Die enormen Produktivitatssteigerungen vieler Untemehmen durch rein fer- tigungstechnische MaBnahmen reichen heute zum Bestehen im intematio- nalen Wettbewerb oft nicht mehr aus. So miissen verstarkte Anstrengungen in den fertigungsvorgelagerten Untemehmensbereichen Produktentwicklung und Konstruktion zu markWihigen Produktinnovationen fUhren, die nicht nur durch niedrige HersteHungskosten, sondem vor aHem durch bessere und neuartige Produkteigenschaften Vorteile bieten. Solche Anstrengungen sind heute durch die EinfUhrung einer method is chen und rechnerunterstiitzten Konstruktionstechnik (CAD) sowie durch eine zunehmende informations- technische Integration aHer Untemehmensbereiche (CIM) gekennzeich- net. Aber auch diese MaBnahmen haben ihre Erfolgsgrenzen, wenn nicht bei bzw. vor den Produktentwicklungen die Anforderungen des Marktes oder der Einzelkunden erkannt und beriicksichtigt werden. Die haufig als Produktpla- nung bezeichneten Tatigkeiten markt-und kundenorientierter Analysen ei- nerseits und untemehmensspezifischer Untersuchungen andererseits sowie der aus diesen sich ergebenden strategischen Vorgehensschritte zur "Pro- duktpolitik" erfordem ein hohes MaB interdisziplinarer Betrachtungsweise. Gefordert sind gleichermaBen das technische und betriebswirtschaftliche Verstandnis fUr das Machbare aufgrund der Entwicklungs-, Fertigungs-und Finanzpotentiale der Untemehmen, das Erkennen der untemehmensexter- nen Gegebenheiten und des Strukturwandels im wirtschaftlichen, politi- schen, technologischen, Beschaffungsmarkt-und Absatzmarktbereich sowie die Fahigkeit, aus dieser Vielfalt von Informationen und Restriktionen ein erfolgreiches Produktkonzept zu entwickeln und auch durchzusetzen.
This book provides a uniform and coherent approach to the analysis of distribution systems in general and retail systems in particular. It develops the fundamentals of retail demand and supply, and demonstrates how the provision of distribution services is a principal determinant of economic outcomes in retail exchanges for both retailers and their customers, as well as for other agents such as suppliers and franchisors. The author integrates the existing literature with new applications to provide novel insights into the multi-product nature of retailing, the service aspects of packaging, and the evolution of retail formats such as supermarkets, non-store retailers (including the Internet) and shopping centers. He illustrates how the complementarity that underlies retail activities leads to lower average prices for customers. This integrative process also brings out the role of distribution services as mechanisms to exercise economic power. This is evident not only in channels of distribution but in the evolution of Wal-Mart and the development of franchise contracts. The author also identifies the crucial differences between the retailing of goods and the retailing of services. This impressive volume skilfully integrates conceptual, theoretical and empirical research to analyse critical issues in the economics of retailing and distribution. It will be required reading for academics and professional economists interested in industrial organization, marketing, applied microeconomics and business.

The Larder of the Wise: The Story of Vancouver's James Inglis Reid Ltd. traces the history of the iconic store whose traditional Scottish fare and well-remembered hallmarks of "We hae meat that ye can eat" and "Value always" earned the following of devoted customers from inside and outside of the city for almost eighty years. Founded in 1908 and situated for most of its history at 559 Granville Street, Reid's was a fixture in Vancouver's downtown shopping district. Customers were drawn by the store's cured and smoked hams and bacons, expertly prepared sausages and haggis, freshly baked meat pies and scones, and many other favorite items-almost all made on premises using recipes and artisanal techniques passed down for decades. When it closed in 1986 to make way for the Pacific Centre development, many thought an important part of Vancouver heritage was forever lost. But thanks to a treasure-trove of business records, letters, photos and objects preserved from the store, and drawing on her own personal memories and knowledge of the business as the granddaughter of company founder James Reid and the daughter of Gordon Wyness, who succeeded Reid as manager, author M. Anne Wyness brings this special store alive once again. Richly illustrated and engagingly told, this story of a unique family business is also a story of Vancouver itself. Through economic booms and declines, two world wars, shifts in consumer habits, the rise of the suburbs and the changing fortunes of the downtown Granville Street area, Reid's enjoyed prosperity and endured challenges in step with a changing city.

Hungry for change? Put the power of food co-ops on your plate and grow your local food economy. Food has become ground-zero in our efforts to increase awareness of how our choices impact the world. Yet while we have begun to transform our communities and dinner plates, the most authoritative strand of the food web has received surprisingly little attention: the grocery store-the epicenter of our food-gathering ritual. Through penetrating analysis and inspiring stories and examples of American and Canadian food co-ops, Grocery Story makes a compelling case for the transformation of the grocery store aisles as the emerging frontier in the local and good food movements. Author Jon Steinman: Deconstructs the food retail sector and the shadows cast by corporate giants Makes the case for food co-ops as an alternative Shows how co-ops spur the creation of local food-based economies and enhance low-income food access. Grocery Story is for everyone who eats. Whether you strive to eat more local and sustainable food, or are in support of community economic development, Grocery Story will leave you hungry to join the food co-op movement in your own community.

