Retail's future is on the line
Brown, S.
Retail's future is on the line - 2004 - Estates Gazette (0404) 24 January 2004 98-99(2) .
Examines the progress of e-commerce and whether it has, as predicted, revolutionised the way we shop. Looks at e-commerce's different development rates in Europe, which reflect the north/south divide evident in its retail trade structures, consolidated in the north and more fragmented in the south. Describes the e-economy benchmarking framework commissioned by The Office of the e-Envoy and the DTI. Rates the US, UK and Canada as having the best environment for e-commerce and divides wired Europe into three tiers: pioneers, followers and laggards. Concludes that customer fulfilment and security issues remain the most important barriers to e-commerce growth and warns retailers and investor/developers not to be complacent about the future impact of e-commerce.
