Abstract

In poco più di venti anni dall’inizio dei processi di riforma del sistema distributivo, la struttura della distribuzione commerciale in Cina è cambiata radicalmente. Questo articolo descrive le principali caratteristiche del sistema della distribuzione al dettaglio e all'ingrosso di beni in Cina. Vengono inoltre spiegate le tipologie di impresa esistenti nel settore ie il modo in cui esse operano.

Within in a period of twenty years after the beginning of the reform processes in the Chinese distribution system, the structure of retailing in China has changed dramatically. This article describes the main features of the retail and wholesale distribution of goods in China. It also explains the types of firms existing within the industry and the way in which they operate.
