Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The retail landscape is undergoing a profound transformation, driven by shifting consumer expectations, rapid technological advances, and the explosive growth of digital commerce. Dark stores and quick commerce are at the forefront of this change, redefining fulfillment, inventory management, and customer experience. What began as pandemic-driven solutions have quickly evolved into strategic imperatives that shape competitive advantage in modern retail. By bridging the gap between digital convenience and operational efficiency, these models challenge traditional supply chains and demand innovative approaches to inventory placement, demand forecasting, and urban logistics. Reimagining Retail Through Dark Stores and Quick Commerce offers a comprehensive exploration of the strategic, operational, and technological dimensions of these transformative retail models. Combining theoretical frameworks with practical case studies, this book shows how retailers across sectors and regions are leveraging dark stores and quick commerce to enhance customer experience, reduce costs, and build sustainable competitive advantages. Covering topics such as reconciling instant gratification, carbon footprint reduction, and artificial intelligence, this book is a vital academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, retail executives, supply chain professionals, urban planners, technology providers, consultants, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and more.
