The history of retail business development is an under-researched
area. This book considers the emergence and development of modern
retailing from an historical and management perspective in the
period 1750-1950, addressing the need for further research and
providing examples of current research activity. It considers the
early emergence of retail forms in the late eighteenth century, the
evolution of retail forms in the nineteenth century, and the late
adaptation of retail management in the early twentieth century.

The book considers the early emergence of retail forms in the late
18th century, the evolution of retail forms in the 19th century and
the late adaptation of retail innovation in the early 20th century.
Retail has been considered national, or even local in character. In
the 1990s a different environment emerged. The increasing dominance
of distribution channels by large retailers, the emergence of
global regional trading areas such as the single European market,
and the convergence of international consumer tastes have led to a
shift in perspectives. The large retail enterprise which does not
think on an international basis faces marginalization by those
competitors who are building international operations. This work
brings together management researchers in the areas of
international retailing. They offer an insight into the mechanisms
which are driving forward the internationalization of retailing.

Nicholas was born in London on September 29th 1957. In Athens, in
mid-September, 1977, after a flash of inspiration, on a bus, on the
way home from Kiffissia, to Metamorphosis, in the suburbs of
Athens-he wrote his first poem. He was nineteen. At the age of
twenty-nine, during June, 1987, he began to get sudden bursts of
inspiration and started writing poetry very frequently. Being
obsessive-compulsive, he noted the time that he began and ended
each poem. He writes poetry in exited haste, trying to get it all
on paper while the inspiration lasts. In 2009 and 2010 he had more
flashes of 'inspiration' than ever before. Sometimes, he calls them
his 'visions.'
