LITERATURE REVIEW
Praveen kopalle and biswas (2009)
Suggested that until recently, retailers have taken either/or
approach to competition. Either reacting fiercely to competitive
price changes or ignored them all together. Today, however,
firms makes a concerted effort to determine and quantity
competitive effects. In this paper we focused on how pricing
and competitive effects interact as a general phenomena
particularly as it applies to retailing. A general framework was
constructed that enhances the understanding of the emerging
research issues in the area of pricing and competitive effects
and we examine their implications for practice. The areas that
show high promise/opportunity are in the online setting for all
types of goods-fashion, perishable and understanding the
impact of competition. Other opportunities include
understanding the pricing and competitive affects in the
perishable goods category sold in specialty, discount, and
convenience store.
