Paris, CERR 2012

Paris, June 2012

The first edition of the colloquium on European research in retailing was held in Paris, on the Paris campus of the ESSCA School of Management. The point was to bring together European researchers so that they could share insights into the latest research on topics related to retailing in Europe. The guiding theme was retailing in post-crisis in Europe. Given that the European market is no longer a growing one, to be able to sell, any manufacturer or producer has to satisfy ever more picky and jaded consumers, as well as fighting ever more competition both from Europe and the rest of the world.

At that first edition, 27 communications were made by researchers from 10 different countries representing 21 research labs.

A best paper award was handed to Christophe Bèzes for his work on the effect of channel congruence on a retailer's image.
