The non-globalisation of modern food retailing: The case of the failed Coop Norden merger
By discussing the creation and subsequent failure of Coop Norden, set up by the Scandinavian consumer co-operatives in 2002 as a common wholesale and food retail enterprise, this article provides insights into the nature of the Scandinavian food retail sector and co-operative enterprises in an era of globalisation. The article combines recent research on the globalisation of retailing with the academic literature on the economic position and deve…
Time for a Nordic business history initiative
The current state of Nordic business history is by certain estimates better than ever. Nordic business historians publish extensively in leading international journals and have a strong presence at international business history conferences. Still, in this discussion article we raise a yellow flag of warning for the future of Nordic business history.

The paper discusses this issue by focusing on one of the major fields of research among economic historians …

As a …

To analyse this question the paper offers a comparative analysis of three selected consumer co-ops; one…
