This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook explores and critically examines current research in economics and marketing science on key issues in retailing and distribution. Providing a rich perspective for the discussion of public policy, contributions from several disciplines and continents range from the history of chains and the impact of multinational retailers on international trade patterns to US merger policy in the retail context, the rise of the Internet, and consumer-to-consumer sales. The chapters address methodological issues such as the structural estimation of entry games between retailers, productivity measurement when both inputs and output are not fully observable, and demand estimation with variable assortment. Policy issues explored include mergers, zoning, and the regulation of buyer power, while other chapters address some of the recent exciting developments in technology, retail formats, and data availability. The book goes on to study the changes in online retailing and ‘big data’, and to examine competition in specific retail sectors including gasoline stations, automobile dealerships, supermarkets, and ‘big box’ retail. This state-of-the-art Handbook is an essential reference for students and academics of economics and marketing science, and offers an outsider’s perspective to specialists in operations research, data analytics, geography, and sociology.

This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book should become a standard reference in the field. . . It combines rigorous modeling with sophisticated econometrics and includes telling examples to illustrate general principles. Dennis C. Mueller, University of Vienna, Austria This book provides a uniform and coherent approach to the analysis of distribution systems in general and retail systems in particular. It develops the fundamentals of retail demand and supply, and demonstrates how the provision of distribution services is a principal determinant of economic outcomes in retail exchanges for both retailers and their customers, as well as for other agents such as suppliers and franchisors. The author integrates the existing literature with new applications to provide novel insights into the multi-product nature of retailing, the service aspects of packaging, and the evolution of retail formats such as supermarkets, non-store retailers (including the Internet) and shopping centers. He illustrates how the complementarity that underlies retail activities leads to lower average prices for customers. This integrative process also brings out the role of distribution services as mechanisms to exercise economic power. This is evident not only in channels of distribution but in the evolution of Wal-Mart and the development of franchise contracts. The author also identifies the crucial differences between the retailing of goods and the retailing of services. This impressive volume skilfully integrates conceptual, theoretical and empirical research to analyse critical issues in the economics of retailing and distribution. It will be required reading for academics and professional economists interested in industrial organization, marketing, applied microeconomics and business.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Economics of Retailing This book aims to present fact material and to suggest constructive thought on the subject of retail distribution. It does not tell how to get rich quick at retailing. It presents but little theory and advocates no particular or special method of doing the work of the retail store. Its purpose is to describe the retail business as it is, and to point out the broad lines along which retailing progress is being made. In this work the attempt has been made to reduce the knowledge about retailing to teachable form, and to make it usable alike to the ambitious, thinking man already in business and to the student who desires to gain an intimate insight into this interesting as well as important field of human work. Except in fragmentary form, there has been but little written upon which the writer could build. The effort has been made, with what success the reader must judge, to bring together in one volume a summary of the best thought so far expressed; but much of the material presented is the result of the writer's own observation and experience in the retail business, and of what he has gathered in conference with over a thousand retail store managers and salespeople who were students in his classes in retail methods during the years 1909 to 1915. Every part of the work has been tested by presentation to groups of people engaged in the retail business. Every point has been held up to the standard of practicability.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature and relevance of the retail sector cannot be questioned as far as economic growth of a nation is concerned. It is important to acknowledge the fact that the economics of retailing and distribution is still facing a deficiency in the number of references to draw its theoretical basis and explanation to its major drawbacks. The number of challenges facing the retailing industry still lack sufficient remedies because of the little research being conducted by economists in this field. The solutions to the major problems have been left on the hands of marketing professionals who find it difficult to come up with elaborate econometric models to explain the underlying challenges in this sector. Retailing and distribution are directly linked. In the modern market, holding some aspects of perfect market constant, still there are imperfections that must be addressed to give equal opportunity to all stakeholders. The classical economics has failed to give an explanation for the property right hence the need to adopt a mechanism for this. The role of retail and distribution is evident given the number of jobs it has help create globally. Equipping learners with sufficient knowledge of the retail and distribution industry is the epicenter of the literature coverage in this book. The writing of this book is based on the major economic principles. The major economic methodologies and literature has been put into use in the book making them relevant in giving explanations to a vast number of issues in retailing and distribution. The economic role of retail and distribution has not been ignored in the material context as the studies and research done on the field have been employed in the book. An attempt has been made to handle individual topics in the book independently and in an ascending order; from simple to complex, giving the learner a friendly and convenient approaches to the major content in the book. The main purpose of this book is to highlight the existing segments in the retail industry and provide explanations to some of the niches. It aims at providing space for future extensions for integrating the recommendations form scholarly findings relevant in retail and marketing economics.

Converse. Preface: THIS BOOK has a definite objective to combine a treat ment of general marketing methods and principles with a more detailed treatment of retailing, particularly the operation of small and medium-size stores. It is believed that one . can not properly understand retailing without some knowledge mar ket economics and wholesaling. Students will understand ptail store operation better if they first secure a general knowledge of the field of marketing and know the place of retailing in the over all picture.

Introduction: The Meaning and Scope of Marketing JL ISTRIBUTION, or marketing is the most important part of business. Most business concerns can produce many more goods than they can sell at a profit. Give us sales is the common cry of businessmen, and huge sums are spent on ad vertising and salesmanship. Whatever can be sold can be made. The big problem is distribution. Such statements are common and may be accepted as generally true in normal times. This condition has not always existed. Up until compara tively recent times, the big task of the race was to produce enough goods food, clothing, and shelterto satisfy its needs. During the past 150 years the problem has been altered by the use of labor-saving machinery by the discoveries and inventions of chemistry, agriculture, physics, and engineering and by the development of scientific management and accounting. The development of the natural sciences and the arts of physics, entomology, geology, chemistry, management, and en gineering has given us much new knowledge which has enabled us to increase greatly the output of goods and to reduce the costs of production. The result is that usually we are able to produce many more goods than the consumers are able to buy at the prevailing prices. Hence businessmen and farmers have become greatly interested in distribution...

Download or read book Japanese Retail Industry After the Bubble Economy written by Md. Arifur Rahman and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-07 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the major institutional changes in the development of the Japanese retail industry after the bubble economy. The Japanese retail structure has been transformed from an abundance of small retail stores to chain stores by notable institutional changes with continuous variations in the post-1990s. It provides an insight into the impact of retail density on the household economy in the stagnant economy of Japan. The issues highlighted in this book include the background of the advent of 100-yen retail stores and strategic approach of the stores during the stagnant economy, a comparative analysis of Japanese 100-yen shops and dollar stores in United States, employment compliance of 100-yen shops and dollar stores in developing countries, factors that contributed to change the Japanese distribution channels after the 1990s, and determinants of retail density in Japan. The stagnant economy in the post-bubble period, along with changes in the large-scale retail store law, led consumers to shift from the most popular department stores to supermarkets and the cheapest retail alternatives. With its recent data and theories, this research work will be of interest to business and economics students and researchers in Japanese retailing and relevant areas.
