Change and continuity in Japanese retailing

Abstract

Derogatory labels attributed to Japanese retailing could be blinding analysts and commentators to the great changes that are taking place in that country. New ideas are having an impact on the complex and fragmented nature of Japanese distribution, but are taking place alongside some very traditional concepts. In this paper Dr Dawson takes a look at the old and new influences affecting Japanese retailing today.
