Timothy P. Stratton, Sheila J. Martens

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Researchers continue to add to the litany of features sought by different segments of the retail pharmacy market despite a lack of evidence that pharmacy patronage factors are linked to retail pharmacy performance. Meanwhile, many factors known to affect the performance of nonpharmacy retail businesses remain ignored by pharmacy researchers. A model of business performance is presented as a framework for directing future studies of retail pharmacy operations.
