ABSTRACT
As in the more advanced nations, retailing in the less-developed countries is structurally both a complex and dynamic activity. The contributions published in this volume illustrate that in a number of ways retailing may be considered to be an even more complex activity to study in the developing countries than elsewhere. The purpose of this final chapter is to synthesise some of the findings which emerge from the volume as a whole, and to seek to establish a research agenda for the future.
