If KitchenAid established an electronic storefront where customers could purchase mixers and accessories from the company’s Web site, it would cause ________ with retailers.
Group of answer choices
vertical channel conflicts
horizontal channel conflicts
exclusive dealing agreements
tying agreements
The correct option is: vertical channel conflicts.
Vertical conflicts involve a disagreement between two-channel
members on consecutive levels. For example, if the toy manufacturer
discovers its products are arriving at retail stores later than
scheduled, a conflict might develop between the manufacturer and
the wholesaler responsible for shipping to retailers. At the same
time, the retail stores might be in conflict with the wholesaler
due to its inability to ship products on time.
