  • Charakterystyka Sklepów Typu Convenience – Polska Na Tle Rynku Amerykańskiego
    Zeszyty Naukowe nr 694 2006 Akademii Ekonomicznej w Krakowie Dominika Kubacka Katedra Handlu i Instytucji Rynkowych Charakterystyka sklepów typu convenience – Polska na tle rynku amerykańskiego 1. Wprowadzenie Handel detaliczny staje się coraz bardziej różnorodny pod względem form han- dlowania. W latach 90., głównie jako efekt inwestycji zagranicznych, pojawiły się w Polsce nowoczesne, nieznane wcześniej rozwiązania handlowe – nowe formaty sklepów, tj. hipermarkety, dyskonty czy też inne obiekty wielkopowierzchniowe zaspokajające określoną grupę potrzeb. Rozwinęły się niestacjonarne techniki sprzedaży – e-commerce, sprzedaż wysyłkowa czy sieciowa. Formy te stosunkowo szybko zostały uwzględnione w opisach rynku detalicznego w Polsce i w statysty- kach handlowych. Od kilku lat coraz więcej mówi się o zachodnim sukcesie i podatnym pol- skim gruncie na rozwój i upowszechnienie się sklepów convenience1. Właściwie dokładnie nie wiadomo, co oznacza pojęcie convenience, do jakiego typu sklepu się ono odnosi oraz ile jest tego typu placówek. W literaturze polskiej format ten jest niezmiernie rzadko wspominany, gdy mowa jest o placówkach handlowych. Sporadycznie spotyka się ujmowanie c-store w statystykach detalu prowadzo- nych przez różne instytucje publiczne czy agencje badawcze. Dodatkowo, sklepy convenience są ujmowane w różnych kategoriach, stąd problem z pomiarem ich liczebności, pozyskiwaniem precyzyjnych danych czy też obserwacją zachodzą- cych w obrębie grupy przemian jakościowych. W zasadzie zawsze trzeba opierać się jedynie na szacunkach. Jest to więc zjawisko zauważalne w praktyce handlo- 1 ����������������������������������������������������������������������W dalszej części artykułu autorka będzie używać zamiennie pojęć sklepu convenience i popu- larnego skrótu c-store. ZN694.indb 147 1/30/08 1:19:41 PM 148 Dominika Kubacka wej, któremu w teorii brak adekwatnego opisu. Również wśród kupujących pojęcie c-store nie jest rozpowszechnione.

  • Jel-Kép 2016/4 2
    KOMMUNIKÁCIÓ, KÖZVÉLEMÉNY, MÉDIA 2016/4. szám ÜZLETI KOMMUNIKÁCIÓ TEMATIKUS SZÁM E l ő s z ó Neulinger Ágnes, a tematikus szám szerkesztője [email protected] Az üzleti kommunikáció témaköre nem idegen a Jel-Kép számára, hiszen már az elődjének számító Rádió és Televízió Szemle is közölt ilyen jellegű írásokat és a kérdéskör az 1980 óta megjelenő lapban a kezdetektől jelen van. Kiváló példa erre, hogy az 1980/1. lapszám két cikke is érintette a televíziónézést a családi fogyasztás kontextusában (igaz, nem ebben a megfogalmazásban), majd az 1980/2. lapszám két tanulmánya kifejezetten a reklám (szerzők Bessenyei István és Heller Mária) és a kereskedelem és kommunikáció (szerző S. Nagy Kata- lin) kérdésével foglalkozott. Ezt követően a kilencvenes években a piaci változásoknak meg- felelően megjelentek a média szabályozással és média fogyasztással kapcsolatos írások, ame- lyeket Gálik Mihály publikált rendszeresen. Amennyiben a közelmúlt üzleti kommunikációs témaköreit nézzük, akkor ezekből az elmúlt egy évben sem volt hiány: 2015-ben az 1., 2. és 4. lapszám, 2016-ban a 2. és 3. lapszám is közölt a kérdéskörhöz tartozó írásokat. Annak érdekében, hogy az üzleti kommunikáció témája formálisan is megjelenjen a Jel-Kép cikkei között, a témakör 2015-ben bekerült a folyóirat állandó rovatai közé. Ebbe a folya- matba illeszkedik ennek a tematikus számnak a megszületése, amelyet most virtuális kezében tart az Olvasó. Ez a mostani lapszám nagyon jól jelzi az üzleti kommunikáció sokszínűségét: magába foglalja a reklámot, ami olyan a „vevő

Widely associated with the fuel stop, it caters to a much broader set of consumer needs, particularly desires for immediate consumption of snacks and beverages and, on a less functional level, for a delightful treat. Long-term demand trends in U.S. food culture are causing tectonic shifts in the industry today and threaten the convenience channel’s very essence.
