Hard discounters are stores that sell a limited selection of consumer packaged goods and perishables - typically fewer than 2,000 Stock Keeping Units - for prices that are usually 50-60% lower than national brands. The best known hard discounters are Aldi and Lidl, but global brands include Trader Joe's, EuroSpin, Biedronka, Netto and Leader Price. Their rise has been monumental; they have irrevocably changed the face of retail in Europe and Australia, and are making steady inroads into the US. Retail Disruptors explores the very real threat that hard discounters pose to traditional retailers and brand manufacturers.
Retail Disruptors is the first book that explores this upheaval, providing expert insight into the business models of the leading hard discounters, and what mainstream retailers and brand manufacturers can do to remain competitive in the face of disruption. Meticulously researched by two of the leading authorities in retail strategy, private labels, branding, and hard discounting, Retail Disruptors is essential reading for all brand manufacturers and retailers who want to retain the competitive edge.

"Finally a book that analyses the discounters from an international, global perspective! Most publications focus on national markets. Not this book. This makes the book definitely a "must read" for everyone professionally involved in the retail business today. But also shoppers, interest groups, investors and policy makers can learn from the unique insights and considerations revealed in the book."
Philippe Gruyters, Managing Director European Marketing Distribution (EMD), Europe's largest grocery
"Professors Steenkamp and Sloot have written a 'must-read' for anyone interested in retail. Truly understand and comprehend the disruptive powers of discount formulas are an essential read and should therefore be on every retail professional's night stand."
Dave Pieters, former General Manager of Coles Australia
"In the last 25 years, hard discounters have achieved remarkable success in the Western world. So far, conventional retailers and brand manufacturers have failed to find the right answers as to how to deal with this retail disruption. The very insightful book by Steenkamp and Sloot uncovers the primary secrets of the hard discount business model. It will be very helpful for retailers and marketers around the world to understand why they are so successful. Just one warning: understanding hard discounters doesn't mean that you can beat them!"
