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.
Download or read book Retail Internationalization written by Stefan Elsner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-07 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctoral thesis investigates various strategies in the area of going and being international of retail firms which is of undisputable relevance due to the fairly narrow research status and the increasing internationalization of retail activities. Issues are investigated concerning the choice of retail market entry modes, i.e., the form of institutional arrangements that retailers use when entering foreign markets, the retail format transfer, i.e., the management of internal processes and the external marketing program elements and the coordination of retail activities, i.e., the implementation of the marketing program by the organizational structure. Regarding this, three important research questions are addressed:1) How do choose retailers their market entry mode in the area of conflict between full and shared-controlled modes and how is this decision influenced by the internal and external environment? 2) How can international retailers transfer their retail format successfully to foreign countries by standardizing or adapting the internal and external elements of their retail format? 3) How can retailers successfully coordinate the implementation of their retail marketing program to culturally diversified markets? These questions are investigated on the basis of established theories applied from the international management literature such as institutional theory, the resource-based view and the profit maximization theory. On the basis of comprehensive primary and secondary datasets, important implications are drawn for research and practice.
Download or read book International Retailing Plans and Strategies in Asia written by Erdener Kaynak and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn the how, when, and why of entering Asian markets Retailers entering Asia are faced with not only a consumer and retail culture very different from their own, but with a variety of cultures that vary greatly among countries within the continent. International Retailing Plans and Strategies in Asia examines the strategies of Western retailers entering into Asian markets and provides specific case examples showing why some companies have failed in Asia—as well as factors that helped others succeed. Important concepts for international retailers exploring Asian markets are clearly explained, and the material is particularly relevant to current WTO and UNCTAD debates about the globalization of retail markets. Helpful tables, charts, and illustrations make complex information easy to access and understand. International Retailing Plans and Strategies in Asia examines: how foreign investment influences domestic retail systems how strategies for entering European markets can be adapted and applied to various Asian markets the important practice of incorporating local cultural values into trading relationships in Asian markets the investment of Japanese retailers in China and the trend toward internationalization in Asia by Asian retailers the evolution of foreign investment in Korea—with a look at foreign firms’ specific investment strategies issues of local competition and the need for foreign firms to adapt to local consumer cultures, particularly as analyzed in case studies of Metro Cash and Carry, Toys R Us, and Carrefour what understanding foreign markets means in terms of adaptation and success for retailers and wholesalers The material in these pages will help to inform business decisions about how to (and how not to) enter foreign markets and whether or not it is proper for governments to intervene. The chapters in this book, originally presented as papers at a workshop held at Chung-Ang University in Seoul in November 2003, address issues of diversity in international retailing and distribution in Asia. International Retailing Plans and Strategies in Asia is designed to be essential reading for international marketing students, retail researchers, business managers, and policymakers, and to be a useful addition to university business school library collections.

Download or read book The Replication of Retail Fashion Formats into Foreign Countries written by Christoph Schröder and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-10-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christoph Schröder does one of the first attempts to analyze format transfers within the scope of different strategies, format elements, countries and success with focus on the fashion industry. Three distinct format transfer strategies are identified. The empirically observed design of format elements supports and extends the existing research. Fashion firms standardize their “Retail culture”, which acts as a foundation for a successful format transfer strategy (core elements). New insights are provided with regard to format transfer into foreign countries as well as over a timeframe of five years. International retailers face specific challenges with regard to the decision on their retail format abroad, which is known as an important success driver. They may transfer their format elements unchanged or may adapt those elements. One successful strategy is known to be an unchanged format replication, which is linked to the fashion industry.

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 267 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 excerpt: Abstract: International expansions offer retailers not only opportunities but also new challenges in complex and different international markets. Since the 1990s, retailers have moved to the international markets (Alexander, 1997; Goldman, 2001; Moore and Fernie, 2004) due to rapid globalization, the reduction of international trade barriers, technological improvement in worldwide transportation infrastructure and communication, and the accretion of wealth in developing countries (Moon and Park, 2011). However, few international retailers performed well in foreign markets (Burt, Dawson, and Sparks 2004). Swoboda et al (2005) contended that achieving good performance in the international markets is not easy. Thus, in order to understand the internationalization process of international retailers, the investigation of factors influencing their performance is needed for both retail researchers and international retailers. The objectives of this research are to examine the nonlinear relationship between market distance, via cultural distance and geographical distance, and performance, via return on sales and sales growth rate. In addition, this research investigates how international experience, via international age and the number of foreign countries in which a retailer operates, influences performance and further how international experience and retail format (generalists and specialists) moderate the relationship between market distance and performance respectively, relying on the internationalization process theory and resource based theory. The secondary data of 250 largest retailers from around the world published in the 2011 Deloitte "Global Retail Power" report were analyzed with hierarchical multiple regressions. The findings from part one of the study revealed that there were no significant nonlinear relationships between 1) cultural distance and return on sales, 2) geographical distance and return on sales, 3) cultural distance and sales growth rate, and 4) geographical distance and sales growth rate. However, cultural distance has a statistically significant negative relationship with sales growth rate. The findings from part two showed that international age influenced neither return on sales nor sales growth rate. However, the number of foreign countries which a retailer entered has a significant positive relationship with sales growth rate but not with return on sales. In addition, both international age and the number of foreign countries did not moderate the relationship between 1) cultural distance and return on sales, 2) geographical distance and return on sales, 3) cultural distance and sales growth rate, and 4) geographical distance and sales growth rate. Lastly, the moderating effects of retail format on the relationships between 1) cultural distance and return on sales, 2) geographical distance and return on sales, 3) cultural distance and sales growth rate, and 4) geographical distance and sales growth rate were insignificant. The findings of this study add to the extant literature by including not only international experience but also retail format in explaining the relationship between market distance and performance in the international retail markets. By investigating international experience and retail format as competitive resources of international retailers, this research will be able to provide information to retail researchers and international retailers regarding foreign market selection strategy.
