Outline of Research at the Start

技術や制度が変化する中で、製造業者は新奇な競合チャネルに直面するが、しばしばその変化に対応できず、過去に構築した強力なチャネルの優位性を失う事態が生じている。製造業者が環境変化に対応できず、チャネル転換が遅くなるのはなぜだろうか。本研究は、新制度派アプローチをベースにしつつ、二次データ、アンケートデータ、ヒアリング、ゲーム理論モデリングといった多様なアプローチを用いて、この問題に答える。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Products are distributed from manufacturers to consumers through various channels. For manufacturers, the critical issues in building competitive advantage are (1) which channels to use to sell their products and (2) how to manage relationships with intervening players (distributors, etc.) in those channels. However, even if a manufacturer succeeds in building a competitive channel, that advantage will quickly disappear in today's constantly changing market environment. In such an environment, how can manufacturers successfully reconfigure their channels or how should they interact with channel players to maintain their competitive advantage? Numerous theoretical and empirical studies have been conducted to answer these questions.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

既存のチャネル研究は、経済的効率性の観点から、合理的なチャネル構造・チャネル関係を議論してきた。しかし一旦、最適なチャネルを構築できたとしても、環境変化に合わせてその見直しと修正が必要となる。既存研究が軽視してきた、このダイナミックなチャネル形成・維持・転換プロセスに光を当てたところに、本研究の学術的意義がある。またオンライン・ショッピングの普及に象徴されるように、わが国の流通構造は大きな変化に直面している。そうした環境変化に合わせたチャネルの修正・適応問題は、多くの製造業者に共通した悩みと言えよう。本研究は、こうした経営現場の問題についても考慮し、実務的な示唆を提供した。
