Cette simultanéité a permis des échanges de vues fructueux entre les deux auteurs. Les domaines d'analyse des deux études sont toutefois relativement éloignés : la présente étude dresse un panorama général du fonctionnement de la grande distribution, analyse les stratégies et performances des groupes dans leur globalité et contient une évaluation originale des déterminants des résultats des magasins; l'étude de L. Vignau s'intéresse exclusivement aux stratégies d intégration amont des groupes de la grande distribution dans 1 industrie agro-alimentaire. Elle a à cet égard fournit à la présente étude de précieux éléments d'information sur l'état de la diversification dans les IAA des groupes de la grande distribution. 1 Lylian Vignau, "Intégration verticale et grande distribution dans la filière alimentaire", Collection des Rapports, n° 89, novembre 1990, Crédoc.

  • The Endgame in European Grocery
    THE ENDGAME IN EUROPEAN GROCERY EXPECT HALF AS MANY LARGE GROCERS IN EUROPE BY 2025 THE ENDGAME IN EUROPEAN GROCERY EXPECT HALF AS MANY LARGE GROCERS IN EUROPE BY 2025 Against a weak economic backdrop, old growth models based on store expansion, national consolidation, and diversification are no longer delivering the like-for-likes board members and investors want to see. As well as a saturated marketplace, there is increasing competition from discounters and newer online retailers like AmazonFresh. In response, we believe that the European grocery market will begin consolidating internationally so that, by 2025, the total number of large grocers in Europe will have halved. Weak demand, a decline of traditional growth engines, and the aggressive growth of specialist competitors such as discounters (Exhibit 1) will continue to drive the next ten years’ of change in European grocery. As the pressure mounts, expect to see more headlines about price wars, stock value erosion, races to form buying alliances, and even the occasional market exit. With this in mind, we think there are four questions grocers should be considering today to ensure a successful future, listed below and explained in more detail in the rest of the article: How can we deliver a step change in our approach to cost? 1 Cost leadership is becoming a necessity. How can asset productivity be increased? 2 Only business models with high levels of asset productivity will survive. What are our options to grow internationally? 3 Scale matters – and international growth is one of the few ways to drive scale. What more could we be doing to hold on to and build 4 customer relationships? With new competitors on the scene, increasing the ‘stickiness’ of customers is crucial.

  • Amazon and Casino Group Strengthen Their Partnership in France and Announce the Deployment of a New Service with Casino Stores
    Paris, 3 june 2021, Amazon and Casino Group strengthen their partnership in France and announce the deployment of a new service with Casino stores Building on the success of the commercial partnership between Monoprix and Amazon in March 2018, Amazon and Casino Group are strengthening their alliance to continue to make daily life easier for French consumers, by bringing them a new click and collect service with Casino brands. The aim is to offer Amazon customers an even wider selection of food products across France, and to introduce new customers to the food e-commerce expertise of Casino chains. For more than three years, Amazon and Casino Group have been working together to deploy new solutions to make their customers' daily lives easier, including express food delivery services and the provision of parcel collection points. This new phase is in line with the partnership established between Casino Group and Amazon in March 2018. Currently, Monoprix and Naturalia shops, available on Amazon.co.uk for Prime members, cover 70% of the population of the Paris region as well as the cities of Bordeaux, Lyon, Nice and Montpellier. More than 9,000 Monoprix and Naturalia items are available on the Amazon website for free two-hour delivery on purchases of €60 or more. In addition, 600 Amazon Lockers are deployed in the Group's shops (Casino Supermarkets, Monoprix, Casino convenience stores, etc.) and several new installations are planned for the coming weeks. On the strength of these results, Amazon and Casino group will soon be rolling out a new click and collect service with Casino stores in France.

    VIANNEY MULLIEZ : C’est un beau cadeau d’anniversaire, pour les 50 ans de notre entreprise, que de constater combien l’Histoire nous a donné raison. Chez Auchan, nous n’en tirons aucune vanité, mais comment ne pas nous réjouir du choix judicieux qu’a fait, en 1961, notre fondateur Gérard Mulliez. D’emblée, il nous a doté d’une vision et d’une identité forte en misant résolument sur les valeurs humaines et en décidant que, chez Auchan, jamais on ne transigerait avec celles-ci. ARNAUD MULLIEZ : Des valeurs si ancrées dans notre culture d’entreprise qu’elles font notre réputation et notre fierté. Pour nous, et dans tous nos métiers, il importe que le « process » soit au service de l’Homme et cela ne doit jamais être l’inverse. Cette approche prend tout son L’EÉDITO DE VIANNEY MULLIEZ ET D’ARNAUD MULLIEZ ème Edito sens, au début de ce XXI siècle, dans un monde économique globalisé que la récente crise a ébranlé dans ses certitudes. Les experts, les observateurs expliquent cette crise, qui est d’abord une crise de confiance, par le fait que nombre de managers auraient trop misé sur le profit et le court terme.

L’évolution des rapprochements dans ce secteur qui passe d’une compétition à une coopétition est détaillée avant d’évoquer les enjeux territoriaux des politiques de rapprochement des réseaux. Nous étudions en détail le cas de la fusion avortée entre les groupes Auchan et Système U . A partir de l’entropie relative, indice qui permet de mesurer la dispersion spatiale d’un réseau, nous quantifions l’apport en matière de couverture territoriale d’un tel transfert d’enseignes. Alors que la mise en commun des moyens, notamment en ce qui concerne la mutualisation des centrales d’achat dans une logique de sourcing transcende la forme organisationnelle des parties prenantes, l’échange de magasins au sein de ce type d’organisation hybride était voué à l’échec.

Working papers de not reflect the position of INSEE but only their author's views. 1 Division Commerce, Insee. 2 La concurrence du hard discount : quels effets sur les prix et l’emploi ? Pierre Biscourp, Insee Mars 2015 Résumé L’arrivée sur le marché français des chaînes allemandes de hard discount à la fin des années 1980 a constitué un choc majeur. Les réseaux allemands de hard discount, en premier lieu Aldi et Lidl, ont pénétré le territoire français à partir de ses frontières Nord et Est, avant de s’étendre progressivement vers le Sud. Entre le début des années 1990 et la fin des années 2000, ils ont investi la quasi-totalité du marché français. On interprète le schéma d’expansion géographique « en tâche d’huile » à partir du concept d’économies de densité proposé par Holmes (2011) pour expliquer le développement de Wal- Mart aux Etats-Unis. Un réseau réalise des économies de densité lorsque l’implantation des magasins et des plateformes logistiques minimise le coût de distribution.
