  • Abstract
    We have created a taxonomy of e-commerce channel structures and analyzed the strategic implications of these structures. We have identified the drivers of market outcomes in each channel structure and analyzed several business models that have failed because of channel conflict and the notable few that have survived and succeeded. Finally, we recommend strategies that can be successfully pursued in each channel context.
