On the basis of the obtained results, factors that have the greatest influence on the selection of retail chains in large purchases in Bosnia and Herzegovina at the level of Sarajevo, Banja Luka and Mostar can be determined. The contribution of this research is reflected in the recognition and understanding of the behaviour of consumers in the selection of retail chains in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
