Examines the extent of internationalisation of the retail market by analysing 250 of the world's top retailers. Looks at which retailers are present in which locations. Considers which retailers are the most mobile; and which are at the cutting edge of the globalisation of retailing. Finds that 90% of retailers surveyed had a presence outside their country of origin, although the scale differed greatly. Finds that just under 15% of the retailers surveyed have a global network covering more than thirty markets. However, nearly half had some presence in each of the three global regions.
