CHAPTER 3
The Distribution Challenge!
Problem: Eve of Destruction
Summary:
Adobe Inc. produces software for graphics and electronic publishing applications. It ships to many differene regions including Japan, Southeast, Asia, Australia and Latin America. Adobo regularly introduces new updates and so renders all of its previous versions obsolete. However this had become a problem for Adobe because the distributors were sending back 10.000-20.000 boxes a year. These returned programs were then sent to California for destruction. And to discourage piracy, they had to confirm the serial number of each returned one and then sent it to a software recycler for erasure. But this was a great burden on Adobe's distributors on their accounts, because Adobe paid the money to them in 2 months. Also the distributors had another burden as they had to pay the shipment costs also. Because of these great costs, Adobe's distributors started selling the old software locally.
