Abstract

The characteristics of luxury retailing (including the financial resources required and the need to provide superior experiences and exclusivity to consumers) make this sector subject to innovative forces, as is retail in general. This chapter introduces recent research evaluating the extent to which luxury retailers are reluctant or willing to introduce smart retailing technologies in line with other retail (sub)sectors.
