Distribution
Distribution
Distribution is
the action and effect of distributing (dividing something between
several people, giving something the convenient destination, delivering a
commodity). The term, which comes from the Latin distributio ,
is very common in commerce to name the distribution of products .
The
distribution, in this case, is the process that consists of making the
product physically reach the consumer . For the distribution to be
successful, the product must be available to the potential buyer at the time
and place indicated. For example: the distribution of a refreshing drink
should be reinforced during the summer as its demand increases . In
this season, the drink has to reach the tourist centers and summer
destinations, among other places of massive concentration of people.
It is known
as the distribution chain or distribution channels to
the different agents that complete the stages so that the product reaches the
final consumer. The most frequent are the wholesalers(who buy the
product from the manufacturer and sell to the retailer) and the retailers (who
buy from the wholesaler and sell to the end customer), although there may be
other intermediate agents.
In the same
way, we can not ignore the fact that the term in question is used in the usual
way within the field of Mathematics. Specifically in this is used to
define all that function that aims to represent all those probabilities that
come to identify in a palpable and forceful to a random type phenomenon.
Also,
distribution is a term used in the field of technology. Thus, it is
usually talk about what is known as a distribution board, which basically comes
to be the installation that has a square shape and that is composed of a whole
set of elements and devices through which you can take the control of
electricity in a specific place.
Computer
science is another sector that also has its own types of distribution. In
this way, in particular, we can establish that there are two classes that are
the best known. On the one hand, there is the so-called GNU / Linux
distribution, which revolves around software, which in turn is based on Linux. Thanks
to it, it is possible to have a series of programs and applications that meet
certain specific needs of users.
On the other
hand, we should talk about the so-called BSD distribution, which is identified
because it does not depend on Linux or GNU. In particular, among its main
elements would be the tree of sources and also it must be noted that it has
three fundamental derivations.
In the
economic sphere, on the other hand, the distribution of income or distribution
of income is the way in which the gross product of an economy is
distributed among the different social classes. This distribution is
not equitable, but most of the wealth goes to those who have more.
The State is
in charge of intervening in the market to ensure that the redistribution of
wealth reaches all sectors. Excessive state intervention, however, can
distort the market and generate macroeconomic problems.
