I came across the internet phenomena of B2B(business to business) the other day and was wondering if it is a subject that economics has looked at yet or if anyone had any comment on it. If you dont know what it is the, the idea I got was that it involves a company which purchases good directly from the manufacture and then sells those goods directly to the consumer. There is no need for warehouses as the goods are sent to the individuals and not the company. I was given the example of tires, whereby they are bought from say Goodyear and then sold to someone online and shipped to their homes. It seemed like there was something illegal about it. Anyone know any more?
