Winning at all costs

March 2006
This publication examines retail operations across 4 European countries, UK, France, Spain and Germany. We look at how these markets and their cost structures differ, what accounts for the difference and see how retailers can succeed in winning in the face of differentiation.

The publication also demonstrates that there is a significant opportunity for UK retailers to expand abroad to take advantage of growing markets, deregulating trading environments and more fragmented competition. We also speak to some key retailers to get their views on expanding abroad and what lessons they have learnt.
