What isthe problem?
![Page 11: GINO SA: CHANNEL DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081502/55c9be68bb61ebb95a8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
THE PROBLEM
• Choosing between an OEM proposal from Feima and agitating its well- established distribution channel, especially Jinghua.
![Page 12: GINO SA: CHANNEL DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081502/55c9be68bb61ebb95a8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
WHO ARE INVOLVED?
• GINO- the main producer• Jinghua- largest distributor of GINO
in China and accounted 40% of GINO’s China revenue - the distributor
• FEIMA- potential OEM and major client of Jinghua - the buyer
![Page 13: GINO SA: CHANNEL DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081502/55c9be68bb61ebb95a8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
AIM
• Grow its annual unit sales by 20%, industrial sales by 200 units
• Build two OEM & end user channels by improving service standards

RISK INVOLVED
• Feima’s OEM businesses may lead to frayed relationship with existing distributor, Jinghua.
![Page 15: GINO SA: CHANNEL DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081502/55c9be68bb61ebb95a8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
OBJECTIVE
• Choose between pleasing distributor or setting up OEM.
• If OEM: create a pricing strategy for potential OEM’s including Feima.
![Page 16: GINO SA: CHANNEL DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081502/55c9be68bb61ebb95a8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

ADVANTAGESWhy Zhou wants Feima’s OEM business?

IMPLEMENTATION• Feima would be happy about the deal
as it is getting the percentage discount it demanded
• If Jinghua does not agree to the plan due to fear of losing the industrial market a contract may be signed stating that Gino will not acquire any industry burner OEM contract for 2 years
![Page 49: GINO SA: CHANNEL DISTRIBUTION MANAGEMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081502/55c9be68bb61ebb95a8b46a1/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
IMPLEMENTATION• If Other OEMs ask for the same margin
then the discount must be compensated by increase in purchase
