The article deals with the problem of regulating relations between trade and producers of goods in a new plane, in the actively emerging online segment of the consumer market. The authors consider the transformation processes in domestic trade, the digitalization of the consumer market in the conditions of a permanent crisis in the economy, lockdowns, the isolation of the country in the system of international coordinates, the rejection of the free movement of people and resources. They analyze the first results of switching manufacturers of goods and wholesale suppliers from retail chains, as a priority channel of goods movement, to an online channel, new forms and technologies associated with it. They explore the prospects for the development of relations between small and medium-sized manufacturing businesses with a new form of market sales, which today includes marketplaces. They prove that the problems of manufacturers accumulated in relations with retail chains do not disappear anywhere, but only multiply and intensify. The authors substantiate the need to extend trade regulation tools to the sphere of online sales, intermediary operations in this segment, create standard conditions for manufacturers to access these product promotion resources, and distribute measures to protect the interests of small and medium-sized businesses. They analyze the existing regulatory mechanisms and the possibilities of their application in the online sphere. They offer directions for improving the current legislation.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to identify the realignment of the physical distribution process for store-based retailers in their efforts to integrate the online channel into their business model. Multiple attributes of the physical distribution process are evaluated to identify associations with order fulfillment methods adopted by omni-channel retailers. Design/methodology/approach – A multi-method approach is used which includes qualitative evaluation of 50 interviews of supply chain executives from large retailers. Additionally, secondary data about firm size, store and distribution networks, online sales, distribution configuration, and order delivery options are used. The findings of qualitative analysis are incorporated into a quantitative classification-tree analysis to identify associations among distribution attributes, order fulfillment methods and order delivery services. Findings – Retailers are developing a consistent omni-channel physical distribution process in which stores undertake a bigger role in order fulfillment and delivery. Level of online sales, size of distribution network, number of sales associates at a store, and number of years engaged in the online channel are identified as having strong associations with the type of order fulfillment method used by omni-channel retailers. The study finds that retailers are focussed on integrating their store and DC inventories and have the benefit of scale with a large store network. Practical implications – Retailers are reconfiguring their physical distribution processes in the complex omni-channel environment can use the findings of this study to evaluate their strategy and identify the level of realignment effort that is needed. A better understanding of the requirements of physical distribution in an omni-channel setting will guide retailers in developing requisite operational capabilities. Originality/value – This paper provides a first in-depth look at order fulfillment choices in omni-channel retail and identifies efforts that are underway to realign key elements of the physical distribution process.

The Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) was established on the basis of the Treaty on the EAEU, signed on May 29, 2014 in Astana and entered into force on January 1, 2015. Thus, at present, this integration association is celebrating the first five years of its development. Traditionally, in the analysis of integration processes, there is Euro centricity and comparison with trends and successes in the development of the European Union. Recently, however, researchers are increasingly using the theory of new open regionalism and allow the development of integration without the rigid framework of classical regionalism and integration. The article gives a brief analysis of the development of Eurasian integration and the Eurasian Economic Union over the past five-year development period. Statistics are presented that demonstrate a generally positive track in the development of integration processes. The analysis of foreign and domestic trade, the EAEU rating and the current agenda in digitalization format are given. The article also presents the author’s point of view on the opportunities and challenges of Eurasian integration and development prospects.

In this framework and using the example of milk, the article shows the trade practices of retail chains to improve the relationships manufacturer – retailer in the Slovak consumer market.  


Subject Challenges facing the retail sector in Nigeria. Significance Featuring sub-Saharan Africa's (SSA) largest and growing consumer base, Nigeria is central to international retailer expansion strategies on the continent. Led by firms such as grocery chain Spar and consumer goods firm Unilever, they are utilising a variety of strategies, eg, online sales and networks of local traders, to try to manage the country's difficult operating environment. Impacts Cuts to capital expenditure's share of the budget (from 31.1% to 14.2%) will hamper the government's ability to improve infrastructure. By reducing imports, rising domestic agricultural production will partially help offset the effects on consumers of oil-related volatility. Protection from imports for the domestic cement industry will boost profits -- in particular facilitating Dangote's expansion across Africa.
