Features: Starting from the mid-1990s, China experienced a comprehensive retail revolution. The eight retail revolutions—department stores, one-price stores, chain stores, supermarkets, shopping malls, vending machines, pedestrian commercial streets, and online stores—which took Western countries 150 years to develop, emerged almost simultaneously in China. This book, with a rigorous academic approach and a historical perspective, presents a relatively complete discussion of the world's eight retail revolutions for the first time. It provides an overall review of the retail revolution in China, predicts the development trends of various retail sectors in China, and proposes systematic development recommendations. This book is suitable for retail and distribution industry managers and researchers, as well as faculty and students in business schools.
