"Sharing retailing" has also been formally defined as the fifth generation of Gome business innovation model. The emerging of“sharing retailing”is not an accident;such three theories as sharing economy,retail rotation and the cycle of new retail can be used as the theoretica­l basis of sharing retailing.

And all of these are the main driving forces of“sharing retailing”.“Sharing retailing”exists after single channel retailing,multi- channel retailing,cross- channel retailing,omni-channel retailing,and new retailing.
