The lecture was hosted by Professor Yan Zhijun. A number of SME teachers and students participated in the report.
    Currently Maker Movement is in the ascendant. In a market characterized by increasingly significant long tail trend, how to make effective marketing of new brands and products, quickly increase sales and win loyal customers become a concern for the makers. Professor Narasimhan studied the impact of flash sales and social network communication (e-commerce website, Facebook, Pinterest) on sales.
