challenges and leveraging new tools and technologies to create more fruitful relationships with financial advisors.
The asset management industry is confronted with several challenges to growth. Increased transparency via technology, competitive fee pressure, product commoditization, regulatory change and demographic shifts are contributing to increased margin pressure. One possible solve is to deepen relationships by turning existing client data into an asset. While leveraging analytics to inform client segmentation, client journey mapping and brand enhancement is not a novel exercise in the business world, it has perhaps not been fully adopted and implemented within intermediary distributed asset management.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
