Definition Disintermediation. Description.
Disintermediation is the removal (or obsolescence)
of an intermediary role in the value
chain between manufactures and consumers. For example:
-
The classic disintermediation of computer retailers and
resellers by PC-manufacturer Dell through selling direct to end users via
the Dell website.
-
An airline selling tickets direct to the public over the
internet, thus cutting out the travel agent in the selling process.
-
Amazon.com for books and CDs.
Major advantages of disintermediation are lower cost for the
end consumer, plus shopping-convenience for the consumer who does not want
to leave home.
Typical intermediaries in the value chain include: distributors,
wholesalers, brokers, agents, resellers and retailers.
