Features: Channel Conflict is actually a very difficult topic to write about. Simply put, we couldn’t find any textbook guidance or expert studies on this subject. To ensure that marketing managers don’t find the reading experience awkward or challenging, we took bold innovations in our writing style, breaking away from the conventional format of such books. We created two characters—a consultant named Ding and a marketing manager named Wen—and structured the entire book around their dialogues, unfolding it in a scenario-based manner. This approach not only provides a vivid introduction to the various phenomena, causes, and solutions of channel conflict but also systematically presents perspectives and tools for channel management, making it highly practical. The writing is lively, engaging, and full of charm, with exquisite layout design, bringing a delightful reading experience!
We only found a few scattered articles on channel conflict in the Sales & Marketing magazine and website. However, in real-world marketing practice, channel conflict is a daily challenge that marketing managers must face. This book had to be written entirely based on our real-world materials, practical experience, and accumulated insights. We truly embarked on this journey with the spirit of an ant gnawing at an elephant. The project didn’t start smoothly—our collaborator disappeared without a trace, taking away a significant amount of our data. At the time, Xu Jiuzhou, the company that adopted this project, was deeply affected. But we didn’t give up. We gradually collected, wrote, revised, and compiled the content, pausing multiple times along the way, but ultimately persevered and completed the entire book. Only we know the ups and downs of this process.

Of course, this approach also added a great deal of work to us.
