DSEF Fellows at the DSA Annual Meeting 2017
DSEF partners with members of the academic community to better establish that the direct selling channel of distribution is a mainstream path to micro-entrepreneurship and a viable business model for taking products and services to market.
In 2016 DSEF launched the Fellows Program to support educational and research efforts to foster a deeper understanding of the channel and its impact.
In the first year of the DSEF Fellows Program, we partnered with 60 professors from various disciplines—including entrepreneurship, business management, marketing, economics, retailing and consumer studies.
One way in which DSEF engages, equips and empowers educators with an accurate understanding of the direct selling channel is through Learning Journeys. The academic delegation at the DSA Annual Meeting 2017 is participating in one such learning journey, and the entire DSA family welcomes them to Orlando.
