Individuals often attempt to influence the behaviors and actions of others in consumption contexts. When exerting influence, individuals rely on specific influence tactics, such as bargaining and emotional appeals. This paper examines the impact of power on the choice of influence tactics in relationships between influencers and targets. Specifically, the impact of balance of power and intensity of power on the choice of influence tactics is investigated. Hypotheses are developed and empirically tested on a sample of sorority members. The results provide support for the assertion that power directly affects choice of influence tactics. Numerous typologies of influence tactics have been inductively derived. For example, Yukl and Falbe (1990) concentratedon identifying the tactics commonly used by managers on their subordinates and peers; Frazier and Sheth (1985) focused on identifying influence tactics used by channel members on other channel members For the influence tactics of power there have many typologies that have been inductively arisen such as influence tactics used by channel members on other channel members(Mallalieu & Faure 1998).
