Исправила. Спасибо, Анджела.
Angela Greenfield Jun 4, 2010:
Поняла. Тогда нужно исправить ссылку. Там есть опция "based on own experience/research".
RaissaGMF Jun 4, 2010:
Инвестопедия не приводит готового термина. Вы правильно заметили, что этот термин трудноопределяеый и поэтому я попыталась сформулировать определение из понятий.
Angela Greenfield Jun 4, 2010:
Raissa, ссылка на Инвестопедию не содержит того определения, которое вы привели. Вы его сами сформулировали или где-то есть все-таки? Спасибо.
Angela Greenfield Jun 3, 2010:
This term may be too difficult to render into Rus since it is a play on words and comes from "brick-and-mortar" business setup.

интерактивно-автономная модель

Definition from own experience or research:
Данная модель описывает тип бизнеса, работающего в виртуальном и реальном мире, то есть данный тип бизнеса имеет как виртуальные так и реальные магазины. Это означает, что бизнес оперирует в интернете (click) и к тому же имеет магазины в общепринятом традиционном виде (mortar). Отсюда и определение -интерактивный режим, то есть online или click. Автономный или самоуправляющийся, в данном случае, означает реально действующий магазин, имеющий здание и все другие физические атрибуты, действующий вне интернета-автономно. <br /><br />Пример такого бизнеса: Barnes and Noble, Walmart, BestBuy и другие <br /><br />Эквивалент- clicks and bricks
Example sentences:
Bricks-and-clicks is a business model by which a company integrates both offline (bricks) and online (clicks) presences. It is also known as click-and-mortar or clicks-and-bricks, as well as bricks, clicks and flips, flips referring to catalogs. One example of the bricks-and-clicks model is when a chain of stores allows the user to order products online, but lets them pick up their order at a local store. Conversely, a furniture store may have displays at a local store from which a customer can order an item electronically for delivery to their home. (Answers)
