distribute a product that is very similar to a competing product.

Explanation:

Distribution - related ethical issues involve actions in the product - distribution channel. Forcing channel intermediaries to behave in a specific manner affects the distribution process and is an ethical concern in the context of distribution. Not providing pricing info to intermediaries is more about pricing ethics, bribing salespeople is a sales ethics issue, not disclosing product risks to consumers is a consumer - related ethics issue, and distributing a similar product is a competition issue.

force channel intermediaries to behave in a specific manner.
