Retail - Science topic

Although all of the retail brands are doing well, they are still unstable. We must strengthen our global business strategy if we are to make this enterprise sustainable. It's time to assess the key elements and make improvements where necessary.

What are current retail industry use cases of metaverse

I am trying to solve the problem in Lingo18 version, but it keeps saying (no of variables 661355):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Error Code: 221]

Text handle limit exceeded -- expression is too complex.

The error occurred on or near the following line:

53]C4=@sum(dc_q_k_t(dc,q,k,t)|q#GE#qminr(retailers) + dqdcrk(dc,r

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then, I even tried to reduce the size of the input dataset (variable around 225631), but it again says the same problem.

Dear Wojcieh Salabun and coauthors

I read your paper

How Do the Criteria Affect Sustainable Supplier Evaluation? - A Case Study Using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis Methods in a Fuzzy Environment

And these are my comments:

1- Unfortunatelly, very scant information on the scenario is given. The paper only informs that it is related to batteries, give the number of suppliers and say that there are 15 criteria, but don’t say which are they, and give the labels of five sectors or clusters. It only informs that refers to batteries suppliers for swapping stations. And what are swapping stations? As you understand, the reader does not have the obligation to know about them.

2- On page 10 you say: “The resulting ranking was considered as a reference point in the study, with the ranking order of the options presented in Table 1”. I understand that there is a mistake here, since it should be `Table 3’.

3. In section 4,1. You say “A sensitivity analysis also provides more comprehensive knowledge and a greater view of the overall problem, showing the decision-makers what might change in the results under changing external conditions”

This is in my opinion, an excellent contribution to sensitivity analysis (SA) definition and properties. Its merit is that in most cases it is the reason by which a DM can reverse the best alternative and select the second one. Unfortunatelly, this is very rarely mentioned in SA analysis, which relies only on the existent criteria.

However. I disagree with your sentence “Therefore, the researchers adopted an approach in which the weight of each criterion was modified at +/- 20% from the initial value”

I disagree, because you can’t assume that all intervening criteria may change +/- 20%. This is not realistic, since each intervening or binding criterion, that is, that conforms a certain alternative, has its own allowed range of variation and even can have none. In addition, it appears that all criteria are binding, which is very seldom the case, and thus, it could be that only six or seven criteria, out of the 15, are relevant.

4- The paper considers excluding criteria to compute the ranking. I think that this procedure may be incorrect. One thing is to consider irrelevant criteria, determined after a solution is reached, and another, not considering them from the beginning, and solving a problem that ignores criteria, which although irrelevant according to entropy, are needed. Entropy, or better, its complement, information from entropy, tell us which are the most important criteria to evaluate alternatives, but they don’t indicate that some of the others can be eliminated because have a high entropy. They contain information, perhaps very little, but information that it is not advisable to ignore.

Strangely enough, you determine that the most important criterion is C2 or Transportation cost, and you decide to eliminate it?

5- I am curious on something. I guess that batteries are for car factories or for retail. You consider transportation distances, that oscillate between 1055 km between Beijing and Wuhan, to 167 km between Beijing and Baoding, and 926 km between Wuhan and Baoding, but in my opinion, this means nothing if you don’t specify the destination of the batteries that can be manufactured in each of the three places. Obviously, if they are to be used in the same city where they are manufactured, the transportation cost is not very important, but it could extremely important if the distance between origin and destination is high.

You say: “𝐶2 (0.750, 0.857, 1.000) (0.167, 0.200, 0.250) (0.500, 0.600, 0.750) (0.750, 0.857, 1.000)”

This illustrates that from transportation you have three values for each option. But what do they mean?

Of course, it is understood that they indicate in TFN the smallest likable value, the largest possible value and the most probable. But of what? In the case of transportation cost what the refer to? Cost of unit/km?, and in case of distance? As far as I know distances are fixed, unless there are several routes between two places. If they are, why do you need to use TFN?

