Domestic retailing, supply chain management, and the rise of fresh food supermarkets in China
研究中国生鲜超市的兴起，分析国内零售商在采购和物流方面的供应链管理，发现其持续主导国际零售商源于内生创新，而非简单移植西方模式。
This study investigates the emergence of fresh food supermarkets and explores domestic retailers’ fresh food supply chain management in China. The study explores two aspects of supply chain management: procurement and logistics. In line with prior research, the results suggest that domestic retailers’ continuous dominance over international retailers stems from their development of supply chain management. This study demonstrates that endogenous creativity fostered the emergence of fresh food supermarkets. Additionally, it underscores the importance of focusing beyond the transplantation route and Western impact when studying supermarkets in less developed countries.
