Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, grade: 1, European Business School London / Regent's College, language: English, abstract: This research is concerned with the evaluation of factors that contribute towards sustainable competitive advantage in the food retail sector in China. Increasing globalisation encounters problems to market particularities from the macro and micro point of view. This research emphasises on the evaluation of political, economical, social, technological, ecological, and legal factors, the market attractiveness based on the bargaining powers of buyers and suppliers, the transformation of resources into capabilities, and the creation of value along the supply chain of key international market players. The research is undertaken on the bases of cutting edge literature, articles, and journals. It is enriched by the use of primary research in the form of an interview with the general manager of Metro Cash & Carry, the world’s largest self service food and non food retailer. Contemporary studies have been conducted through online sources. The contributing factors for a successful strategic alignment in China are economies of scale and scope. This has been gathered from the analysis and encompasses t the product range and the store format adaptability and excellent procurement logistics with regards to strong supplier relationship management. The store format adaptability arises from excellent local supplier relationship for optimized product fit. The implications of this research derive recommendations in the area of quality and freshness of product assortment, excellent global procurement logistics, political negotiation powers, and organic growth for sustainable competitive advantage for future expansion.

Book Synopsis Global Strategies in Retailing by : John Dawson
Download or read book Global Strategies in Retailing written by John Dawson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Large and medium sized retailers have increased their international operations substantially over the last 25 years. This is evident in: the number of countries to which these retailers expand; the growing international sales of retailers; and the heightening of the level of commitment of retailers to their international activity – a trend that is likely to continue over the next decade as general globalization in the service industries increases. The managerial implications of the moves to become global are considerable. Different retailers are pursuing different approaches, to varying degrees of success and are no longer simply multi-national, but are also multi-continental. Consequently, existing concepts and theories of international business fit uneasily in explanations of international retailing, so new corporate strategies need to be explored. Featuring in-depth studies of seven retailers, by international scholars from Japan, the UK and Sweden, Global Strategies in Retailing explores recent developments in strategy that are related to international retailing and in particular, the emergence of a Global Portfolio Strategy. As such, this book will be important reading for all international business and retailing students and academics researching in these areas.
Book Synopsis Retailing in Emerging Markets by : Malobi Mukherjee
Download or read book Retailing in Emerging Markets written by Malobi Mukherjee and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retailing is changing extremely rapidly in the emerging economies, both as a driver of social and economic change, and a consequence of economic development and the rise of consumer societies. Changes that took many decades in Europe or North America are happening at a much greater speed in emerging markets, while regulations continue to be hotly contested in these markets, raising questions about appropriate business strategies for both globalising firms and local contenders. While much has been written about retail in emerging markets, the focus has been primarily on the nature of entry strategies for Western retail companies. This book seeks to capture the impact of both internal and external regulations on retail development and strategy in emerging markets. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the development of retailing in a wide range of emerging economies, and seeks to capture the interplay between both retail policy and retail strategy and the theoretical implications of this on retail development as a whole. This book will be of interest to academics, researchers and advanced students with an interest in retail development in emerging markets, international business/strategy and international marketing.

Book Synopsis Restructuring of Food Retail Markets in Countries of the Global South by : Christine Hobelsberger
Download or read book Restructuring of Food Retail Markets in Countries of the Global South written by Christine Hobelsberger and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This explorative, primary data-based study provides findings on the first nearly two decades of the emerging supermarket industry in Bangladesh, in particular its capital city Dhaka. The objective is thereby twofold: On the one hand, the study traces the so-far development of supermarkets in Dhaka, and Bangladesh, and depicts current hindering factors to the local supermarket industry’s further development, as well as supermarket managers’ measures to tackle these challenges. On the other hand, the study explores the (potential) implications of emerging supermarkets for other food retailers on-site. To this end, the study’s focus lies on so-called wet markets (Bengali: kacha bazars) as an exemplary “traditional” food retail format. Here, the study strives for the determination of supermarkets’ competitive pressure on kacha bazars in Dhaka, and kacha bazar vendors’ corresponding (proactive) coping strategies. The study is based on theoretical and conceptional reflections on markets and market structures, the fundamentals of retail management and modern food retail, and research findings on supermarkets’ structural impact on food retail markets in other country contexts.

Download or read book An empirical investigation of supermarket differentiation written by Cornelia Obitz and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2008-09-23 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Shopping at supermarkets plays an important role in our all lives. Food consumption increased immensely over the past decades and transferred food retailing into a potential and profitable market especially for big supermarket chains in the UK. However this has been realised not only by a few enterprises, thus food retailing became a challenging and demanding business in a high competitive environment. In correlation with these facts the first question that comes in mind is how can all these supermarkets compete successfully and defend their market position?. It is generally agreed that competitive advantage is necessary for companies to be successful. Mintzberg explains that supermarkets have represented successful generic strategies in the past but they must go beyond this generic strategy and find a way of competing in this business. With this background differentiation turns out as a current problem in the field of food retailing. Above all, plenty of theories of competitive advantage for manufacturers exist but retailing is still a sparely investigated field. Furthermore food retailers in the UK are operating in a high competitive industry more than every other European country and Cox & Brittain describe grocery retailing in the UK as an interesting field of competitive battles. Thus, theories are applied especially to supermarkets in the UK. Hence, this study focuses on the largest supermarket chains in the UK and the role and importance of differentiation in the field of competitive advantage is investigated and questioned. Academic objectives of the dissertation: The objective of this dissertation is to enrich the profound and wide field of competitive advantage with new findings. With the investigation of differentiation in food retailing a so far scarce analysed but complex topic is enlightened. During the exploration of the literature it became apparent that differentiation strategies are only of value for companies when differences between companies or brands add value to customers. Hence, customer perception creates a further main part of the literature review and the research. An empirical study with customers is conducted to highlight the customer perception of differentiation strategies in the UK food retail industry. The aim of the study is to reveal to what dimensions customer perception can influence differentiation strategies. The end result of primary research will rectify whether theory and [...]

It includes all fast-moving consumer goods such as fresh food or beauty and personal care items. Over the last years, it has become a global phenomenon.

Additionally, in certain emerging markets, expats mention increased food safety and familiarity with foreign goods as major advantages. Kevin Stettner gives an overview of e-grocery activities across 23 emerging markets. He identifies major players, their strategies and the underlying market structure. Stettner’s analysis is complemented by taking into account the respective market environment. He identifies prototypical countries and compares them with developed markets. Which markets evolve better than developed markets? Which ones require further development in basic external conditions? Kevin Stettner describes the status quo of e-grocery.
