Retailing Environments in Developing Countries / Edition 1

by John Dawson, Allan M Findlay, Ronan Paddison

Overview

Retailing in less developed countries can take any number of forms and fulfils a wide range of different needs. As this book shows it is susceptible to cultural as well as to economic forces and it needs to be analysed in terms of both global economic shifts and place-specific social and economic formations.
