Channels of distribution, their levels and trends of development

An important task of managers of any economic entity is the correct selection of the distribution channel for the sale of products. Through distribution channels, the finished product is brought from the manufacturer directly to the end user. In the modern world, there are three types of distribution channel levels: single-level, two-level and three-level distribution channels. The formation of the product price depends on the number of intermediaries. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of the producer and the buyer, it is necessary to choose the most rational distribution channels, with the lowest costs, suitable for each business entity.
