Abstract
In this article, export marketing channels are discussed from a theoretical point of view. There are many studies on export marketing channels, both empirically and theoretically oriented [Bakker, 1980]. It seems to us, however, that their link with general theory of marketing channels is weak [e.g., Stern & El Ansary, 1982]. International marketing, as a subdiscipline of general marketing, might possibly enlarge its understanding of marketing channels by relating general marketing theory to specific features of international marketing.
