我国城市流通体系模式及政策选择

China’s Urban Distribution System Pattern and the Policy Choice

"批发商无用论"下美日两国批发商虽然命运不同,但美国的"小批发大零售"模式和日本的"大批发小零售"模式都体现出很高的流通效率。日本大型批发商在信息技术支撑下的再度崛起,低成本地实现了购买频率高、价格中流通费用比重大的食品日用杂货的"多次少量配送"。我国的流通发展战略并不是两种模式简单地二选其一,流通体系是一个社会系统,任何国家任何做法的成功都是在其系统环境下取得的,借鉴需慎重。在市场经济体制下,政府的流通政策对流通系统结构改变所起的作用不可能是根本性的,而只是辅助性的作用。

Under the belief of ＂useless wholesalers＂, Japanese and American wholesalers have different fates. Yet both American ＂small-wholesale, large-retail＂ and Japanese ＂large-wholesale, small-retail＂ demonstrates the high distribution efficiency. With the support of information technology, large Japanese wholesalers have rejuvenated and realized, at a low cost, ＂small-sum, high-frequency distribution＂ of groceries which are frequently bought and whose price has a large proportion of distribution. The development strategy for China＇s distribution system is not to choose between the two modes. Distribution system is a social system and the success of any country or any mode has its unique system context. So, while learning from others, we should be prudent. In the light of market economy, the government can only play a support role, but not try to fundamentally change the structure of distribution system.
