Market
The Consumer Goods market has characteristics that make the Italian case, one of a kind. Unlike other European countries, in Italy, the partners in large-scale retail have multiplied in a short period of time due to the entry of important foreign retailers, thus making the relationship between Industry and Large-Scale Retail much more complicated and complex.
The complexity of the distribution channel, the growing competitive pressure between the big brands, the medium-sized companies that want to find a place for themselves in large-scale retail and the increasingly frequent use of EDLP (Everyday Low Prices) strategies have made it necessary to have increasingly more careful and precise management of sales expense.
