Abstract
Competition is requiring firms in marketing channels to form tighter partnerships by using information technology (IT) as a critical enabler. However, the impacts from tighter IT linkages are a double-edged sword; some studies found IT-based coordination increases trust and cooperation while other studies viewed it as a source of contention. The purpose of this study is to assess IT impact on conflict and cooperation by looking at the total flow of communication in marketing channels.
