The Future of Global Retail goes beyond the eye-opening examples to help readers understand the ‘why’ and get ready for this new, China-inspired paradigm in retail.

China’s new retail is not just about fashion, cosmetics, snacks, data-driven convenient stores and commercial live streaming. The world of retail may have already been upended, but The Future of Global Retail offers inspirational lessons in innovation, customer centricity, digital disruption, purpose and agility for global executives across the entire retail spectrum and other industries. It contrasts and analyses, not only presenting the cases but also sharing insights of the “why” behind the trends and the key lessons to take away based on research and real experiences.
