This feels especially useful if you want retail theory to make sense in practice, because it keeps grounding big ideas in recognizable companies like IKEA, Tesco, and Best Buy. Rather than reading like a dry academic text, it gives you a broad, up-to-date view of how retailers actually think about strategy, channels, and competition. A good pick for students or professionals who want international perspective with concrete business examples.
