<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Well, that's all and good, but where are the rest of the people in the world... you're only considering producer/consumer pair.<br />
<br />
This oversimplification is harmful.<br />
<br />
The real world has intermediaries, who add value to a transaction.<br />
<br />
Examples include:<br />
Recommendation information from friends<br />
Quality enforcement information (USDA, FCC, UL, etc)<br />
Merchants who have reputations tied to the quality of their wares<br />
<br />
All of these get thrown out of the picture in the diagram... they are 90% of any transaction... much to big to ignore.<br />
<br />
VRM is really about re-wiring the intermediaries, and providing tools to enable them to better add value.<br />
