They are turning to the Internet not only to find great deals (for purchases online and offline) but also to save time finding the specific products and brands they want. In an increasingly complex and competitive environment eBusiness executives across Europe must demonstrate swift cross-functional leadership to ensure that Christmas campaigns are consistently executed across a growing range of touchpoints as the race to Christmas is becoming tighter than ever.
