Written especially for European and international students and suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate students, Retail Marketing addresses the challenges of marketing in the 21^st Century. Across the chapters key elements of successful retail marketing, including developments in omni-channel marketing and the importance of a co-ordinated supply chain to a company’s value proposition, are considered.

Striking a balance between theory and practice, Retail Marketing presents concepts in a clear and comprehensive way with engaging, up-to-date global examples and visual illustrations to help students apply their knowledge to a real world context.

• Discussion Questions and Activities challenge students to engage in further debate and explore concepts
• In-chapter Practitioner Interviews bring to life what students have learned as the author looks at how real business and marketing professionals from diverse companies – including Radley and Proctor & Gamble – carry out their roles; the decision-making processes that they follow and the challenges that they face.
