The challenges of e-commerce for brand executives

One of the biggest challenges for brand and consumer products executives in the e-commerce sector is the executive dilemma. This dilemma arises from the need to balance investments in e-commerce with the high costs associated with it, particularly for shipping individual products. Many e-commerce teams are underinvested and understaffed, leading to difficulties in navigating the rapidly changing e-commerce landscape.