If there is a manufacturing site, it can be understood in the sense that there a minimum cost of transportation for say train, an upper for say truck, and middle say considering another route, but 0.075 may be a percentage of what? The values between options are quite similar, suggesting that distance is not an issue, what is it then?

6- You assume that only 8 criteria are to be considered, out of 15, i.e., those are the criteria that participate in the selection of the ranking, which for me is a very correct, and unfortunately very seldom done in papers published, where it is assumed that all criteria participate. Now, how did you select the 8 criteria? On what basis?

However, in my opinion, the quantity of criteria that are relevant, in your case, 8, can’t be considered that apply to all alternatives. My research in many cases, constantly shows that the number and the type of criteria is particular for each alternative, and thus, it does not apply to them all in the same set of criteria, although, in general, there are always some criteria that repeat in each alternative, naturally, on the same problem. That is, for A1 they may be C9, C2 and C7. For A2, C2, C5, C7 C10, C15 and C4. For A3, there could be C7, C9, C1, etc., therefore, I don’t think that you van speak of the same set of criteria for all alternatives.

You say “The other criteria did not affect the ranking order of the options”

I agree, provided that in SA you refer to evaluating ONE alternative of the ranking, not all of them jointly.

7- In reality you don’t need to use fuzzy. If you use triangular numbers, which of course is correct, you can use for each type of criterion, two criteria, one for minimizing the lower value (no less than), and another for maximizing the upper value (no more than). In this way, the final value will be computed by the software, and most important, considering their interaction with all other criteria that are using the same resource, for instance money. As un example, if you have a minimum and maximum value for storage, the software will find the INTERMEDIATE value that also satisfies another criterion, for instance, funds to fabricate a product according to demand. Naturally, I am referring to Mathematical Programming.

I hope that these comments are considered useful.

Best regards.

I want to optimize the best pricing strategy for products of a retailer using Value-Based Pricing.

please can you pin point the major key aspects of data science and product development in this regards?

Hi all,

Looking for centrifuge tube-labeling solutions a step or more above straight up sharpie-ing them by hand - that don't break the bank. We're going to need tens of thousands of labeled tubes at the front end of our project.

I've looked into sticker labels, but it is similarly time-consuming and labor-intensive to apply these to the tubes by hand -- and very demoralizing when they peel off!

I've looked into automated solutions like TubeWriter 360, which seems perfect, but is extremely expensive. Another potential solution I have found is a mechanical (but faster and less strenuous) tube labeller called ZapLabeler, which retails for $500. Older TubeWriter models are also available for much less than the 360 model, if anyone has experience with those and if it helped significantly.

To anyone who can sympathize: has your lab come up with any creative solutions to reduce time and labor in the labeling process? If not hand-labeling with sharpie, what does your lab use to apply labels to sample storage tubes?

Thanks in advance, VERY much appreciate any advice!

Hello everyone. Please I need a dataset for a project. It's about predicting sales volume and revenue for a retail business. Please I will be grateful if anyone can share a dataset on this.

Thank you

Extension agencies are advocating a farmer to produce and sell his farm produce at his own level. Is it possible? Or some one else should purchase from him and sell.

I am involved in an EU project and have been asked to identify and interview good practices of small and medium-sized companies in the retail industry, ideally also in smaller towns, that were particularly well-positioned in terms of digitalization before and/or during the pandemic. I would like to find out what contributed to this success and what were the stumbling blocks along the way. The European Commission would like to gain insights from this on how to better support SMEs in the area of digitalization.

So I'm now looking for SMEs from the retail sector across Europe that would be interesting examples. I am very interested in examples in other European countries than Germany and would be happy if you maybe have a tip or further contact for me!

Traditional vehicles of marketing are becoming less and less effective to communicate effectively with a company's target market. Innovative methods of marketing and communication need to be considered and implemented.

Do you think gamification is the way to go? And why? What industry do you think would benefit most from a gamification-based marketing strategy?

