    Variations in supplier relations operating within voluntary groups; historical perspectives on relationships and social justice in the independent retail sector . Keith Jackson, Doctoral Candidate, University of Cumbria Professor Helen Woodruffe-Burton, Newcastle Business School, Northumbria University Abstract The convenience store sector evolved from the variety of small retailers operating in the 1950’s and is still dominated (in store numbers) by SMEs operating smaller stores (usually smaller than 3,000 sq ft.); trading extended hours; with a base around confectionary, tobacco and news (CTN) and off licence. In the 1980s as more independent retailers adopted the new convenience format the convenience sector spread geographically to fill the increasing demand for local stores with extended hours. Once geographic saturation was reached the main independent supply chains within the convenience sector adopted either a broadly coordinated embedded network through voluntary symbol groups or a broadly cooperative supply chain through cash and carries and delivered wholesalers. Various writers have argued that networking and the building of social capital (as in the voluntary symbol groups) is vital for SME growth whilst Jack and Anderson (2002) have demonstrated that entrepreneurs embedding themselves within a network may be sacrificing their entrepreneurial capabilities. Around 2000, the major retail multiples and the COOP entered the convenience sector. By using their extensive knowledge of Supply Chain Management (SCM) they were able to gain commercial advantage over the existing supply chains which focused these chains on the need for economic efficiency. This meant that the businesses within the voluntary groups had to choose between the mechanisms highlighted by Payan (2000) of economic efficiency with increased dependence on the centre and the mechanisms of social justice within the group that allowed independent actions within the group.

  • 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.

  • A Historical Look at the Shops – Past and Present in the Colchester Town Centre Area
    A HISTORICAL LOOK AT THE SHOPS – PAST AND PRESENT IN THE COLCHESTER TOWN CENTRE AREA 1 INTRODUCTION Having written about walking around our town and others over Christmas and the month of January, looking at churches in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk, the weekend of 1st and 2nd February 2014, saw me writing and photographing the main shops in our town of Colchester and trying to find out the National History of the businesses. So here is my story again …… 99p STORE (84-86 Culver Street East) 99p Stores Ltd. is a family run business founded in January 2001 by entrepreneur Nadir Lalani, who opened the first store in the chain in Holloway, London, with a further three stores opening later that year. In 2002, Lalani decided to expand the business throughout the UK and has rapidly developed 99p Stores, operating a total of 129 stores as of March 2010 and serving around 1.5 million customers each week, undercutting their main rival Poundland by a penny. As of mid-2009 the company offered more than 3,500 different product lines throughout its stores. Most of their stores are based in the south of the UK, although there are stores as far north as Liverpool and Hartlepool. The chain saw accelerated store expansion upon the collapse of Woolworths Group, where they took the opportunity to acquire 15 of these former stores, increasing their estate to 79 at that time. Landlords are now regarding 99p Stores as an anchor tenant due to the significant number of customers one of their stores can bring to a location.

  • 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.
