| Summary: | The choice of retail store location is a very complex process, with many
different stakeholders having interests in both the micro and macro
locations. The goal of this work is to contribute to the better
understanding of the different interests of corporative and public policies
in choosing retail store locations, in order to enable more efficient and
effective trade network development. After having slowed down as a
consequence of the global economic crisis, the retail sector is experiencing
strong expansion in the markets of transitional countries. Insufficient
engagement of public policy in planning trade networks can violate market
competition. An active government role in carrying out the policy of retail
network development in transitional countries is necessary to maintain the
level of competition and prevent big market players abusing their dominant
position. |