Hi,

I am planning research in the area of Lean Manufacturing and platform-based fashion retailers for my MSc thesis. I want to discover the effects of LM in online fashion retail;

What are the common questions to ask in this situation?

What kind of data can be collected for this research?

A population of agents start at different distributors, move to retailers and at the end each agent must return to the distributor he started from. So I simulate this situation with a statechart with state: AtDistributor, MovingToRetailer and MovingTo Distributor.

To save the distributor in Entry Action of State AtDistributor I write:

ritorno.distributor.take();

but there is an error: Description: The method take() is undefined for the type Distributor. Location: Supply Chain GIS/Vehicle/AtDistributor - State

how can I memorize the distributor and then use it in the transition to move the agent?

This 2022 article provides extensive details of the steps involved in a robust scale (measurement) study -

I’m doing a research right now and I’m trying ti find how and to what extent corruption impacts the interest of retail investors in a particular country. After a brief lit review, I tought to correlate and do a regression between the corruption perceptions index and equity shares ownership by households in a given country. Now, I think that If I pop in other control variables it will dilute the significance of this one and I won’t be able to distinguish how high of significance is just corruption. Should I be adding things such as GDP, interest rates, inflation or some other even?

Do you discount if a consumer ask for a discount? And if so by how much? And is there a difference between customers in terms of the discount strategy?

When you answer, please support your answer by scientific papers so I can read more on the topic.

The impact of informal retailers on the financial performance of formal retailers.

The idea is for people who are overwhelmed by the huge amount of products when they come into a store/ supermarket and do not know where to find the products they want. Usually, they will have to find a staff member to ask for directions. Therefore, I'm finding a solution which can help them view their locations on their own phones and search for the place of/ direction to their expected products. The data collected from this activity (such as what products they purchase most, how often they go shopping etc) can then be used by machine learning to figure out the shopping behaviour of customers so as to improve their shopping experience and provide retailers with better business strategy.

Dear all,

I have been reading the article: Garaus, M., & Treiblmaier, H. (2021). The influence of blockchain-based food traceability on retailer choice: The mediating role of trust. Food Control, 129, 108082. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foodcont.2021.108082

In the experimental condition, retailer A traces food through a blockchain and B through a centralized system and the control condition switches the traceability systems for A and B respectively. The dependent variable is "choosing retailer A" (either dichotomous or on a scale from -3 (retailer B) to +3 (retailer A). I believe, to infer a more pure treatment effect, the authors add "prior knowledge of the blockchain" as a covariate. To my understanding, ANCOVA requires similar effects (= equal slopes) of the covariant on the dependent variable. However, to my belief the slopes of prior knowledge on choosing retailer A is the opposite in both conditions. Assuming prior knowledge improves individuals preferences towards a retailer that uses blockchain technology. In the experimental condition I would expect increasing levels of prior knowledge to be accompanied by higher levels of choosing retailer A. However, in the control, where company B is the blockchain tracing company, I would thus expect with higher levels of knowlegde the preference for retailer A decreases. Can somebody explain to me why it is still correct to use ANCOVA, am I missing something?

I have read the following chapter to understand covariates: https://www.middleprofessor.com/files/applied-biostatistics_bookdown/_book/adding-covariates-to-a-linear-model.html#adding-covariates-can-increases-the-precision-of-the-effect-of-interest

Thank you in advance!!

I consider that this figure can shed light on why there are many unprofessionally managed and failed e-commerce stores today. Especially over time, as barriers to entry have been lowered by content management systems like Shopify.

When should household panel data be weighted to increase the representativeness of the data? Does this depend on the number of reporting households?

(1) Do covid changes consumers attitudes and purchase behaviour?

(2) Or will consumer attitudes and purchase behaviour be the same again after the pandemic?

(3) Does covid affect the attitude-begaviour gap (e.g. for organic products)?

(4) Is there already literature on these questions?

There are many publications about the proliferation of private labels over the last years (for example, measured by market shares). But is this proliferation going on and on? Or has a new balance emerged? And if so, how can retailers and industry influence this competition? Or does the proliferation take place 'covertly'? For example, via high-quality or sustainable private labels.

