Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Different target customers is not usually a common cause of conflict between producers and channel partners as long as the products offered do not conflict or compete with each other. In fact, having different target customers can sometimes lead to complementary distribution strategies that can benefit both parties. The other options (lack of communication, different objectives, independent operations, and lack of a channel captain) are all common causes of conflict in a channel system.
