| Subject Overview: | Marketing channels are foundational to the marketing mix. Future managers, therefore, need to appreciate how marketing channel strategy contributes to and enhances the other elements of the marketing mix. With the arrival of the Internet, many thought traditional “bricks and mortar” marketing channel members would be “disintermediated” out of existence-this has not happened.
