连锁经营之所以在19世纪中叶的美国形成并在欧美国家得以大规模发展有其深刻的历史原因。根源在于工业经济环境催生了连锁经营,其内在机理在于通过连锁经营实现规模经济效益进而实现时代利益相关者的价值链均衡。 The reason why the chain management was formed in the United States in the middle of the 19th century and has made large-scale development in Europe and the United States has its profound historical reasons. The root cause is that the industrial economic environment gave birth to the chain management. The intrinsic mechanism lies in the realization of economies of scale through chain operations and thus the equalization of the value chain of the stakeholders in the era.
