Abstract

Besides changes in the legal environment, consumer demand and entrepreneurial climate, the years of the 1990s and since have also seen major developments in the procurement markets. As in most other areas, change has been reciprocal with retailers both being influenced by changes and making them. In the preceding chapters of this book the situation on the supply side has already been discussed in some detail. The characteristics of Japanese procurement markets were described as having developed in response to the needs of the high number of small retailers, and as having shown a high resilience against initiatives for change from the retail side. On the whole, the development and expansion of new retail formats did not lead to a drastic overhaul of the distribution system as experienced in other highly industrialized countries.
