Vandebron Case Study
Following Issues of Vandebron During Vandebron's presentation 3 main problems have been carefully defined by Vandebron as well as the objectives that company wants to accomplish. The first problem, as it was mention before throughout the BMC analyses, is creating customer loyalty and retention.
