  • Aldi, Edeka & Co. – Consumer Preferences and Store Image
    Aldi, Edeka & Co. – Consumer preferences and store image Aldi, Edeka & Co. – Konsumentenpräferenzen und Einkaufsstättenwahl Alexander STAUS1 Summary Store choice decisions in the food retailing industry have been widely discussed in the literature. The importance of pricing, quality and assortment is known, and the influence of socio-demographic variables is small. In this paper, a mixed nested logit model is used to study the relationship between specific attitudes of households and their store choice for fruits and vegetables in Germany. Household attitudes are about environment, freshness, organic food, prices and quality. An implied image ranking of stores regarding these attitudes can be established. The weekly farmers’ market has throughout a very high implied image, while the discounters Penny, Plus and Aldi enjoy good to average images. The supermarkets Edeka and Rewe get comparable bad results. Keywords: store choice, mixed nested logit, image, fruits and vegetables Zusammenfassung Über die Einkaufsstättenwahl im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel wurde bereits ausgedehnt diskutiert. Preise, Qualität und Sortiment spielen dabei eine wichtige Rolle, während soziodemographische Variablen eher unbedeutend für die Einkaufsstättenwahl sind. Ein „Mixed Nested Logit Modell“ untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen der Einkaufsstättenwahl und bestimmten Einstellungsmerkmalen (Bio, Frische, Umwelt, Preis und Qualität) von Konsumenten für Obst und Gemüse in Deutschland. Ein implizites Image-Ranking bezüglich der betrachteten Variablen kann erstellt werden.

The companies fined were A. Kempf Getränkegroßhandel GmbH, Offenburg (Kempf), EDEKA Handelsgesellschaft Hessenring mbH, Melsungen (EHR), EDEKA Handelsgesellschaft Minden-Hannover mbH, Minden (EMH), EDEKA Handelsgesellschaft Nord mbH, Neumünster (ENO), EDEKA Handelsgesellschaft Rhein-Ruhr mbH, Moers (ERR), EDEKA Handelsgesellschaft Südbayern mbH, Gaimersheim, (ESBY), EDEKA Handelsgesellschaft Südwest mbH, Offenburg (ESW), EDEKA Nordbayern-Sachsen-Thüringen GmbH, Rottendorf (ENBY) – all of the above Edeka companies and Kempf hereinafter jointly referred to as ‘Edeka’ Kaufland Warenhandel GmbH & Co.

  • Retail Supermarket Globalization: Who’S Winning?
    RETAIL SUPERMARKET GLOBALIZATION: WHO’S WINNING? October 2001 CORIOLISRESEARCH Coriolis Research Ltd. is a strategic market research firm founded in 1997 and based in Auckland, New Zealand. Coriolis primarily works with clients in the food and fast moving consumer goods supply chain, from primary producers to retailers. In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. Recent reports have included an analysis of the impact of the arrival of the German supermarket chain Aldi in Australia, answering the question: “Will selling groceries over the internet ever work?,” and this analysis of retail supermarket globalization. ! The lead researcher on this report was Tim Morris, one of the founding partners of Coriolis Research. Tim graduated from Cornell University in New York with a degree in Agricultural Economics, with a specialisation in Food Industry Management. Tim has worked for a number of international retailers and manufacturers, including Nestlé, Dreyer’s Ice Cream, Kraft/General Foods, Safeway and Woolworths New Zealand. Before helping to found Coriolis Research, Tim was a consultant for Swander Pace (now part of Kurt Salmon) in San Francisco, where he worked on management consulting and acquisition projects for clients including Danone, Heinz, Bestfoods and ConAgra. ! The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low- pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane.
