  • 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.

  • T He New Space Race Is On. Even As
    property special the new space race he new space race is on. Even as the growth in superstores slows down, gro- cery chains are jostling for position in the rush to occupy the ‘new’ territory: The new high street-based convenience stores. TOne by one the supermarket chains have joined early leaders Tesco and Sainsbury’s in a battle to secure small stores in urban and suburban locations. New figures underline the extent of this trend. According to UK construction data experts Glenigan, space race in 2011 there was a 140% increase in c-store planning applications made by the mults on the previous year. Stuart Watson Although the number of c-store applications fell back last year, there were still almost twice as many plans tabled as in 2010 (see p50). So what’s behind this new The hypermarket is yesterday’s news. space race and does the push towards smaller stores spell the end for the hypermarket?

  • Morrisons Response to Issues Statement
    Non-confidential version PROPOSED MERGER BETWEEN SAINSBURY'S AND ASDA RESPONSE TO ISSUES STATEMENT 1. INTRODUCTION AND EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 This memorandum sets out comments by Wm Morrison Supermarkets plc ("Morrisons") in relation to: (a) the CMA's Issues Statement (dated 16 October 2018) in connection with the proposed merger between Sainsbury's and Asda; and (b) the Parties initial submission to the CMA (dated 10 October 2016). 1.2 Morrisons is broadly supportive of the areas of focus identified by the CMA in the Issues Statement, which extends significantly beyond the limited range of issues considered by the CMA in its reference decision. 1.3 Given the size of the transaction and the importance of the UK grocery market to UK consumers, it is important that the CMA has sufficient time to get to the bottom of all the issues raised by the proposed transaction. Even a very small price rise resulting from the merger can be expected to have a very significant adverse impact on UK consumers. 1.4 Whilst a key argument of the parties is that the UK grocery sector has fundamentally changed in recent years, and therefore they suggest that a fundamentally different approach to assessing the transaction is needed, Morrisons considers that such changes should not be overstated. The market structure at a national level has remained similar since 2008 with four large retailers that have actually increased market share. Moreover, despite the recent growth of Aldi and Lidl, the presence of Limited Assortment Discounters in the UK groceries market is not new and nor is their business model, and most consumers continue to rely on large grocery stores with a wide product selection for a weekly or fortnightly grocery shop.