The data is needed for a research the cafe industry pre and post covid in India

Do you see the pandemic accelerating technology orientation within industries such as retailing? For instance in retailing do you see online shopping being the primary channel of shopping and the physical store being the second choice due to this pandemic or will that happen because online shopping is truly giving a better experience than physical shopping? Please have your say.

The on-line share of all grocery retail in the UK had been bumping along at around 6% for the last four years, then almost doubled, to just under 12%, at the start of lockdown, and has since fallen back to around 10%. During a recent lecture to MSc students the course participants were divided on the future potential of on-line grocery retail and whether the growth seen during the pandemic is sustainable. Some students thought that, having tried on-line shopping for the first-time during lockdown, they would probably continue using it for bulky and long shelf-life items, but also use local stores for fresh produce (probably the worst possible outcome for the grocery retailers as they would be left with delivering the high logistics cost and low margin products). Other students thought that they would go back to in-store shopping and that the current 10% market share would probably fall back to around 7 or 8%. Most of the analysis I have seen shows that UK grocery retail home delivery charges (anything from £1 to £7 dependent on day, time slot etc) do not begin to cover the costs. This suggests that at some point the grocery retailers will have to start passing on the real costs and/or collaborate to improve efficiencies (shared hubs and last mile delivery fleets?). Interested in any views / research on the topic.

Can you please provide a list of different product categories available at a Grocery retail store (traditional or modern retail)?

Power and gas retailers, are exposed to a variety of risks when selling to domestic customers. Many of these risks arise from the fact that customers are offered a fixed price, while the retailer must purchase the gas and power to supply their customers from the wholesale markets. The risk associated with offering fixed price contracts is exacerbated by correlations between demand and market prices. For example, during a cold spell gas demand increases and wholesale prices tend to rise, whilst during milder weather demand falls and wholesale prices reduce.

I have purchase data from supermarkets that include a variable for weighting. This weighting is supposed to represent how representative a household is.

I want to separate my data into two very unequal groups and aggregate the values into months. Can or should I use the weighting here?

Does anyone have experience and maybe recommendations on conferences on retail, private labels and national brands? Maybe also looking at future development and online topics?

Which method can be used to analyze daily panel data in combination with annual survey data (on income, attitudes towards organic products and so on)? The method should also be able to measure changes over time (e.g., in attitudes toward organic products and actual purchases of organic products).

Possible research question: How do consumer attitudes (annual measrured by asking the consumers once a year) and actual purchasing behavior (daily measured) change over a long period of time?

Due to digitalization and globalization there is an increase in online retailing.

But what does that mean for brick and mortar stores? Will there still be offline stores in about ten years? For instance, to purchase our daily groceries?

Researchers agree that offline stores should focus on shopping experience in order to crease an added value in comparison to online settings. Is that key to survive? However, will only big players be able to survive in long term by starting their own online stores? Is an overarching and neutral platform-based solution for future retail maybe a further direction, especcially for small retailers?

I am focusing a research about the role of luxury as whole, -not only of luxury brands or operators- in recent urban trasformations. Did someone face off the same problem? What about processes of city branding and urban marketing? and the effect on the city/territory? 

The Supply chain council's SCOR model is a very famous and widely used model in many scientific publications for assessing supply chain performance. The model is as simple as it is effective and consists of five main processes: source, plan, make, deliver and return.

This model is certainly very intuitive and effective when analysing a manufacturing industry supply chain, but it starts to falter when considering other sectors.

In particular, if you want to use this model to analyse a retailer's supply chain, how can you translate the "make" process? Although the SCOR model is also used in many articles to study retailer supply chains, I have not been able to find any references that help me understand how to translate the "make" process in contexts other than manufacturing. Has anyone had similar experiences in the past?

Sir,

This is a general question encountered during research work. You all are requested to provide your views/comments.

