  • Global Vs. Local-The Hungarian Retail Wars

    Global Vs. Local-The Hungarian Retail Wars

    Journal of Business and Retail Management Research (JBRMR) October 2015 Global Vs. Local-The Hungarian Retail Wars Charles S. Mayer Reza M. Bakhshandeh Central European University, Budapest, Hungary Key Words MNE’s, SME’s, Hungary, FMCG Retailing, Cooperatives, Rivalry Abstract In this paper we explore the impact of the ivasion of large global retailers into the Hungarian FMCG space. As well as giving the historical evolution of the market, we also show a recipe on how the local SME’s can cope with the foreign competition. “If you can’t beat them, at least emulate them well.” 1. Introduction Our research started with a casual observation. There seemed to be too many FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) stores in Hungary, compared to the population size, and the purchasing power. What was the reason for this proliferation, and what outcomes could be expected from it? Would the winners necessarily be the MNE’s, and the losers the local SME’S? These were the questions that focused our research for this paper. With the opening of the CEE to the West, large multinational retailers moved quickly into the region. This was particularly true for the extended food retailing sector (FMCG’s). Hungary, being very central, and having had good economic relations with the West in the past, was one of the more attractive markets to enter. We will follow the entry of one such multinational, Delhaize (Match), in detail. At the same time, we will note how two independent local chains, CBA and COOP were able to respond to the threat of the invasion of the multinationals.
  • Wythall Residents Association

    Wythall Residents Association

    WYTHALL RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION Together we can make Wythall West a better place to live and work. Wythall residents need a strong INDEPENDENT LOCAL VOICE to speak out as their District Councillor. We are giving you that CHOICE. Why should you vote for your WYTHALL RESIDENTS ASSOCIATION candidate? We need to improve the way Bromsgrove District Council is managed: The Council has lost its way and needs fresh ideas and a new approach to delivering local services. The planning department is officially the worst performing in the entire country and has been “Designated” by the Government which means that large developers are able to by-pass the Council’s democratic planning process. Your Council Tax money is being wasted on grandiose schemes to revive the flagging Bromsgrove town centre. Converting an old, unsuitable building into a new Council House with limited space and car parking, this means that virtually all of the Council staff will be based in Redditch, which adds to the expense. Borrowing over £11m to build a new Bromsgrove Town leisure centre with no sports hall and which our residents cannot reach by public transport. Council Tax payers will be repaying this debt for the next 50 years. The New Homes Bonus has not been fairly shared with Wythall. We have had to accommodate many new homes with no additional facilities or infrastructure. This short term Government funding is currently used to prop up council services—but what will happen when it runs out? Only Wythall Residents Association Councillors believe that Wythall residents should receive a fair share of this bonus.
  • Records Indexes Tithe Apportionment and Plans Handlist

    Records Indexes Tithe Apportionment and Plans Handlist

    Records Service Records Indexes Tithe Apportionment and Plans handlist The Tithe Commutation Act of 1836 replaced the ancient system of payment of tithes in kind with monetary payments. As part of the valuation process which was undertaken by the Tithe Commissioners a series of surveys were carried out, part of the results of which are the Tithe Maps and Apportionments. An Apportionment is the principal record of the commutation of tithes in a parish or area. Strictly speaking the apportionment and map together constitute a single document, but have been separated to facilitate use and storage. The standard form of an Apportionment contains columns for the name(s) of the landowners and occupier(s); the numbers, acreage, name or description, and state of cultivation of each tithe area; the amount of rent charge payable, and the name(s) of the tithe-owner(s). Tithe maps vary greatly in scale, accuracy and size. The initial intent was to produce maps of the highest possible quality, but the expense (incurred by the landowners) led to the provision that the accuracy of the maps would be testified to by the seal of the commissioners, and only maps of suitable quality would be so sealed. In the end, about one sixth of the maps had seals. A map was produced for each "tithe district", that is, one region in which tithes were paid as a unit. These were often distinct from parishes or townships. Areas in which tithes had already been commutated were not mapped, so that coverage varied widely from county to county.

    Lidl Has Finally Opened in Atlanta: How Will This Affect the Atlanta Supermarket Landscape?! Powder Springs - 1/16 Snellville - 1/30 Mableton - 2/13

    Lidl has finally opened in Atlanta: How will this affect the Atlanta supermarket landscape?! Powder Springs - 1/16 Snellville - 1/30 Mableton - 2/13 Lidl’s has three store-openings set for Atlanta this month. The first is Powder Springs on 1/16/19, followed by Snellville on 1/30/19 and Mableton on 2/13/19. If you haven’t been to a Lidl before, it’s a good-looking store and simple to shop. Very similar to an ALDI, but larger and with the same emphasis on house brands at an extreme discount to name brand products. Lidl ( 36,000 sf) has created an interesting store model for the US. Its stores are significantly larger than ALDI’s (12,000 -15,000 sf) and smaller than the traditional Kroger (45,000-80,000) or Publix store models (42,000- 48,000 sf). As heavily reported, LIDLs initial store openings in the US did not bring the traffic or volumes they hoped for. By opening three stores in the same size format, LIDL is taking a risk. Many (including me) feel that they should be opening in more dense markets and with smaller stores. continued retail specialists retail strategies retail specialists retail strategies My prediction is that these three openings will have minimal impact on the Atlanta “supermarket and real estate market. The Atlanta MSA already has over 340 grocery stores and another three is not going to change the landscape. First, these are all free-standing locations, so there’s no new supply of small shop space for lease.
