Reаd the fоllоwing cаse mаterial and prepare tо answer questions 13-14: Imagine you are a small, newly entered manufacturer in the U.S. wheelchair industry around 1993. Your wheelchair has several features that no other manufacturers have; in particular, unlike standard wheelchairs currently sold on the market, your wheelchair allows patients to gain control and maneuver without using their hands. The technology behind such a feature has been patented. Since you recently entered the industry, you have limited access to the distribution network, and you are hoping to sell your first wheelchair with the help of distributors. Here is additional information on two different types of wheelchair distributors you are considering: General HME dealers. General home medical equipment dealers, or “general HME dealers,” were storefront operations that sold crutches, walkers, oxygen respirators, and other products. They typically kept a line of standard wheelchairs in inventory for sale or rental and also placed orders on behalf of customers who requested other models. Only experienced users place orders through general HME dealers. Their choices were influenced by experience, referrals from other users, trade magazines, and physical therapists. About 4,000 of the 7,500 dealers in the general HME channel were pharmacies and other small, independent organizations that sold more than 60% of the channel’s total volume. Medical/surgical distributors. The 20 major medical/surgical distributors in the U.S. sold wheelchairs, crutches, walkers, bandages, hospital clothes, hospital furniture, and other products to the nation’s 6,500 hospitals and 18,000 nursing homes. The six largest med/surg distributors, each with sales well over $500 million, accounted for 80% of revenues and commonly negotiated deep discounts from wheelchair manufacturers by placing large orders. Wheelchairs sold through this channel required less service than those sold through other channels. A dozen large chains and buying groups, each with sales over $10 million, accounted for 50% of the channel’s volume. Large buyers forced wheelchair manufacturers to drop prices in this channel by about 15% on average between 1991 and 1993.
