"What Are The Determinants of Channel Productivity—Some Lessons From The People's Republic of China"
The objective of this paper is to identify and measure the relative importance of facilitating and constraining factors that determine marketing channel productivity. Identifying and explaining the factors that influence channel productivity is one of the most important tasks of channel research (Anderson 1985; Bucklin, Ramaswamy and Majumdar 1996; Dwyer and Welsh 1985; John and Weitz 1988; Klein, Frazier and Roth 1990; Stern and Reve 1980). The importance of macro-level efficiency in distribution has led public policy analysts to pay increasing attention to this topic in recent years (Kuwahara, 1997). Improvements in distribution systems have been linked to economic progress in general and to the development of entrepreneurial talent and skills in particular (Samiee, 1993).


The focus of this paper is The People's Republic of China (hereafter, PRC). A significant amount of academic research has concentrated on channels of distribution in China (Chow and Tung, 1994; Sternquist and Zhou, 1995; Goldman and Zhao, 1998; Zhuang and Zhou, 2004; Li and Jaffe, 2007). However, none of these studies dealt with channel productivity. China has been leading IGD's (Global Retailing, 2006) market attractiveness index for several years. While China's real GDP has been growing at a rate of between 8-10 percent from 2003-2006, its distribution infrastructure is still insufficient to enable rapid expansion of retailing institutions to peripheral cities and towns. Therefore, the determination of what factors drive channel productivity is a necessary condition for the implementation of marketing reform.
