The American Supply Association is telling its wholesaler and manufacturer members to stop talking about electronic commerce and "just do it." At an unprecedented meeting of business and technology executives representing wholesalers, manufacturers, manufacturers reps and software solution providers, the ASA took the lead by inviting speakers from all these groups to discuss the issues and problems of e-commerce at its Blue Ribbon Summit meeting May 11-12 in Chicago.
After two days of presentations by speakers from all segments of the industry, attendees broke out into brainstorming sessions to discuss specific issues relating to electronic commerce. Business executives comprised one group (which was split into four subgroups); technology executives comprised the other group (also split into four subgroups).
