Download or read book The Shopping Revolution written by Barbara E. Kahn and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amazon disrupts everything it touches and upends any market it enters. In the era of its game-changing dominance, how can any company compete? We are just witnessing the start of the radical changes in retail that will revolutionize shopping in every way. As Amazon and other disruptors continue to offer ever-greater value, customers' expectations will continue to ratchet up, making winning (and keeping) those customers all the more challenging. For some retailers, the changes will push customers permanently out of their reach--and their companies out of business. In The Shopping Revolution, Barbara E. Kahn, a foremost retail expert and professor at The Wharton School, examines the companies that have been most successful during this wave of change, and offers fresh insights into what we can learn from their ascendance. How did Amazon become the retailer of choice for a large portion of the US population, and how can other companies work with them or compete with them? How did Walmart beat out other grocers in the late 1990s to become the leader in food retailing, and how must they pivot to hold their leadership position today? How did Warby Parker make a dent in the once-untouchable Luxottica's lucrative eyewear business, and what can that tell start-ups about how to unseat a Goliath? How did Sephora draw customers away from once-dominant department stores to become the go-to retailers for beauty products, and what can retailers learn from their success? How are luxury and fast-fashion retailers competing in the ever-changing, fickle world of fashion? Building on these insights, Kahn offers a framework that any company can use to create a competitive strategy to survive and thrive in today's--and tomorrow's--retail environment. The Shopping Revolution is a must-read for those in the retailing business who want to develop an effective strategy, entrepreneurs looking at starting their own business, and anyone interested in understanding the changing landscape in which they are shopping. Barbara E. Kahn is Patty and Jay H. Baker Professor of Marketing at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. She served two terms as the Director of the Jay H. Baker Retailing Center. Prior to rejoining Wharton in 2011, Barbara served as the Dean and Schein Professor of Marketing at the School of Business Administration, University of Miami (from 2007 to 2011). Before becoming Dean at UM, she spent 17 years at Wharton as Silberberg Professor of Marketing. She was also Vice Dean of the Wharton Undergraduate program. She is the author of Global Brand Power: Leveraging Branding for Long-Term Growth and co-author of The Grocery Revolution: The New Focus on the Consumer, which documented the changes in the grocery business in the mid-1990s when Walmart became a force in the industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The retail sector is in the midst of a chrysalis period (major transformation) that is forcing most retailers to recalibrate their intentions with how they execute their business strategies. Many retailers are struggling with adapting to the NEW RETAIL ETHOS which is flummoxing a large segment of retail executives with how to correspond with fluctuating consumer demands in the digital age. Fortunately, this is creating a cacophony of opportunity for retail leaders to establish heuristic methods that will create an axiomatic bridge between legacy retailing of the past to the highly innovative, enthralling, and multisensory digital world of tomorrow, thus, creating an engaging retail utopian future.WITHIN THIS MANUAL YOU WILL LEARN* Four Techniques to Drastically Increase Net Income* The No-Limit Concept to Increase Revenue and Skyrocket Your Gross Margin Levels* Six Methods for Abolishing Revenue Deterrents and Increase Customer Brand Loyalty* How to Increase Top-Line Revenue and Maximize Per Square Foot Revenue* How to Attract and Retain Top-Notch Talent Throughout Your Organization* How to Create an Inclusive Environment for Your Employees & Customers* Feng-Shui Techniques to Foster an Environment of Auspicious Energy* How to Promote the Right Leaders and Reward Your EmployeesThese retail concepts are a series of compounding ideas that create an overall advantageous synergistic effect.

Download or read book Retail Recovery written by Mark Pilkington and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-19 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Business Book Awards 2022 The world's retail sector has been devastated in recent years by two unstoppable forces: internet shopping and the Covid-19 lockdown. The result: huge numbers of prestigious brands have gone under, or are now a shadow of their former selves, and large parts of the world economy have fallen into a recession, with reduced employment and incomes across large parts of society. High streets and shopping malls lie half-empty, causing a vacuum at the heart of our communities and societies, and many discretionary products have simply become too expensive for people to buy on a regular basis. There is now an urgent need to regenerate our local shopping areas, so how can retailers and brands respond to this crisis? Fortunately, new shoots of recovery are emerging from the wreckage of the old order – new brands, new ways of providing value, and new and innovative methods of creating interest to draw in consumers, all of which have the potential to kick-start the retail economy. Retail Recovery offers a comprehensive analysis of these new forces that are changing the way in which we browse for and buy products, and how we experience and engage with the brands themselves. It includes in-depth interviews with some of the most innovative players in the UK, Europe and North America, in the hope of drawing out key learning points for the rest of the industry. It also provides essential guidelines for governments, as they strive to rebuild and reinforce the retail spaces within our communities, allowing them to create a more effective economic lifeline for retailers, shoppers, retail workers, manufacturers and distributors.
