摘要:

基于营销渠道领域渠道多元化的研究文献和复杂系统科学领域的复杂适应系统理论,本文探讨经销商信息分享对制造商渠道多元化和跨渠道冲突的影响,以及销售增长率、环境不确定性对经销商信息分享与制造商渠道多元化、跨渠道冲突之间关系的调节作用。对484份问卷调查数据进行统计分析,结果表明:经销商的信息分享一方面会促进制造商的渠道多元化,另一方面会抑制制造商多条渠道之间的跨渠道冲突。另外,产品的销售增长率会增强经销商信息分享的影响,而环境不确定性则会削弱经销商信息分享的影响。研究结论明确了多渠道情境下经销商信息分享对制造商渠道多元化决策的积极影响以及对跨渠道冲突的抑制作用,为制造商跨渠道冲突治理提供新的思路。

Abstract:

Manufacturers have been investing in establishing multiple channels for selling products to customers. Drawing on prior studies concerning multichannel marketing, information sharing, and complex adaptive system theory emphasizing the interplay between a system and its environment, the impact of distributor information sharing on manufacturer channel diversification and cross-channel conflict in multichannel settings, and how the impact is moderated by sales growth rate and environmental uncertainty are proposed and tested.

Survey data are gathered from a sample of 484 manufacturers in China to test the hypotheses through regression analysis. It is found that, first, distributor information sharing positively affects manufacturer channel diversification, and can mitigate cross-channel conflict. Second, sales growth rate strengthens the positive effect of distributor information sharing on manufacturer channel diversification, and the negative effect of information sharing on cross-channel conflict. Third, environmental uncertainty weakens the positive effect of distributor information sharing on manufacturer channel diversification, and the negative effect of information sharing on cross-channel conflict.

The major contribution of this paper is investigating the effect of distributor information sharing in multichannel settings. The findings enrich the literature on multichannel marketing and information sharing by confirming the important role of distributor information sharing to promote manufacturer channel diversification and mitigate cross-channel conflict. Furthermore, in accordance with complex adaptive system theory, the results support two boundary conditions at environmental factors (i.e., sales growth rate and environmental uncertainty). In practice, the findings have several implications for marketing channel managers in properly conducting multichannel governance and management. Manufacturers are suggested to be aware of cross-channel conflict in multichannel marketing systems and properly leverage information shared by distributors according to environmental conditions to restrain cross-channel conflict.

Key words: complex adaptive system theory, distributor information sharing, channel diversification, cross-channel conflict, sales growth rate, environmental uncertainty
