Some scholars propose that the concept of market orientation needs to be extended to encompass a company's indirect customers too. In an action-oriented perspective, this extended market orientation implies the notion of multistage marketing (MSM). For BtoB settings, MSM entails the expanded consideration of both direct and indirect customers; it also provides the necessary capabilities to implement such a market orientation. In this study, Alejandro-Marcel Schönhoff presents a scenario-based experiment, using limit conjoint analysis, to establish an empirical basis for measuring the potential effects of different MSM types on direct customers' willingnesstopay and other key outcome variables. The results show, among other things, that collaborative MSM exerts a positive effect on willingnesstopay, whereas noncollaborative MSM has a negative effect on direct customers' satisfaction and loyalty. Furthermore, the relevance of MSM depends on the direct customers' market power toward their own customers.
