Description:
Multi-channel distribution is an increasingly important phenomenon in marketing, and the internal organizational dynamics associated with its use are strategically critical in nature. In this study, we focus on conflict internal to the supplier firm among the groups and individuals responsible for managing the various channels. We utilize a research approach consisting of four in-depth case studies with business-to-business marketing organizations to develop a holistic conceptual framework of internal multi-channel conflict and fourteen propositions for research. Results indicate that the life cycle stage plays a moderating role in determining the functionality of multi-channel conflict, that the supplier firm's internal market orientation is a determinant of the extent to which it will engage in internal multi-channel integration behaviors (i.e., superordinate goals, internal coordination and internal communication) and that internal and external multi-channel conflict are closely interrelated constructs.

Williams Sound WIR TX9-01 Multi-Channel IR Emitter (European Power Supply)
$953.00
TX9 emitter produces a wide-angle infrared signal that concentrates the IR energy efficiently in the listening area. Operating on the 2.3-3.8 MHz bandwidth, the TX9 is less susceptible to radio and lighting interference. Each TX9 emitter can cover up to 28,000 sq. feet (2,600 sq. meters) in single-channel operation. The coverage area can be easily increased by daisy-chaining additional TX9 emitters. A wall/ceiling omnidirectional mount is included and stand kits are available for portable operation.

Description:
To capture customers in different market segments, many firms distribute their products using multiple channels involving in-store, mail-order and electronic mediums. Nevertheless, the business literature is replete with examples where the management of multiple distribution channels becomes unwieldy. As a way to evaluate different distribution strategies arising from multiple channels, we develop a model of a general multi-channel distribution system subject to stochastic demand. Since the exact analysis of our model is intractable, we propose a decomposition scheme that enables us to develop a near-optimal distribution policy with minimum total expected distribution cost. We utilize our analysis of this multi-channel system in two specific applications arising from multi-channel distribution. The first application deals with a store-based retailer expanding into a direct sales channel. The retailer can fill the orders generated from this additional sales channel by using the existing stores or the existing depots. For this application, we evaluate the trade-off between these two options. The second application intends to find a cost-effective way to distribute products by utilizing the combined distribution system of two retailers after a potential merger-and-acquisition (M&A). For this application, we quantify the benefit of an M&A in terms of distribution efficiency.
