'Evidence and research based, [this book will] generate managerially relevant insights that are valuable for both manufacturers and retailers.'--Nirmalya Kumar, Singapore Management University and INSEAD Emerging Markets Institute'The Handbook of Research on Retailing is an important addition to the burgeoining literature on retailing. The editors, themselves leading academics in this area, have collected an impressive array of expert authors and relevant topics. I was especially impressed with the wide range of coverage in the book, from the strategic (e.g. market entry and exit decisions) to the tactical (e.g. product assortment decisions). The book also offers valuable insights and advice on the major shifts in the retailing landscape due to the digital marketing revolution. I highly recommend this work for researchers and practitioners in retailing alike.'--Dominique M. Hanssens, University of California, Los Angeles, Anderson School of Management, US
