Unique attributes

The International Journal of Retail & Distribution Management focuses on issues of strategic significance in retailing and distribution worldwide and provides a forum for researchers in academia, business, consultancy and management. All academic articles are refereed anonymously.

Topicality

The competitive retail sector is under pressure to provide efficient services to hold its share of the market. As consumers demand higher levels of service and supply, they are simultaneously wooed by other alternatives like mail order and out of-town-shopping. The International Journal of Retail & Distribution Management provides a link between production and consumer, and by understanding their relationship it allows retail personnel to study operations practice in other organizations, and to compare methodologies.

Key benefits

Because the journal is not connected to any retail or distribution organization, it remains totally impartial and can publish controversial material as well as highlight special concerns in an objective manner. This makes it an especially valuable resource for a worldwide readership committed to the improvement of standards in retail distribution.
