Four Environmental Issues to Consider for Channels
in Asia
1. The underdevelopment of infrastructure in Asias larger
emerging markets. Consequently, a distribution channel
model based on developed-country experiences must be
modified to work in Asia. An infrastructure-related problem is
the scarcity of market research information to assist in
formulating distribution strategies.

2. Economic factorsSome Western MNCs may be interested
in buying their regional distributors, switching partners
before their competitors, or bypassing their intermediaries.
Buying distributors make financial sense if Asian distributors
are cheap and attractive to purchase. Bypassing
intermediaries enables MNCs to move their goods to market
using shorter channels more quickly, ensuring that
acceptable marketing or service standards are maintained for
customer loyalty and brand image.

3. Legal regulations and restrictionsGovernment
regulations and practices can result in distribution difficulties.
Such laws have resulted in small-sized stores which has led
to many inefficiencies and high costs in the overall retail
structure.

Impact of Environmental Changes in Asia on
Distribution Strategies of Companies
Given the dynamic nature of the Asian environment,
manufacturers should be keenly aware of changes that may
impact their distribution strategy.
Asian nations like China and South Korea have revised tax
laws and selectively liberalized their distribution industry to
allow foreign participation.
53 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd 2013. All rights reserved
Impact of Environmental Changes in Asia on
Distribution Strategies of Companies
The increased purchasing power of larger retail chains and
manufacturers development of their own distribution systems
to tap the growing Asian market are expected to diminish the
role of the wholesaler in the region.

Comparing Costs of A Sales Agency versus Setting
Up Ones Own Sales Office
As Figure 15.4 shows, there is one sales level (SB) at which
selling costs are the same for the two channels.
The sales agency is thus the better channel for any sales
volume below SB, and the company sales branch is better
at any volume above SB.

A company can use its direct sales force to sell to large customers,
telemarketing to sell to midsize customers, and distributors to sell to
small customers; but these gains can be compromised by an

Dilution and Cannibalization
To help tap into affluent shoppers who work long hours and have little time to
shop, high-end fashion brands such as Dior, Louis Vuitton, and Fendi have
unveiled e-commerce sites.
These luxury makers also see their Web sites as a way for customers to
research items before walking into a store and a means to help combat fakes
sold over the Internet.
Given the lengths these brands go to pamper their customers in their stores
doormen, glasses of champagne, extravagant surroundingsthey have had to
work hard to provide a high quality experience online.
