Store Choice, Store Location and Market Analysis
This book, first published in 1988, brings together leading researchers from both the
retailing business and the academic world to discuss the latest techniques of analysis and
forecasting in the fields of store choice, store location, and market analysis. Its
rationale is the major restructuring of the UK retailing industry which has taken place
over the past twenty years, and the profound implications of that restructuring for the
type of research necessary to understand, maintain and enhance corporate responsibility.
The contributors present accounts of the development of new and original methods for
retail analysis and forecasting purposes. They lay stress upon practical methods which are
accurate and robust, and which can operate with the type of data typically available to
retailers. The book will provide a major work of reference for retailers, market
researchers, retail analysts, estate managers, urban planners and geographers in many
countries.
