Ouverture de ‘Development Policies in Large Retailers’

Abstract

Over-supply and global markets favour ‘standardised selectivity’ in consumption and impose new competition rules for retailers. In particular, market-driven competition emphasizes global economies of scale related to the ‘intensity of sharing’ key resources in a networking system marked by sophisticated competitive collaborations. Over-supply and market-driven competition therefore presuppose a business network and are a challenge to closed organizations hindered by their small size and scope of operations.
