People- Tupperware believed that there business success was through people therefore Brownie had said built the people, and they will build the business. They had reward system for employees. They organized three social events per month.

DISTRIBUTERMANAGERDEALER

In case of Tupperware the network structure had three levels. First the lowest level was the Dealer then was the Manager and Finally at the top level was the Distributor.

The network of Tupperware in any country had 90% women employees , whereas in India it was 100% women employees.

As said by the executives that Tupperware only offered food storage products in India and kitchens in India are primarily looked after by women, it was easier to promote products through women. And they felt that Indian women were not comfortable working with men.

Where as Amway another direct selling company followed a model where the distributors were the center of the model.

The compensation plan followed by Amway resembled a pyramid structure with the people at the top (top distributors) earning the most.

They earned commissions on the sales of the distributors under them.

The distributors at the base of the hierarchy earned the least.A distributor at the top could earn even without selling Amway products through the chain below.
