Supplier‐Retailer Collaboration in European Grocery Distribution

Abstract

Describes a research project conducted throughout Europe, aiming to establish the extent of collaboration in the grocery supply chain and to quantify the true benefits of increasing “partnerships”. Addresses two of the six areas of collaboration identified by the study: product, and information flow. Looks at the state of collaboration in various European countries, the opportunities presented by the use of electronic data interchange and the potential for cost reduction.
