Build a robust business model which encompasses an ecosystem of staff , suppliers , and customers

In the early years of the digital era , hybrids often placed their e-commerce or online teams in separate organisational entities in order to avoid polluting the mainstream with radical and often disruptive ideas and / or to prevent the mainstream smothering new ideas .
