Abstract— The connectivities between manufacturer and distributor across their joint marketing channels are investigated as a two-way modeling process. The likely channel connectivities may create uni-directional(s) and/or two-way directional(s) connectivities within the manufacturer and the distributor constructs. These connectivities can be treated as the focus target for both parties in improving their relationships that may lead to a better alignment to achieve the channel’s goals.
Index Terms— Connectivities, manufacturer, distributor, alignment.
