Abstract

Chapter 2 has provided an overview of changes in China’s economic environment and retail sector, focusing in particular on the transitional period from 1995 to 2005. This chapter will develop a body of theoretical background as the basis to support the answers to the research questions presented in Chapter 1. First, this chapter will review the early scholarly literature, focusing on international retailing and business. Second, it will review the more recent research trends, focusing in particular on the retail internationalization process. Next, the chapter will identify the gaps in the relevant research area. After that, based on the theoretical background, the chapter will set up the research propositions which guide this research. Each of the propositions will be explained within a broader context of the international retailing and international business literature. The chapter will finally draw a conclusion.