The retail industry globally is in the early stages of an era of profound, perhaps unprecedented, change. This book is intended to serve as a robust and practical guide to leaders of enterprises tasked with both understanding and delivering success in the new landscape of retailing. The book firstly describes the major directions and drivers of change that define the new global landscape of retailing (Part 1). Accelerating technology change, the rise to prominence globally of internet enabled shoppers and the rapid emergence of entirely new retail enterprises and business models are combining to re-shape the very fundamentals of the retail industry. No longer are shops needed to be in the business of retailing. No longer is choice for the shopper limited to the neighbourhood, town or even country in which they live. No longer is the act of retailing solely the preserve of traditional retail enterprises as internet-enabled businesses, technology, logistics, suppliers and financial services enterprises all seek direct relationships with the shopper. The new landscape of retailing is an unforgiving one. Success can be achieved more quickly than has ever been possible before but failure is equally rapid. The opportunities in the new landscape of retailing are profound, but so too are the challenges. Part 2 of this book discusses the structures, skills and capabilities retail enterprises will need if they are to be successful in this new landscape and the skills and perspectives that will be required of the leaders of retail enterprises. Case studies of innovative and successful enterprises are presented throughout the book to illustrate the themes discussed. Frameworks are presented to provide practical guidance for enterprise leaders to understand and contextualise the nature of change that is re-shaping retail landscapes globally. Clear guidance is given of the capabilities, skills and perspectives that will be needed at both an enterprise and a personal leadership level to deliver success in the new landscape of retailing.

With thousands of shops closing in Britain today, this is the story of a man who made a living by helping retailers open their places of work. Roger Cox was a pioneer in shop siting and development in this country. But when he realised that there were too many of them, he switched his career. He became a freelance lecturer with the aim of showing that practical skills, allied with business theory, was the key to a students' career success. In his book, Roger tells of his experiences in both retail firms and colleges, many of them comical and thought-provoking. Alongside this, the main family pastime has been world-wide travel, much of it in America. Above all, this is an entertaining read.
Along with fast-food workers, retail workers are capturing the attention of the public and the media with the Fight for $15. Like fast-food workers, retail workers are underpaid, and fewer than 5 percent of them belong to unions. In Hard Sell, Peter Ikeler traces the low-wage, largely nonunion character of U.S. retail through the history and ultimate failure of twentieth-century retail unionism. He asks pivotal questions about twenty-first-century capitalism: Does the nature of retail work make collective action unlikely? Can working conditions improve in the absence of a union? Is worker consciousness changing in ways that might encourage or further inhibit organizing? Ikeler conducted interviews at New York City locations of two iconic department stores-Macy's and Target. Much of the book's narrative unfolds from the perspectives of these workers in America's most unequal city.When he speaks to workers, Ikeler finds that the Macy's organization displays an adversarial relationship between workers and managers and that Target is infused with a "teamwork" message that enfolds both parties. Macy's workers identify more with their jobs and are more opposed to management, yet Target workers show greater solidarity. Both groups, however, are largely unhappy with the pay and precariousness of their jobs. Combined with workplace-generated feelings of unity and resistance, these grievances provide promising inroads to organizing that could help take the struggle against inequality beyond symbolic action to real economic power.

Auf der Basis einer theoretischen und empirischen Analyse zeigt
Guido Purper, dass die herkommlichen Betriebsformeneinteilungen zur
Abdeckung der Konsumentenperspektive wenig geeignet sind, und
erarbeitet Klassifikationskriterien, die Konsumenten zur Einteilung
der Handelsanbieter tatsachlich heranziehen. Darauf aufbauend
entwickelt er seine Betriebsformen des Einzelhandels aus
Konsumentenperspektive.
Auf der Basis einer der bislang grossten europaweiten Untersuchungen zum Supply-Chain-Management im Handel zeigt Karl-Hendrik Magnus, dass der Erfolg von Supply Chains massgeblich durch die Gestaltung der Kooperation zwischen Einzelhandel und Herstellern beeinflusst wird und dass nicht jede Kooperationsform leistungssteigernd wirkt: Wahrend intensiver Informationsaustausch und hohe Transparenz erstrebenswert sind, lohnt sich eine enge Verzahnung der Prozesse meist nicht."
Michaela Hartmann strukturiert grundsatzliche Preisentscheidungsprobleme, wobei sie besonderen Wert auf Instrumentalentscheidungen legt. Mit der Unterscheidung von strategischen und operativen Preisentscheidungen wird der Artikelvielfalt und der Sortimentsorientierung im Einzelhandel Rechnung getragen. Sie entwickelt eine Architektur fur Preisinformationssysteme (ARPIS), die die Bewaltigung der hohen Komplexitat preispolitischer Entscheidungsprozesse unterstutzt. |
