Conflict Resolution Processes in Contractual Channels of Distribution

Dant, Rajiv P., Schul, Patrick L·1992·Journal of Marketing

Abstract

On the basis of power theory, theory of relational exchange, and related literature from the fields of organizational behavior, political science, and communications, a set of hypotheses are derived to predict the choice of the four archetypal conflict resolution strategies proposed by March and Simon. Specifically, the contingent impacts of issue characteristics, dependency, and the emergent sentiments of relationalism on this choice behavior are evaluated empirically within the franchised channel of fast food restaurants. The results reveal a high overall incidence of the integrative problem-solving approach, but a preference for third-party intervention when the disputed issues involve high stakes, complexity, and policy connotations and when the franchisee dependency is rated high.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
