Abstract

German manufacturers of consumer goods, which supply for an annual retail sales volume of more than DM 700 billion, are in a difficult position today: they are suffering from severe profit pressures due to

  • stagnating consumer demand,

  • a massive concentration among their customers in the retail sector,

  • changing service and price demands in the context of the “ECR” revolution,

  • the challenge of the “europeanization” of markets, and

  • uncertain effects of “electronic shopping” on demand and the viability of established distribution channels.
