Corporate chain refers to a form of ownership where one company owns and operates multiple retail outlets that sell the same products or services. This is different from independent retailers who own and operate single stores. Consumer cooperatives are owned and operated by their members, while contractual systems refer to a situation where independent retailers group together to share marketing and advertising costs but retain separate ownership. Administered systems refer to a situation where a dominant retailer exerts control over other retailers in a supply chain.
