Book excerpt: Abstract: The primary goal of this research is to examine how consumers respond when their freedom to choose is constrained due to product unavailability. Reactance theory would suggest that restricting individuals' freedom of choice is likely to have an adverse effect, including lowered choice consistency caused by negative affect. The degree to which consumers will react adversely to product unavailability is likely to depend on how much freedom they expect prior to choice, and whether a choice constraint is perceived to be important to them. Managing consumers' expectations and perceptions in this regard represents an important challenge facing retailers. When should consumers be notified of a choice constraint, and what actions can be taken to minimize any detrimental effects on consumer choice and satisfaction? Two studies examine the role of psychological reactance in explaining consumer reaction to product unavailability. The first study establishes the importance of the timing of notification regarding product unavailability. Preference for the unavailable product is shown to moderate the relationship between the timing of notification and choice of the most similar alternative. The second study further explores the role of psychological reactance by examining the process by which consumers restore their freedom and reduce negative affect associated with product unavailability through the selection of another product. The theoretical contribution of this dissertation is to show how the timing of notification influences consumer choice and satisfaction. Past research argued that the presence of an unavailable alternative would increase the choice share of its most similar alternative due to consumers' cognitive biases, including loss aversion and similarity substitution. However, such cognitive accounts fail to fully explain why choice reverses when consumers are notified about product unavailability after they have made a choice. In addition, the existing accounts cannot rationalize why consumer preference impacts consumer reaction to product unavailability. Building on reactance theory, we offer a new motivational account that explains the role of both the timing of information and individual preference.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Retailing written by Katrijn Gielens and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2018-08-31 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The advent of e-commerce and the rise of hard discounters have put severe pressure on traditional retail chains. Boundaries are blurring: traditional brick & mortar players are expanding their online operations and/or setting up their own discount banners, while the power houses of online retail are going physical, and hard discounters get caught up in the Wheel of Retailing. Even successful companies cannot sit back and rest, but need to prepare for the next wave of change. In the face of this complexity, it is all the more important to take stock of current knowledge, based on insights and experience from leading scholars in the field. What do we know from extant studies, and what are the ensuing best practices? What evolutions are ahead, and will current recipes still work in the future? This Handbook sheds light on these issues.
Download or read book Retail Supply Chain Management written by Narendra Agrawal and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition focuses on three crucial areas of retail supply chain management: (1) empirical studies of retail supply chain practices, (2) assortment and inventory planning and (3) integrating price optimization into retail supply chain decisions. The book has been fully updated, expanding on the distinguishing features of the original, while offering three new chapters on recent topics which reflect areas of great interest and relevance to the academic and professional communities alike - inventory management in the presence of data inaccuracies, retail workforce management, and fast fashion retail strategies. The innovations, lessons for practice, and new technological solutions for managing retail supply chains are important not just in retailing, but offer crucial insights and strategies for the ultimate effective management of supply chains in other industries as well. The retail industry has emerged as a fascinating choice for researchers in the field of supply chain management. It presents a vast array of stimulating challenges that have long provided the context of much of the research in the area of operations research and inventory management. However, in recent years, advances in computing capabilities and information technologies, hyper-competition in the retail industry, emergence of multiple retail formats and distribution channels, an ever increasing trend towards a globally dispersed retail network, and a better understanding of the importance of collaboration in the extended supply chain have led to a surge in academic research on topics in retail supply chain management. Many supply chain innovations (e.g., vendor managed inventory) were first conceived and successfully validated in this industry, and have since been adopted in others. Conversely, many retailers have been quick to adopt cutting edge practices that first originated in other industries. Retail Supply Chain Management: Quantitative Models and Empirical Studies, 2nd Ed. is an attempt to summarize the state of the art in this research, as well as offer a perspective on what new applications may lie ahead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook focus on management research by practitioners. The book would not have been possible without the German cohort 6, who set the forum for lively discussions and supported all researchers on their