Channel Behaviour

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education Inc.
• Channel conflict: disagreements between marketing channel
members on goals and roles-who should do what and for what
rewards
– Horizontal conflict: between
firms on the same channel level
– Vertical conflict: between firms
on different levels of the channel
• Some conflict encourages healthy
competition which produces
innovation and better performance
• Too much conflict becomes
dysfunctional
