Retailing is changing extremely rapidly in the emerging economies,
both as a driver of social and economic change, and a consequence
of economic development and the rise of consumer societies. Changes
that took many decades in Europe or North America are happening at
a much greater speed in emerging markets, while regulations
continue to be hotly contested in these markets, raising questions
about appropriate business strategies for both globalising firms
and local contenders. While much has been written about retail in
emerging markets, the focus has been primarily on the nature of
entry strategies for Western retail companies. This book seeks to
capture the impact of both internal and external regulations on
retail development and strategy in emerging markets. It provides a
comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the development of
retailing in a wide range of emerging economies, and seeks to
capture the interplay between both retail policy and retail
strategy and the theoretical implications of this on retail
development as a whole. This book will be of interest to academics,
researchers and advanced students with an interest in retail
development in emerging markets, international business/strategy
and international marketing.
The book is made distinctive by the presentation of practitioner
insight allied with academic underpinning to create a powerful new
framework of unusual breadth and depth. The book communicates
contemporary retail thought from the perspectives of both senior
international retailers and expert observers. It is structured
around four sections: * Section I: retailing in an international
context * Section II: chapters from faculty at Templeton College in
Oxford outlining the key issues with review questions, discussion
topics, assignments and further reading. * Section III: A unique
series of in depth interviews with senior executives in the world's
major retailers conducted by the Oxford Institute of Retail
Management. Each case is backed up by company and sector
information to demonstrate the changing retail and global
environment. * Section IV: A summary and overview with further
exercises assignments and recommended reading.The book is an
innovative and highly effective new text for both students and
executives needing to understand the complexities of the latest
global developments and thinking. * Dual focus, with firm
conceptual context supplied in the introductory essays and
practitioner insight provided by the case studies. * Includes a
range of learning features to help you test your knowledge and
develop your thinking. * Talented contributor team offer rigorous
and far-reaching analysis of the issues and case histories.

This book compiles the current state of knowledge on omnichannel
retailing, a new concept in which all sales and interaction
channels are considered together, and which aims to deliver a
seamless customer experience regardless of the channel. It
highlights case studies and examples related to each of the many
barriers to an omnichannel approach, demonstrating not just success
stories, but also failures. While omnichannel has already been
recognized as an emerging retail trend, the articles in this book
fill an important gap in research on the topic. Providing readers
with essential insights on the omnichannel strategy and its
implementation, the book will also stimulate academic discussion on
this emerging trend.
This book focuses on supply chain management in emerging markets.
The authors present issues relating to supply chain development
covering countries such as Brazil, China, the Czech Republic,
Russia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nepal, Turkey, Egypt and South Africa
and focuses on the challenges faced when the supply chain is
designed and maintained. Such challenges derive from issues to do
with risk, security, quality management and infrastructure among
others. Case studies and survey results are presented in chapters
which explore practical solutions to these issues. The latter will
be of interest not only to local and international managers, but
also to students who are interested in emerging economies. The book
covers manufacturing, retail and food chains at the local and
international levels.
The global digital revolution has changed consumer society, service
expectations, and funding models forever. Value Driven Service
Innovation explores these changes from the perspectives of leading
thinkers and practitioners in the field of innovation today.
This book focuses on the need to develop sustainable supply chains
- economically, environmentally and socially. This book is not
about a wish list of impractical choices, but the reality of
decisions faced by all those involved in supply chain management
today. Our definition of sustainable supply chains is not
restricted to so-called "green" supply chains, but recognises that
in order to be truly sustainable, supply chains must operate within
a realistic financial structure, as well as contribute value to our
society. Supply chains are not sustainable unless they are
realistically funded and valued. Thus, a real definition of
sustainable supply chain management must take account of all
relevant economic, social and environmental issues. This book
contains examples from a wide range of real-life case studies, and
synthesizes the learnings from these many different situations to
provide the fundamental building blocks at the centre of successful
logistics and supply chain management.
