Does Multi-stage Marketing Pay? (eBook, PDF)

Creating Competitive Advantages Through Multi-stage Marketing

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Some scholars propose that the concept of market orientation needs to be extended to encompass a company's indirect customers too. In an action-oriented perspective, this extended market orientation implies the notion of multi-stage marketing (MSM). For B-to-B settings, MSM entails the expanded consideration of both direct and indirect customers; it also provides the necessary capabilities to implement such a market orientation. In this study, Alejandro-Marcel Schönhoff presents a scenario-based experiment, using limit conjoint analysis, to establish an empirical basis for measuring the potential effects of different MSM types on direct customers' willingness-to-pay and other key outcome variables. The results show, among other things, that collaborative MSM exerts a positive effect on willingness-to-pay, whereas non-collaborative MSM has a negative effect on direct customers' satisfaction and loyalty. Furthermore, the relevance of MSM depends on the direct customers' market power toward their own customers.
