,Chapter 12: Marketing Channels: Delivering Customer Value
Supply Chains and the Value Delivery Network
Upstream from the company: is the set of firms that supply the raw material / components / parts / information /
finances / expertise needed to create a product or a service. This represents the supply chain. while often taking a “make-
and-sell” view of the business, suggesting that raw material, productive inputs and factory capacity should serve as the
starting point for market planning, the “demand chain” is more appropriate as it suggests a “sense-and-respond” view
of the market. (With the goal of creating customer value).

With the rise of the internet, today’s companies are engaged in building and managing a complex, continuously
evolving value delivery network

Downstream from the company: represents all the different distributors a product have to go through before reaching
its final customer, from the origin to the client. This represents the distribution channel.


The Nature and Importance of Marketing Channels
Value Delivery Network: A network composed of the company, suppliers, distributors and, ultimately, customers who
‘partner’ with each other to improve the performance of the entire system in delivering customer value.

Marketing Channel (Distribution Channel): A set of interdependent organisations that help make a product or service
available for use or consumption by the consumer or business user.


How Channel Members add Value
Producers use intermediaries because of their contacts, experience, specialisation and scale of operation;
rising efficiency in making goods available to target markets.

Direct marketing: no intermediaries/intermediary layers. Opposing: Indirect marketing: Channel containing
one or more intermediary levels.




 Members of the marketing channel perform many key functions. Some help to complete transactions:
- Information: gathering and distributing marketing research and intelligence information about actors and
forces in the marketing environment needed for planning and aiding exchange.
- Promotion: Developing and spreading persuasive communications about an offer
- Contact: Finding and communicating with prospective buyers
- Matching: Shaping and fitting the offer to the buyer’s needs, including activities such as manufacturing,
grading, assembling and packaging
- Negotiation: Reaching an agreement on price and other terms of the offer so that ownership or
possession can be transferred.
 Others help fulfil the completed transactions:
- Physical Distribution: Transporting and storing goods
- Financing: Acquiring and using funds to cover the costs of the channel work
- Risk Taking: Assuming the risks of carrying out the channel work

The question is: Who will fulfil these functions



1

, Number of Channel Levels
Channel level: A layer of intermediaries that performs some work in bringing the product and its ownership
closer to the final buyer

Length: Number of intermediary levels.

Channel 1 = direct marketing channel
Channel 2 = Indirect. Length = 1
Channel 3 = Indirect. Length = 2 (2
intermediaries)

Types of flow:

 Physical flow of products
 Flow of ownership
 Payment flow
 Information flow
 Promotion flow


Channel Behaviour and Organization
Channel Behaviour
Channel conflict: disagreement on who should do what and for what rewards (Over foals, roles and rewards)
Horizontal Conflict: occurs among firms at the same level of the channel. (Two dealers conflicting over price)
Vertical Conflict: between different levels of the same channel. Some conflict in the channel takes the form of
healthy competition. Preventing them from becoming passive & non-innovative.
Vertical Marketing Systems
A firm/agency or mechanism that provides leadership & has power to assign roles and
manage conflict will help the channel perform. Conventional Distribution channels
often lack such leadership and power, which results in damaging conflict and poor
performance.

Conventional distribution channel: a channel consisting of one or more
independent producer, wholesalers and retailers, each a separate business seeking to
maximise its own profits, even at the expense of profits for the system as a whole.

Vertical marketing systems provide channel leadership. It consists of producers,
wholesalers and retailers acting as a unified system. One channel member owns the
others, has contracts with them and wields so much power that they must all
cooperate. The VMS can be dominated by the producer, the wholesaler or the retailer.



 There are three major types of VMS (Vertical Marketing Systems):

1. Corporate VMS: A vertical marketing system that combines successive
stages of production and distribution under single ownership – channel leadership is established through
common ownership
2. Contractual VMS: A vertical marketing system in which independent firms at different levels of
production and distribution join together through contracts

Franchise Organisation: A contractual vertical marketing system, called a franchisor, links several stages In
the production-distribution process. There are three types of franchises:

 Manufacturer-sponsored retailer franchise system: network of independent franchised dealers
 Manufacturer-sponsored wholesaler franchise system: coca-cola’s licenses bottlers
(wholesalers) in various markets who buy coca-cola syrup concentrate and then bottle and sell
the finished product to retailers in local market.
 Service-firm-sponsored retailer franchise system: e.g. Burger King
3. Administered VMS: A vertical marketing system that coordinates successive stages of production and
distribution through the size and power of one of the parties.
