It provides an up-to-date, comprehensive synthesis and evaluation of the existing literature on multinational firms and their distributors. Through a chronological description comparing traditional researches and most recent reviews, it presents the authors findings and understanding of the business relationship for a firm with its distributors. With the knowledge acquired, data from the company is mapped to the adapted assessment model, analyzed and applied in solving a real-life business problem.

Overall, the goal of this empirical study is to enable a MNCs or small to medium enterprises (SME) to leverage the model and learnings to assess the performance of distribution channel partners, identify gaps and opportunity, with the goal to grow order ultimately.
