Description/Abstract
Despite ever-tightening retail planning regulation in the UK, the leading food retailers
have continued to add floor space in a remarkably consistent manner, progressively increasing
their domination of the market. This paper examines the innovative responses of those firms to
planning legislation—responses which have included: working within the constraints of that
regulation; exposing and exploiting flaws in the legislation, and circumventing its impacts by expansion
into more fragmented markets. Such responses, have in turn led to the further adaptation
of planning regulation in order to close a series of loopholes that the leading food retailers have
been quick to exploit to aid their expansion plans. The paper concludes by examining
more broadly what these developments imply for organizational adaptation and corporate restructuring.
