Description
The retailing industry has undergone revolutionary changes since World War II, such as the rise of large multiple companies, bigger stores, new technologies, and internationalization. This wide-ranging, three-volume collection traces the evolution of the industry from before the Industrial Revolution to the dramatic changes of the 1990s, and its topics include new retailing methods, out-of-town retailing, town-centre management, and the internationalization of the industry.