What are the customers' major security concerns in technology adoption talking about omnichannel retailing as a mode of business activities and how far has the omnichannel succeeded to penetrate in developing countries' markets?

We want to place a large order, but we are not sure how reliable they are. Our local suppliers costs us a lot more, since they also source it from similar foreign merchants, and we wanted to cut down the expense. 

We want the product shipped to India, and would like to have some assurance before placing the order. Has anyone had any experience with them in terms of international shipping? Any suggestions or information in the regard will be appreciated. Also, if anyone has used their own products, please let us know of your experience.

I am doing dissertation on product bundling strategy for UK grocery retail dataset.  Can anyone provide the link to download dataset where I can check demographic details and items purchased with quantity information is available.

I am currently busy with my PhD on omnichannel supply chain integration. I am struggling with the correct “terminology” in terms of omnichannel. It seems that most authors simply use “channel” or “online/offline channel”. However, since I am investigating omnichannel from a supply chain perspective, my supervisors feel that “channel” is too broad. For example, depending on the part of the omnichannel process I am discussing – the website could serve as both a communication OR distribution channel. My supervisors feel that it would dilute the managerial recommendations at the end of the study since channel is ambiguous. The suggestion at this stage is to use the word “omnichannels” instead of channels (as it is more inclusive than merely using channel).

For example:

My question(s) for other authors writing within the field of omnichannel retailing:

1) Do you think the ambiguous use of “channel” dilutes the understanding of omnichannel retailing?

2) How do you explicitly differentiate between the different uses of “channel” (as touchpoints and fulfilment channels) to clear up the ambiguity WITHOUT creating reader fatigue?

Attach is a table with a summary of the terms used across omnichannel. I attempted to answer my own question with this table – but ended up creating more questions than answers.

I thank you in advance for your time and input in this regard.

Hi all

I'm new to marketing and consumer behaviour research. I would be grateful if you could share some classic theories in this field or any framework or theories you found useful.

In the past, I have used the Theory of Planned Behaviour (incl the theory of reasoned action), the Technology acceptance model, and the Unified theory of acceptance and use of technology.

It would be great to expand my (as well as those new to this field) knowledge to look at other models that marketing researchers have been using.

Your contribution is much appreciated!

Is there any study or research differentiating the consumer behaviour of low-income customers and middle-income customers, especially in the emerging markets?

It will be great if I get some industry insights (case study or examples) on the learnings, challenges or past failures of a retailer's strategy due to such a misinterpretation of treating low-income customers same as mid-income customers?

Hi colleague researchers!

I've been preparing research on Digital twin and machine learning adoption at retail/wholesale companies. But it appears that ML is applicable in a limited number of operations, in reality. Such as demand forecasting in category management. In your experience what is the situation in the industry?

Geography of my data source is Central Asia and Former Soviet Union countries.

I am also open for joint research in this field.

Sustainable packaging in today's competitive economy seems a very difficult perspective to achieve due to cost consideration, except applicable possibility in few limited areas at retail distribution, where such mechanism is to be developed and implemented by authorities. A prudent policy is needed to be regulated. But this cannot be applicable in all product lines. The movement of goods on imports and exports scenario is one such example. Nanotechnology seems a promising field, where there is a possibility of a reduction in pollutants, as generally advocated and claimed by the expert.

I need to conduct a research paper in retail management. However, I know a little topic on retail mgt, for example hedonistic motivation. Thus, please tell me about the latest trend in retail research.

To administer questionnaires

here I wanted to study each dimension of marketing efforts that online retailers use to reduce customers perceived risk categories as follows;

Financial marketing efforts like COD, payment options, least price guarantee, sales, discounts, buy one get two, etc

product/physical marketing effort like try and buy offer, no question return policy, quality assurance policy,etc

time/delivery marketing effort like fast delivery, order tracking, choice of delivery time,etc

here am I right to use term "marketing efforts" for those statements?

or can I get any measuring scale which can incorporate all prevailing offers that online retailers provide to their customers?

or how my study be designed to study those all offers and schemes by online retailers from how much they value to customers?

