Retail pricing: does channel length matter?

Article Abstract:

The optimal distribution channel length of market products is proportional toits substitutability level. A particular manufacturer's profits and total channel profits are shown to be related and has a corresponding effect on the number of middlemen. The findings confirm institutional knowledge that increasing distributor levels also increases overall profitability. A study assumption is that it is the manufacturers who control the transactions over the middlemen.
