Abstract

This chapter deals with two main elements. The first concerns the management of the logistical and physical flow of goods from producers to end user customers. This is referred to as ‘supply chain management’. The second element concerns the management of the marketing channels. These are structural configurations organisations use to add value and which enable end users to access finished goods (and services) in the most convenient way. Attention is given to conventional marketing channel structures, vertical marketing systems and network approaches to interorganisational channel structures.
