Transforming Retail Channels in the Digital Era: Marketing and Operations Perspectives

Retail channels are in constant transformation in line with the increased digitalization of the economy and the society. Retailers and other agents in the channels of distribution are adapting traditional marketing and operations processes. Changes in shopper behaviour challenge retailers to redefine their business models and stay ahead of competitors.

The International Journal of Retail & Distribution Management is an Emerald Journal with 2018 Impact Factor 2.321 (Thomson Reuters). This special issue is dedicated to contemporary but also traditional phenomena in marketing as well as operations concerning the digital transformation in retailing. Submission around the following topics are particularly encouraged:

  • Digitalisation in retailing
  • Multi-/Omni-channel marketing and operations
  • Shopper/consumer behaviour in omni-channel retail environments
  • Digital innovation and technology in the retail environment
  • Contemporary issues in retail operations
  • Physical and digital retail and service delivery networks
  • Business and retail analytics
       

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This list is indicative, and we welcome any submission that is related to phenomena in physical and digital market places as well as the interface between retail marketing and operations.
