Download or read book Retail Therapy written by Mark Pilkington and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost weekly, the news is full of stories about disappearing retail chains. From House of Fraser and BHS to Toys'R'Us and Sears, recognised names are vanishing overnight – as such large organizations disappear, so the malls, shopping centres, high streets and main streets become emptier and less appealing to visit. The retail sector is hugely important in terms of job numbers: in the US, it employs around 30 million people (directly and indirectly); in the UK, around 10 million. As such, anything that jeopardises the retail sector will have a deep and lasting impact on millions of lives, as well as on public policy. While many blame the 'Amazon effect', this is an oversimplification. Deeper forces are at work that are changing people's relationships with brands, the balance of power between producers and consumers, and the whole nature of the supply chain that has existed since the industrial revolution. Retail Therapy offers a comprehensive analysis of these forces and their impact on the world of retailing. More importantly, it presents a cogent analysis of the longer term trends that are shaping retailing, and outlines a clear road map for sustainable success in the future.

Download or read book The New Rules of Retail written by Robin Lewis and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2014-08-12 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The New Rules of Retail, industry gurus Robin Lewis and Michael Dart explained how unprecedented consumer power, enabled by technology and globalization, is revolutionizing retail. They warned that survival in these dynamic times called for a business model based on three distinct competencies: preemptive, perpetual distribution; a neurological customer connection; and total control of the value chain. In the years since that book published, many of their predictions have come true. Now, they revisit timeless case studies like Ralph Lauren and Sears, as well as new additions like Trader Joe's, Lululemon, and Warby Parker, to assess how retailers must continue to evolve in the era of e-commerce, data mining, and tiered distribution. They also identify the five current trends that are currently driving consumer demand, including technology integration and channel consolidation, as exemplified by Jeff Bezos at Amazon. This is a fully revised and updated guide from two proven retail prognosticators.

Download or read book Stakeholder thinking in marketing written by Michael Jay Polonsky and published by Emerald Group Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stakeholder thinking in marketingStakeholder thinking is becoming a "core" part of marketing as well as other businessrelated disciplines. A search of the business source primmer database found that priorto 1995 there are 58 articles using the term stakeholder in their title and 27 academicmarketing related articles with stakeholder as a key term. The interest in stakeholdertheory has however grown rapidly, between January 2000 and November 2004 therewere 228 articles using stakeholder theory in the title and 140 academic marketingrelated journal articles that examined stakeholder issues. In fact the American Marketing Association's (AMA, 2004) new definition ofmarketing expressly incorporates our responsibility to consider how marketingactivities impact stakeholders:Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways thatbenefit the organization and its stakeholders. Thus the AMA has recognised the core role of stakeholder thinking. While there is an increased interest in stakeholder thinking in marking, anexamination of the literature would seem to suggest that there is no unified view ofhow stakeholder thinking can be or should be integrated into theory or practice. Manyof the stakeholder works, marketing and in other disciplines, still focus on the socialand ethical impacts of stakeholders. This may have been where much off stakeholderthinking initially gained its prominence, but it is a broader strategic tool that canbenefit a range of areas and was in fact the focus of Freeman's (1984) original work inthe area. This is not to suggest that the general strategic implications of stakeholderthinking are not being consider, as an increasingly number of works are looking atstakeholder implications in regards to exchange networks, relationship marketing, andother issues related to strategy development. The papers in this special issue have considered a range of varying perspectivesincluding: corporate social responsibility, the impact of interacting with stakeholders, relationship issues, and broader discussions of stakeholder theory as a strategic tool. These papers have taken a diverse range of perspectives including conceptual works, case studies, qualitative approaches, and various empirical approaches to examiningthe issues of interest within various pieces. The scope of papers included in the special, as well as those not included, identifies the breadth of relevance stakeholder thinkinghas for the application of all aspects of marketing theory and practice. The question of how stakeholders and stakeholder theory can be considered inorganisational activities and marketing theory is an issue that most certainly seems towarrant further consideration. The works in this special issue have advanced thisdebate and identified some directions that could be considered. Stakeholder thinking ishowever not necessarily a paradigm shift in marketing thinking, although some mightbelieve it is, but rather it broadens existing concepts such as relationship marketing, network theory, organisational social responsibility and other areas. Hopefully thepapers presented in this special issue will encourage others to consider the inclusion ofstakeholders into broader areas of marketing. Any special issue editor has to thank a range of people for assistance withdeveloping the special issue. I would like to thank Audrey Gilmore and David Carson, editors of EJM, for allowing the special issue to be developed. Their input through theprocess has been invaluable. I would also like to thank the many authors ofunsuccessful papers for submitting their work. It was of course impossible to includeall papers in the special issue, but the breadth of coverage, in regards to topics andgeographic areas would seem to demonstrate the growing interest in stakeholderthinking within marketing. Lastly, it is imperative that I thank the reviewers, withouttheir assistance the special issue would not have been possible. The following peoplereviewed papers for the special issue:.