I am looking for scale to measure customer confidence in retailers. It will of great help.

We all know that ORPOS is a niche domain and I want to be a expert of it. Please a technical answer is required so that I can get a knowledge of the whole thing.

Polythene banned by the Indian government at district level in the shops of small retailers is a good initiative, but is it possible to overcome plastic pollution by this until unless large manufacturers will continue to manufacturing of polythene and poly bags? Should this type of manufacturing unit also be banned? If the origin will be banned , local public will never be able to use such kind of plastic bags which are hazardous for environment. Justify please.

I am currently working on my master thesis and have faced some problems in designing a survey. The goal is to analyze a transition from ordinary offline retailing towards physical showrooms effectuating fulfillment of products through an online shop.

I use as dependent variable customer satisfaction (reaching from 1-10) and as independent variables the following ones:

F= fulfillment (1/0) 1=now 0=in 3 days

A=assortment (from 10 to 20 units per shop)

P=price (from 25 to 25*0,7discount->17,5)

Is it possible to design a survey/ experiment in a way to get the needed data for this equation?

Retail businesses are usually small with small budgets, is it possible for them to engage ERM in any meaningful way.

Hi,

For a research I am trying to compare google trends search volume series for two online retailers . However, as you migth know, Google Trends returns you a normalized search index value for a spesific time period and does not reflect real search volumes. So in my thinking, while estimating statistical models, this issue creates an important problem. Do you also think if a model includes more than one google trends variable, they should be weigthed? After that issue wiegthing could also be a problem too.

Dear colleagues, I am searching for recent papers in the field of workplace studies/studies of work that cover the topics sustainability, packaging, retailing, food, plastic, technological innovations.

We would appreciate someone installing our authentication system, and giving us feedback on various aspects like ease of installation, user experience, bugs (hopefully, none...).

We will give you a free licence for an unlimited number of users and unlimited number of installations. Ideally, we'd like to test with about a hundred users, but any number will do in practice.

You'll need to have a Linux or Sun (SPARC) Solaris system for the main server, but user connections can be from any device, running any O/S - including smartphones, tablets, etc.

You'll also need an Oracle database. You can download Oracle 11g from their website, for free.

Installation takes about an hour, plus the time to migrate any existing users - for which we can supply a free tool.

Thanks in advance.

While doing research on the value chain and competitive advantage in Islamic banks, I found no study on this aspect. Maybe because there is no difference between Islamic banking and conventional banking in terms of value chain? shouldn't we start with that?

I conducted a study on WTP towards Bio and Fair Trade labeled products in different retailer formats, based on Surveys, 4 surveys were distributed all random sampling, 2 independent Variables with 2 levels (Products = labeled not labeled / Retailer Format = Discounter and Supermarket), and one dependent Variable (WTP towards the products). Each survey had a combination of the variables, Labeled + supermarket, not labeled + supermarket, labeled + discounter, and not labeled + discounter. All of the surveys were random sampling, which means no person answered more than one survey.

Which analysis of variance should I use, in Excel or SPSS.

Hi!

My name is Catarina and I'm looking for some help in Innovation Marketing- Product Innovation.

I'm going to join a project which aims to analyse the consequences of implementation of an improved product in a certain store -emphasis on the fact that this is about incremental innovation, which means improving an already existing product and not developing a new one.

What I need to know is:

All of these in a perspective of statistical analysis.

Also, if there is any documentation on this subject that could be helpful please let me know.

Thank you :

I would really appreciate some guidance on proven ways to qualitatively measure competitive advantage. I have seen previous posts on RG with a similar question, but most of the answers relate to quantitative measures. My current research project is based on determining how retailers can gain a competitive advantage by integrating the organisation internally. Note: the sample of the specific group of retailers within the country the study is based is small – hence my statistician has warned against going the quantitative route.

I have done qualitative studies previously, however, I am finding it difficult to find published qualitative studies measuring CA.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
