Summary: | Value facilitation has become a critical element of value creation in buyer-supplier relationships. The literature lacks studies that provide an understanding of how facilitators or intermediaries in a supply chain perceive and create value for themselves and their customer(s) across the distribution channel.

Findings about value drivers of facilitators are discussed as well as implication and areas for future research. |
