BruceCo sells medical devices used in surgical operations. It requires a great deal of training t be able to use
these medical devices properly and there is a potential liability to BruceCo if they are used improperly. Because
each product has to be numbered and monitored for quality and sanitation, the products must be handled
carefully and are expensive. Which of these channels would be best for BruceCo?
Choose one answer.
a. Hire a skilled sales force to call on surgeons and educate them about the risks and benefits of your
devices.
b. Work with a cash and carry distributor.
c. Work with a broker to negotiate deals with each of the hospitals who wish to carry BruceCo products.
d. Set up a series of regional warehouses to keep inventory nearer to the customer.
e. Sell directly to doctors or hospitals shops through a company website and charge $10 shipping and
handling for ground delivery and $20 shipping and handling for rush delivery.