journey to its doctorate. The book is set up in three chapters. Chapter I"One of the main triggers for this thesis was my direct experience of the financial crisis, as it showed that many principles and assumptions that were believed to be "carved in stone" were challenged overnight. Investors lost confidence as Corporate Governance turned out to be very poor in reality, although companies consistently declared in their disclosures that they followed good Corporate governance guidelines". This section develops a Corporate governance reporting taxonomy, which can be used for electronic reporting and is the basis for the digitalisation in accounting. A mixed-method approach s applied which combines qualitative and quantitative research methods. Chapter II deals with an analysis of marketing process governance in multinational enterprises and is based on an empirical analysis of FT500 index corporations. The literature showed, that there is currently little substantial understanding of how activities and processes in marketing can be sourced and geographically relocated. However, there is substantial evidence in scholarly and managerial literature that marketing process reallocation is a subject of increasing attention for the last five years. Chapter III focus on out of stock situations (OOS) in retail stores. One of the major advantages of store-based retail formats is the availability of products. The unavailability of products is a major threat for store-based retail formats as OOS situations are considered to be some of the most displeasing occurrences for consumers, resulting in dissatisfaction. As avoiding or recovering from OOS situations are matters of allocating limited resources (e.g. staff, money) wherever they are most effective, this work recommends actions that retailers can take to manage OOS occurrences at store-based retail formats to increase consumer satisfaction. All three researcher describe in their reflexive diaries how thy managed to be sucessfull on their long jounrney to the finalisation of their thesis. We all three would also like to thank our supervisors and all of our contributors. Let the words speak for themselves.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume presents state-of-the-art research that can leverage large-scale sensory data collected in grocery/retail stores where a single customer visit may generate nearly 10,000 data points. For decades, retail shelf space optimization has been confined to the analysis of product allocation decisions over a limited number of shelves, often taken in isolation. Such models incorporated interesting concepts relating to space and cross-space elasticity in the design of planograms. Although useful, these models have not addressed the bigger picture of planning store shelf space in a more holistic manner. It is important to note that the space planning analytics in the book are particularly important in an era where e-commerce is on the rise and brick-and-mortar retailing is declining and experiencing severe crises (the retail apocalypse).This is the first research-oriented book that examines novel problems in store space analytics, triggered by modern-day sensory technologies, customer trackers, and transactional tools (point-of-sales, etc.). In fact, such transformative technologies have prompted the development of new and exciting business practices, accompanied by the need for powerful data-driven models and analyses in retail shelf space and layout planning. The book will facilitate developing algorithms and decision tools that allow a better leverage of the data collected from these mediums.

This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As developing nations increase their consumption rate, their relevance in the global marketplace grows. Existing assumptions and postulations about consumer consumption in various societies are being displaced largely due to the dynamic nature of the market. However, research has not been adequately devoted to explore the developments in consumer behavior in developing nations, which has resulted in numerous unanswered questions. Exploring the Dynamics of Consumerism in Developing Nations provides vital research on consumer behavior in developing countries and changes in the socio-cultural dimensions of marketing. While highlighting topics such as celebrity influence, marketing malpractices, and the adoption of e-government, this publication is ideally designed for researchers, advanced-level students, policymakers, and managers.

Download or read book Dynamics of Consumers Dissatisfaction Due to Stock Outs written by Shelby Koos and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper, we quantify the effects that product stock-outs led consumer dissatisfactions have on consumer behavior. The study yields a practical solution that retailers could use to determine how a representative consumer is likely to respond to a stock-out situation and hence be proactive in relationship management. We also determine backorder costs that captures both the short term and long term effects of stock-outs and helps retailers in assortment planning. We use the concept of dissatisfaction and the theory of dissatisfaction dynamics to link past temporal patterns in stock-outs to the current dissatisfaction levels and its effects of consumer choice (substitution, postponement, and abandonment). The richness in consumer behavior and the variability in the dissatisfaction levels allow us to: (a) Confirm the existence of a nonlinear relationship between dissatisfaction and consumer behavior and even characterize it as an asymmetric S-shape; and (b) Develop realistic estimates of the backorder costs as a weighted sum of the probabilities of various consumer actions times the costs associated with each action.
