Abstract

We analyze a monopolist retailer's channel management decisions in a product differentiation context. Historically, retailers developed a physical outlet presence after developing their primary brand chain. Here, we evaluate the online channel decisions of a retailer and its interaction with the physical channels available; possibly both primary and outlet chains.
