国际期刊IJPDLM关于零售物流专刊征文

International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management的特刊征稿启事

特邀编辑：Carlos Mena 和Michael Bourlakis (Cranfield School of Management)

我们购买产品的方式正在随着社会、经济、环境和技术的发展趋势发生变化。零售商直接接触这些变化，因为他们与顾客首先同时面对这一“关键时刻”。未能按时以恰当的成本、在合适的条件下提供正确的产品，将导致整个供应链上的公司在销售中受到损失(Ehrenthal & Stölzle, 2013; Ettouzani, et al., 2012)。这对零售物流具有深远的影响。

在过去的十年里零售物流已经有了重大转变(Fernie and Sparks, 2009)，由于消费行为的变化和技术的刺激，例如在家的电子商务购物、移动商务、追踪和跟踪,自动ID,和数据分析。这导致了多通道和全渠道产品供应的发展，这改变了商业模式,迫使零售商和制造商重新思考他们将产品送达客户的方式。同样地，我们看到了客户道德的提升以及零售商努力改善他们的环境和社会认可(Spence and Bourlakis, 2009)。

管理这些变化需要在仓储、分销和零售基础设施上有重大投资(Menachof et al., 2009)。满足中心（fulfillment centers）、夜晚商店、送货上门网络、新的运输技术和客户集散点的发展都是为了应对这些变化。这些发展也创造了新的挑战，如显著增加了客户退货和相关成本的影响(Bernon, et al., 2011)。目前，多业务模型刚刚出现，还不清楚什么样的模型能够生存下来并快速发展。

研究协会一直活跃在这一领域,帮助从业人员理解这些市场上的变化，以及这些变化对零售物流的影响。然而,这种现象的动态特性意味着需要不断研究新进展和评估其对零售业物流的影响。这种特殊的问题为这个领域的研究提供了越来越多的机会。更多的主题包括，但不限于这些：

Ø 零售物流和客户；

Ø 零售物流战略；

Ø 需求链管理（在零售业物流的背景下）；

Ø 零售物流的新商业模式；

Ø 零售物流的协作；

Ø 网络销售；

Ø 全渠道和多渠道物流；

Ø 运输和配送（零售）；

Ø 库存（零售）；

Ø 零售物流创新；

Ø 智能技术、智能交通系统和信息通信技术；

Ø 跟踪和追踪；

Ø 分析、大数据和供应链；

Ø 零售物流建模和仿真；

Ø 可持续零售物流；

Ø 绿色零售物流；

Ø 逆向物流（零售）；

Ø 道德消费及其对零售业物流的影响；

Ø 国家和国际零售物流；

Ø 零售物流和公司绩效。

Retail Logistics - Due date December 31, 2014

Special issue call for papers from International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management

The way we buy products is changing due to social, economic, environmental and technological trends. Retailers are directly exposed to these changes as they face the first ‘moment of truth’ with the customer. Failure to deliver the right products on time, at the right cost and in the right conditions will lead to losses in sales for companies across the supply chain (Ehrenthal & Stölzle, 2013; Ettouzani, et al., 2012). This has far reaching implications for retail logistics.

Over the last decade there has been a major transformation in retail logistics (Fernie and Sparks, 2009), driven by changes in consumer behavior and stimulated by technologies such as home shopping e-commerce, mobile commerce, tracking and tracing, Auto ID, and data analytics. This has led to the development of multi-channel and omni-channel offerings, which are altering business models and forcing retailers and manufacturers to rethink the way they reach customers . Similarly we have seen the rise of ethical customers and retailers’ efforts to improve their environmental and social credentials (Spence and Bourlakis, 2009).

Managing these changes has required significant investments in warehousing, distribution and retail infrastructure (Menachof et al., 2009). The development of fulfillment centers, dark stores, home delivery networks, new transport technologies and customer collection points are all responses to these changes. These developments are also creating new challenges such as the dramatic increase in customer returns and the associated cost implications (Bernon, et al., 2011). Multiple business models are emerging and it is still unclear which models will survive and thrive.

The research community has been active in this area, helping practitioners understand these changes in the marketplace and their implications for retail logistics. However, the dynamic nature of the phenomenon means that it is necessary to continuously investigate new developments and assess their impact on retail logistics. This special issue intends to address the growing opportunities for research in this field. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

- Retail logistics and the consumer
- Retail logistics strategies
- Demand Chain Management (in a retail logistics context)
- New business models for retail logistics
- Collaboration in retail logistics
- E-tailing
- Omni-channel and multi-channel logistics
- Transport and distribution (retail)
- Warehousing (retail)
- Innovation in retail logistics
- Intelligent Technologies, Intelligent Transport Systems and ICT
- Tracking and tracing
- Analytics, big data and the supply chain
- Retail logistics modelling and simulation
- Sustainable retail logistics
- Green retail logistics
- Reverse logistics (retail)
- Ethical consumption and its implications for retail logistics
- National and international retail logistics
- Retail logistics and firm’s performance
