Overview

Trade is defined as ‘the exchange of goods, services and currencies between two or more parties’, and for most countries worldwide, international trade forms a significant element of their gross domestic product. In recent decades, retail businesses have witnessed enormous changes in the way their trade is most successfully conducted, largely moving away from a focus on the high street to a boom in online retail, or ‘e-commerce’.
