Cleanup

I'm trying to clean up a few things in this article. I wrote my PhD on retailing, and hope to make some of the distinctions here more in line with the scholarly literature. I apologize if I stepped on anybody's toes in my editing, I'm a Wikipedia novice. --Nicolo Machiavelli 11:52, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

--61.246.184.138 (talk) 09:43, 30 March 2014 (UTC)== Technology == Retail is a huge sector with low margin. However, the technology or the retail software is usually not (relatively). This is a very informative page growing to be conclusive, hopefully. However, to me, the article, conspicuously lacks the technology aspect of it. Retail software sector is huge and has great growth opportunity, especially in the developing countries. It would be great if someone can add a section for software (my personal interest) and technology, or atleast some links to it ~ Miles (23 April 2008, 3:37 PM CST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.87.1.172 (talk) 20:38, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

I found this following statement in the first paragraph of this article -

"Online retailing, also known as e-commerce is the latest form of non-shop retailing"

This is not true. eCommerce has various types - B2C, B2B, G2B, etc. Online Retailing only represents the B2C part of eCommerce.Dheerajakula (talk) 18:42, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Variation by Country

There seemed to be a focus on large western retailers, so I have added some information on the rest of the world, and I'd like to see more on small retailing. Kim9988 (talk) 05:04, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
