Retail planning and the small business in Holland

Abstract

The structure of the retail trade in Holland has been compared to that in the UK; certainly they have the same apparent dominance by declining independents and a relatively large proportion (20.3%) in the hands of steadily growing multiples — although they are necessarily much smaller than ours. In this article Dr Kirby looks specifically at retail planning policies and at direct government involvement.
