With all these member countries involved, it is important to ensure a balance among the alliance. INTERACTION elects a Chairman from among its members every two years, with the current Chairman being Richard Scharmann of PBS-Holding. In addition to this there is a Purchasing Committee responsible for selection and sourcing, which work alongside the committees for marketing, and logistics.

Of key importance to the Interaction alliance is the own brand of products, named Q-Connect, which increases customer choice and supplements what is available in manufacturer brands. Use of the Q-Connect brand name and products is only available to Interaction members.
