Disintermediation
Within economics, this transition to direct selling — of cutting out sales reps like Joyce in lieu of websites like DHgate.com — is known as disintermediation, and it’s one of the defining characteristics of the internet age. Companies like Uber, Amazon and Priceline have succeeded by disintermediating enormous industries (taxi dispatchers, brick-and-mortar retailers, travel agents). The logic of disintermediation seems self-evident: By putting factories directly in contact with stores, by helping customers order directly from manufacturers, by letting riders coordinate with drivers, you cut out a needless source of waste and inefficiency. Middlemen (and middlewomen), so this theory goes, have simply been gobbling a slice of the pie they never really deserved.“ [1]
Was für ein unfassbar praktisches Wort, dieses „Disintermediation“. Scheiße, ist das praktisch.
