商品描述

The retail industry is rapidly changing, especially as technologies advance and digital retail becomes more accessible. This book explains the ongoing poly-transformations within the retail sector, offering insight into labor market changes, real estate challenges, and sustainable development.

Throughout the book, the authors analyze and predict various ways the industry needs to change to ensure longevity and stability. One option the authors explore includes creative ways to approach alternatives to participatory retail, which requires social participation. The authors also provide insight into another approach to this topic: tech platforms. In the book, they explain how the dominance of certain platforms can--and in some cases has--led to "retail feudalism."

To best capture the retail sector, the authors home in on the European retail sector as the primary case in the book. Chapters explore strategic adaptation and the adoption of potential policies that can help support the transitions required within this industry.

Emphasizing the necessary collaboration required between policymakers, industry professionals, and academics, The Economics of Retailing provides essential information for stakeholders ready to make informed decisions to support retailing.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

零售業正在迅速變化,尤其是隨著科技的進步和數位零售變得更加普及。本書解釋了零售領域內持續進行的多重轉型,並提供了對勞動市場變化、房地產挑戰和可持續發展的見解。

在整本書中,作者分析並預測了行業需要改變的各種方式,以確保其長期穩定。其中一個作者探討的選項是創造性地尋找參與式零售的替代方案,這需要社會參與。作者還提供了另一種方法的見解:科技平台。在書中,他們解釋了某些平台的主導地位如何,並在某些情況下已經導致了“零售封建主義”。

為了最佳呈現零售領域,作者將歐洲零售業作為本書的主要案例。各章節探討了戰略適應和潛在政策的採用,這些政策可以幫助支持該行業所需的轉型。

強調政策制定者、行業專業人士和學術界之間所需的合作,《零售經濟學》為準備做出明智決策以支持零售業的利益相關者提供了重要資訊。
