Abstract

The bookstore industry in China is facing a tremendous change today due to online retailers’ participation which has encroached a significant portion of physical retailers’ market shares. Hence, based on the increasingly severe competition, the paper aims at opportunities that may change the industry and projects associative conceptions about the future bookstore. In the sequence of demonstrations, the paper will first provide a macroscopical perspective to reveal today’s arena of the bookstore industry and expound on different stakeholders’ relationships. Besides, some paragraphs will mention scholars’ constructive opinions within the industry dynamics. Subsequently, the paper will discuss the advancing operational activities and suggest specific trends or assumptions that will lead the future industrial ecosystem. In addition, topics that are slightly outside the industry will be correlated to corroborate that bookstores are expecting coalescence and innovation. In essence, the paper is dedicated to suggesting more possibilities for developing a feasible O2O business model, serving as a guide for real-world bookstore operators.
