| Abstract: | Internationalization (hererafter as: int.) by retailers (here as: retls.) is a major corporate strategy, having become a substantive research focus for retail academics in Europe. The majority of research has concentrated on the expansionist dimensions. Recently the attention has turned to the role and importance of divestment (here as: div.) and exit within the int. process. Drawing on a database recording international activity by European based grocery retls. over the past 50 years, this paper aims to establish the general characteristics and patterns of div. activity in this sector. Over 270 div. activities have been identified. The geographical, temporal, entry mode and format related dimensions of this activity are explored. |
