Scoping and conceptualising retailer internationalisation
指出国际零售商的全球影响力在全球化讨论中被忽视，原因在于缺乏独立于国际生产理论的概念体系。文章探讨三大问题：大型零售商国际化是否导致销售全球集中、零售国际化与生产国际化的差异、以及零售商向东道国转移了什么。
The impacts and activities of international retailers have been largely ignored in the globalisation discourse. A possible reason for this is the absence, in international retailing, of concept and theory that does not hang on the coat-tails of international production. The paper attempts to consider international retailing in its own right. Three linked questions are explored. Has the internationalisation process of the large retailers resulted in an increase in the global concentration of sales? In what ways does the process of retailer internationalisation differ from the internationalisation of production? What does the committed international retailer transfer to the host country during the internationalisation process?
