Reviews for Supermarket Wars: Global Strategies for Food Retailers

'Reporting live from the scene, this book is very well timed. It's so current, it's not clear who the winners will be or what form the industry will take, and that makes their book all the more interesting. It's a methodical and disciplined survey of developments, and the authors leave plenty of room for the reader to speculate.' - Sir Terry Leahy, Chief Executive, Tesco plc 'A fascinating read about a central feature of modern life.' - Robert Clark, Leading Retail Market Analyst 'Cool, balanced and incisive, it represents a big advance in our understanding of a difficult subject.' - Kevin Hawkins, Director General, British Retail Consortium 'The world retailing market is changing rapidly and the influence of new markets such as China and India is significant. Seth & Randall review this well and outline the big changes ahead. Their findings will stimulate business readers worldwide.' - Lord Edward George 'This exciting book takes retailing to its latest phase - the rise of true world players. All serious business people should read this book and see where the future winners are'' - Lord Ian MacLaurin 'As we all suffer from 'infobesity', those who draw insight from information give us a precious advantage. This book is rich with insight.' - Niall FitzGerald, Chairman, Reuters Ltd.
