Shopping, or more generally retailing, is one the world’s largest and most innovative human enterprises - the shopping experience touches everyone on the planet. Modern shopping has always been dynamic, but at this time the tectonic plates of global retailing are shifting - in some cases dramatically so. These shifts have different origins; economics, globalisation, technology, driven above all else by the changing nature of consumer attitudes and aspirations. All these will be transformational in both mature and emerging markets.
