Retailing in its various formats continues to make a significant contribution to the global economy. Changes, trends and issues in the industry are widely covered and addressed via various sources, capturing the attention of academics, practitioners and the general public alike.
Issues in retailing have caught the attention of the general public, especially in light of recent shifts in consumption behaviour, the continuous growth of digital technologies, as well as the overall dynamic and highly competitive nature of the industry. Such interest has created new opportunities in retail management and marketing. As such, the study of retailing at academic level remains critical for potential candidates currently working or hoping to secure employment in sectors relevant to retailing.
