Intermédiation et création de valeur dans les canaux : une revue de littérature
2012
Marketing research has devoted more and more attention to the analysis of consumer behavior. Similarly, distribution research has focused on retailing and shopper behavior.

Analyse de la digitalisation du canal de distribution : une approche triadique dans l’étude du risque de désintermédiation des grossistes traditionne…
2020
Intermediaries are little studied in Management Science. The research proposes to put forward a particular type of intermediary that is the wholesaler. Faced with the digitization of all sectors, it is interesting to question the capacity of wholesalers to generate added value in the distribution channel. Based on the triadic methodology and the field of study, it turns out that digital can modify one of the inter-organizational relational processes. In the absence of a strong demand for downstream distribution channels, wholesalers are struggling to put in place a digital strategy that makes sense. On the other hand, this delay allows the industrialist to take the lead on information flows…
