Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines and explains the current situation and problems of supermarket chains in England. Supermarket chains are operating in a profitable market but they are confronted with the problem of high competition and compared to manufacturers they have only few possibilities to differentiate. Especially the importance of differentiation is questioned in this book. It is examined whether differentiation is really essential for gaining competitive advantage. For a comprehensive and substantiated demonstration secondary theoreatical data and a study with primary data is used. With theories of manufacturers and retailers possibilities for differentiation are identified. Aspects of customer perceptions are considered as important as differentiation and thus, included and linked to differentiation strategies. A study ascertained best practice by surveying students to examine perceived differentiation factors. Upon critical success factors perceived added value is identified as a major issue of differentiation strategies and included in this study. The research led to the fact that differentiation is not conducted by all supermarkets and that undifferentiation can also be a profitable strategy. Hence, positioning strategies solely based on differentiation is seen as inadequate. For a successful applied competitor based strategy a combination of differentiation types, price and differentiation interdependencies, market segmentation and customers' critical success factors is suggested.

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 [...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, , language: English, abstract: The purpose of this study is to conduct a strategic analysis of Sainsbury’s, a UK based supermarket with an objective to dominate the European retail industry. With its establishment in 1869, Sainsbury’s features as a reputable supermarket chain in the UK. By 2020, its annual revenue was around £26,334 million, thereby guaranteeing its role as one of the foremost UK supermarkets within the retailing industry. Since inception, the organization has incorporated a self-service method of shopping into the UK supermarket; a strategy that enabled it reinforce its position within the industry till 1991, when it nearly collapsed. Sainsbury’s strategic plan endured a significant amount of challenges, all of which required its mitigation to advance in its efficiency in service delivery. For example, the revival of its arch-competitor, Tesco challenged its expansion efforts in an effort to continue to obtain a substantial position within the UK market. At the same time, its leadership uncertainties endanger its efforts towards continuity, especially with reference to implementation of its strategic plan. With reference to the competition; ASDA also features as an opposition within the UK retailing industry, posing considerable threat to the market supremacy of Sainsbury’s.

Book excerpt: Project Report from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: Distinction, , language: English, abstract: The UK’s grocery retail sector is one of the most competitive and fierce in retail. Over the last decade, the UK’s grocery retailing landscape has transformed radically, especially emergence of the Germany and Scandinavia deep discount retailers such as Aldi and Lidl in early 1990s. Hard discount retailer have very distinctive approach than UK’s traditional grocery retail such as Tesco, Sainsbury, Walmart-Asda and Morrison and were lead onto UK by these Traditional retailer which enjoyed high profit margins at the time and they recognised the Gap in the market in terms price and spatial gap in terms of the most deprive area in UK’s towns and cities. By 2015, Germany discount retails have grown record level which followed a period of gradual increase number of store and most favourable trading characteristics even given recession and global financial crises between 2007 and 2009 (Thompson et al., 2010). Having reached record sales, by end of 2014, Aldi and Lidl’s sales have grown by 22.6% and 15.1% and 4.8% and 3.6% market share respectively. On the other side, big four traditional retail Tesco lost sales 1.2%, J Sainsbury 0.7% and Asda and Morrison both 1.6% as well as 1.2% market share in combine (FT, 2015:1). The success of German discount retails has become main concern in UK’s traditional retails. Aim of this paper is to investigation the impact of discount retailers on traditional retailers in UK because German discounters not only direct impact on traditional retailers’ market share, also put pressure on increasing operational efficiency and or decreasing prices (Harvard Business Review, 2006 and van Heerde et al. 2008) which lead this paper’s second aim to analyse should existing traditional retailers develop new flexible business model like Walmart (Jia, 2007). Having successful business strategy, it still begs a question what is the future of this German discounter, third aim of this research paper is to investigate can they (German discounter) be able to beat big four UK’s traditional retailers like what Walmart did in US (Jia, 2007) and Ryanair did British airways (Ruddick, 2014). Due to having time and words limitation, this paper will only focus Tesco in terms of UK’s traditional retailer and German discounter Aldi.

Book excerpt: Due to increased purchasing power of certain consumer segments all over the world and the related growing demand for food specialties for differentiated goods in the international markets, agri-food trade and marketing is no longer focused on commodities only. Key concepts of 'Marketing', 'International Trade' and 'Quality' are taking the forefront in the scientific debate among agricultural economists dealing with agricultural and food products markets. The need for scientific knowledge about several aspects of marketing for quality food products is growing. The aim of this book is to link these key concepts together and consider connections, overlaps, contradictions and complementarities between them. This book contains peer-reviewed articles covering a range of studies on international marketing and trade for quality food products and is edited with the support of the BEAN-QUORUM project, funded by the European Union's Asia Link Programme. The topics covered by the studies range from geographical indications to organic food; from fair trade to functional food; from knowledge about quality requirements to the impact of the quest for quality. The geographical scope of the studies is broad and the perspectives vary including the consumer, the producer and the supply chain side. The focal interest of the studies also range from competitiveness, to policy, to potential demand. The book is of interest to researchers and practitioners in international food networks of all types.

Book excerpt: In this fascinating and challenging work, the author analyses the way water for drinking is produced, distributed, owned, acquired, and consumed in contrasting ways in different settings. From the taken-for-granted, all-purpose water, flowing out of taps in advanced economies to extreme inequalities of access to water of variable qualities, drinking water tells its own interesting story, but also reflects some of the centrally important characteristics of the state and economies of the different countries. From sparkling mineral water in Germany, to drinking water garages in Taiwan, from water tankers in Mexico City to street vendors in Delhi markets, comparisons are made to stretch our understanding of what we mean by ‘an economy’, quality, and property rights, of water. In addition, the study of socio-economics of drinking water provides a route into understanding interactions between polity, economy and nature. One of the major themes of the book is to analyse the ‘sociogenic’ nature of sustainability crises of economies of water in their environmental settings: epidemics, droughts, pollution, land subsidences and floods. Overall it develops an economic sociology, neo-Polanyian approach in a comparative and historical exploration of water for domestic consumption.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2021 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2.1, , course: Ba Business and Management, language: English, abstract: The grocery industry is constantly changing due to the rise in new technologies. To stay relevant in today's society, supermarkets are having to adapt their businesses. This can be hard for certain businesses as introducing new technologies into a business can come with many risks, such as cost. This research's primary aim was to find out how the rise in technology has impacted the way businesses operate and how they have adapted to new technologies, with a clear explanation of digitization and the impact of its development. This study aims to research the impact technology has had on UK supermarkets. Primary information will be collected via surveys distributed to the public, including employees and customers. Other information will be collected using various sources such as the Internet. Different approaches can be taken to collect information depending on the wanted or needed outcome. The research carried out for this paper requires responses from a broad range of people of different ages and backgrounds. Research, a quantitative approach will be used as it will allow for a larger audience. It would also provide faster responses as surveys can be completed by more than one person.
