both parties based on equitable terms at minimal of cost.

already has a distinctive advantage over competitors. (i.e. transforming fixed costs to variable costs
by outsourcing, a flat company structure rather than hierarchical resulting in more efficient
response time.)
• The arrangement should be on exclusive basis in order to maximize efficiencies which will effectively benefit
brand, principal and distributor.
