Abstract

This paper discusses the process model of consumer logistics by Granzin and Bahn (1989) from the perspective of the shopper. Thereby, we propose a model of shopper logistics and provide further insight into the planning and execution of shopper logistics based on an empirical study amongst private households. Our findings identify a distinction between planning and executing logistics activities which are not performed in a sequential but in a simultaneous manner.
