Long David E. K~nyon September, 1986 Blacksburg, Virginia PRESENT AND POTENTIAL USAGES OF SCANNER-DERIVED INFORMATION FOR MANAGERIAL DECISION-MAKING IN FOOD RETAILING by Jeffrey Miller Thomas Oral Capps, Jr., Chairman Agricultural Economics (ABSTRACT) This study addresses the lag in effective usage of scanner-derived information in managerial decision-making. The purpose of this research is to clarify the informational needs of the various levels of manage- ment in a retail grocery firm and to develop an informational management system to deliver such information. The four specific objectives of this project are: (1) to identify the decision-making roles of the various levels of management in a firm, (2) to identify the present usage of scanner-derived information in decision-making, (3) to identify specific scanner-derived information which could facilitate the decision- making process, and (4) to develop a firm-wide information management system which would provide each management level with the information it needs and would coordinate total firm operations, but would not burden a particular level with large volumes of unnecessary data. The information used for meeting the objectives of this research was largely collected through open-ended discussions with various levels of management within seventeen cooperating retail grocery firms. The discussions placed emphasis on the current usages of scanner-derived data and on how to facilitate the use of scanner-derived data in managerial decision-making.

    Page 1 of 39 Tijdschrift voor economische en sociale geografie / Journal of Economic and Social Geography INTRODUCTION In the late-20th century, a key public health debate in the United States (U.S.) began to focus on health outcomes associated with automobile-oriented built environments characterized by low-densities and segregated land uses. Research began establishing links between low- density developments, resulting automobile dependence and reduced moderate activity levels among the American population (Cao 2010; Berrigan et al . 2014). Associated with the sedentary lifestyles, relationships also were drawn to increases in obesity and a variety of other adverse health outcomes, including poorer mental health, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (Lopez 2004; Sturm & Cohen 2004). By the mid-1990s, with evidence linking sedentary lifestyles, obesity and increased mortality rates, physical activity—including moderate activity such as walking—became a essential national health objective (USDHHS 1996). Within this research, scale emerged as an important dimension. Studies utilizing higher geographic scales, such as counties, emphasized the importance of urban form in shaping inactivity and obesity. In contrast, neighborhood level studies emphasized socioeconomic factors, such as poverty, as being important in influencing health outcomes, including obesity (Scott et al. 2009; Vojnovic et al. 2014). This research also was consistent with existing studies concluding that the highest obesity levels were evident among marginalized populations (Wang & Beydoun 2007; Flegal et al. 2012). More recently, researchers have focused on the relationship between the neighborhood food environmentAccepted Article and public health outcomes. Studies have found that the composition of the neighborhood food environment can shape dietary intake and alleviate one’s risk for obesity (Chen et al.

  • Federal Trade Commission Volume Decision 102 (July
    950 FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION DECISIONS Initial Decision 102 F. ever initiated a general price-cutting program. (Posey 1651; Gooding 1121-23) Industry members in Orlando, such as independents like Fairway, tend to price off these market leaders. (Posey 1651; Gooding 1121-22; Spearman 80G-01) Albertson s entry into Orlando led to a decrease in prices in that market. (Posey 1649; CX 64G-1) Prices are high enough in Orlando to attract other new entrants, but entry must be suffcient to over- come existing entry barriers. (Cheek 1597-98) When Fairway, the largest independent in Orlando, cut prices heavily below the market and increased advertising in 1978, neither Publix, Winn-Dixie nor Albertson s reacted. (Posey 1639) Mr. Gooding s three large stores in Orlando are not listed on the price-checking service used by Orlando s major competitors. (Posey 1651) Mr. Spearman testified that, in his opinion, entry into Orlando by a major firm like Grand Union would lead to a decrease in prices and a redistribution of market shares, especially affecting the market leaders. (Spearman 803-04) Respondents argue that complaint counsel' s concentration figures overstate the amount of concentration in (148) this SMSA because they fail to account for the influence of the local commissary and of convenience stores in Orlando. (RPF 197-207) According to public records, the Orlando Naval Training Station Commissary had sales in fiscal 1978 (including three months of calendar 1977) of$16.7 milion or $321 000 weekly.
