Nevertheless, modern organized retail format is slowly gaining acceptance and can easily be said to be emerging as a sturdy contender among consumers. This book is an attempt to communicate the various development occurring in the retail market especially on account of the evolving consumer behaviour. Typically, the evolution of the retail trade can be studied by having a look at four components-consumers` (shoppers`) behaviour, trade structure, the retailer-manufacturer relationship and competition. It is said that organized modem retail trade has altered the first paradigm of consumer (shopper) behaviour. The profile of the modern format shopper can easily be described as an affluent one with higher and more disposable income, although they face the paucity of time to explore a detailed shopping experience. However, such consumers have also revealed a willingness to pay a premium, provided they receive better service quality at the retail outlet.
