Abstract

Current theories of marketing channel structure have stressed product and
industry characteristics. We develop a theoretical framework which emphasizes the
importance of the markets for each of the functions required by the distribution
channel. This framework was used in an extensive and in depth case study for 23
companies in 6 industries in Venezuela. Imperfections in the market for loans, lack of
specialized markets for certain channel functions, spatial monopolies enjoyed by
retailers and agency problems were identified as crucial elements affecting vertical
integration and control in distribution channels.
