  • Supply Chain Effects in Creation of Omnichannel Customer Experience in Grocery Retail
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Aaltodoc Publication Archive Supply Chain Effects in Creation of Omnichannel Customer Experience in Grocery Retail MSc program in Information and Service Management Master's thesis Anna Savisaari 2016 Department of Information and Service Economy Aalto University School of Business Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) Author Anna Savisaari Title of thesis Supply Chain Effects in Creation of Omnichannel Customer Experience in Grocery Retail Degree Master of Science in Economics and Business Administration Degree programme Information and Service Management Thesis advisor(s) Markku Tinnilä Year of approval 2016 Number of pages 78 Language English Abstract Online sales have changed the retail industry during the past decade, and the technological developments shape the business blending the digital and physical worlds together. Customers use different channels interchangeably during their buying process. The objective of the study is to identify and analyze the factors affecting this omnichannel customer experience in grocery retail, focusing in the supply chain effects. The empirical part searches for answers from the Finnish grocery industry. The literature review develops an understanding on three domains in this research: omnichannel, grocery industry’s distinct features, and supply chain characteristics in omnichannel grocery retail. The academia introduced omnichannel as a term about five years ago. Omnichannel retail means the different sales channels work seamlessly for the customer, and inside the company as well. Omnichannel and supply chain aspects in grocery retail are scarcely researched, since the earlier literature has had a stronger focus on customer motivations. Grocery retail is distinctive field in omnichannel retail due to perishability, low-margin and low-involvement products, frequency and volume of shopping and significance of the downstream supply chain operations.

  • Notice of De-Designation of Ocado Group Plc from the Groceries (Supply Chain Practices) Market Investigation Order 2009
    21 January 2020 Notice of De-designation of Ocado Group plc from the Groceries (Supply Chain Practices) Market Investigation Order 2009 Introduction and background 1. The Competition Commission (CC) published its final report on the Market Investigation into the supply of groceries in the UK on 30 April 2008.1 The CC found adverse effects on competition arising in several areas including the potential exercise of buyer power in relation to suppliers of grocery retailers, and concerns regarding the use of restrictive covenants in concentrated local markets. To address the first of these concerns, the CC implemented the Groceries (Supply Chain Practices) Market Investigation Order 2009 (the Order). The Order listed, at Schedule 2, the initial ten groceries retailers to whom the Order applied. Subsequently, in November 2018, two further retailers were designated, including Ocado Group plc.2 2. Pursuant to a corporate restructuring, in particular the creation of a joint venture with M&S Holdings Ltd, Ocado Group plc no longer carries out the retail supply of Groceries in the UK such that it no longer meets the £1bn turnover threshold for designation under the Order and nor does it have sole control over the Ocado entity which does meet the threshold. The retail activities are now carried out by Ocado Retail Ltd and on 16 October 2019, the CMA designated Ocado Retail Ltd under the Order. 3. Following that designation, a review under s162 of the Enterprise Act 2002 was launched to determine whether Ocado Group plc should cease to be a designated retailer under the Order. 4.

    THE SHAPE OF FOOD RETAILING IN THE NEW NORMAL 5: UNDERSTANDING ROADSIDE CONSUMERS RETAIL NEW TECHNOLOGY "The industry as a whole must shift from planning to providing an adequate response to the key strategic question that will determine its future. “Why will the consumer of 2030 visit my roadside outlet?” FOODSERVICE The authors "Roadside retail will need to attract visits by more than just the visual dimension (the eyeball test) it relied on for decades. It will no longer be enough to have a large COFFEE fuel price sign, compelling price, a (hopefully) clean and easy to access lot, to influence customer behavior to shop the site. Within this decade, that long-standing consumer purchasing behavior will endure seismic shifts, becoming more influenced by technology platforms able to make deeper connections.

  • Rothschild & Co Risk-Based UK Index
    Rothschild & Co Risk-Based UK Index Monthly Report As of 8/31/2021 The R&CO Risk-Based UK Index provides an alternative to market-cap weighting with a risk-based approach to index construction. The strategy seeks to equalize risk contribution of index constituents and to maximize risk diversification while avoiding excessive turnover and portfolio concentration. The approach seeks to provide lower volatility, reduced maximum drawdown and higher Sharpe ratio compared with market capitalization indices over the long-term.
