The segment and product-line field follows Frazier (1999), pp. 232-233, on multiple channels by customer size and by product; the function field follows his function allocation, p. 235; the channel and revenue-share field follows the variety and intensity dimensions in Homburg, Vomberg and Muehlhaeuser (2020), online-first p. 1; the partner-governance and review fields follow their findings, online-first pp. 1, 14 and 17. The fields are reader inputs; no company data is supplied.
