Full textAbstract:
The department store retailing concept grew out of the nineteenth century dry goods retail trade. Dry goods stores were usually housed in a group of nineteenth century commercial buildings. As the United States became more prosperous during the late nineteenth century, dry goods establishments outgrew their buildings and developed a new department store building type. The "second generation" store design was generally tripartite: large ground floor display windows, intermediate stories with regular banks of windows, and decorative upper one or two stories capped with an elaborate cornice. These flagship buildings were expanded and remodeled until the 1950s, when the focus of department store retailing shifted to the suburban branch stores. The branch stores anchored shopping centers in the 1950s and 1960s and enclosed shopping malls thereafter.Department of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
The rapid growth of the retail economy has created an abundance of low wage work. The retail sector often employs black and Latina women in low middle management and part-time positions while, white men and women hold top managerial and human resource positions. Consequently, a distinctive pattern of inequality emerges for women of color in retail work. Utilizing data from 20 in-depth interviews, I find black and Latina women's raises and promotions are stifled by the surveillance and bodily control they encounter on the retail floor. This study explores the simultaneous ways race, gender, class and body type intersect to place women of color in subordinate positions within the workforce. Moreover, this research provides insight into how the "white racial frame" is used to exploit women of color by both white management and the self-surveillance women of color conduct onto their own bodies.

Full textAbstract:
Business leaders are challenged with sustaining an engaged workforce to achieve economic prosperity in their organizations. The implementation of effective strategies to increase employee engagement can mitigate the challenges of employee disengagement. The purpose of this qualitative, single case study was to explore the strategies that department store managers used to increase employee engagement. The conceptual frameworks selected for the research were Vroom's expectancy theory of motivation and Kahn's engagement theory. The research participants consisted of 5 department store managers, from the northeastern United States, who successfully used strategies to increase employee engagement. Data were collected from the participants in semistructured interviews and from company archival documents about the strategic efforts that department store managers used to increase employee engagement. Data analysis consisted of compiling the data, coding for emergent themes, disassembling the data into common codes, reassembling the data into themes, interpreting the meaning, and reporting the themes. The 9 themes that emerged from the data were manager and employee relationship, employee motivation, rewards and incentives, expressing appreciation, ensuring employee wellbeing, health and safety, employee empowerment, employee feedback, and establishing employee expectations. The study results could contribute to positive social change by providing department store managers with strategies to increase employee engagement, which may reduce employee turnover and create community-wide employment opportunities for community members.

Full textAbstract:
This report presents information regarding the Ballantynes Department Store Fire
Disaster, which occurred at Christchurch, New Zealand, on the 18th November
1947. The complex was situated where the present building stands at the intersection of Cashel and Colombo Streets.
The fire was first noticed at 3.31 p.m. approximately and the magnitude of the fire was such that within an hour an acre of building had been gutted by fire. The intensity of the blaze was such that flames were observed leaping 300 feet into the air from the top floors of the building at the height of the fire. Heat could be felt 150 yards from the building. The pall of smoke was estimated to have been a mile wide and rising upwards of four to five thousand feet, and was visible thirty miles away. Over six thousand gallons of water per minute were used to fight the fire with no impact. Witnesses described fire spreading through the building "like a flame thrower".
The report focuses on several aspects of this disaster:
1. Examination of the structural aspects and building features.
2. Occupancy hazards applicable to Ballantynes at the time of the fire.
3. Identification of circumstances as to how the building features contributed to the spread of the fire, and loss of life.
4. By-laws, statutes and codes in force in 1947 relating to fire protection and prevention, safety of staff and safe means of egress and whether Ballantynes complied with such requirements.
In conclusion we discuss how the fire could have been prevented from reaching the magnitude it did and how the tragic loss of life could have been averted. We have not compared the Building and Egress Codes of 1947 with those existing today as our approach has been to demonstrate via the Ballantynes fire the hazards that caused this disaster to occur, with the result of the deaths of 41 people trapped in the building.

HEB is a privately-held grocery retailer founded in 1905 in Kerrville, TX. Since then, HEB has grown to 399 stores in 155 communities. Although the majority of its operations have been in southern Texas, nearly 10 percent of HEB’s stores (39) are in Mexico. This may be considered an impressive feat since its entry into Mexico occurred in 1997 to take advantage of the growth opportunities in Mexico and the North American Free Trade Agreement involving Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. The research was conducted using primary data collected through a survey. Secondary data from the Shapiro Index were also employed to explain the observations from the survey. Econometric and statistical models were used in the analyses. Customer quality perception is an important metric for the retail industry. This research evaluates the effect of purchase history, frequency of shopping, price perception, quality and service changes through time on the quality perception of a meat department in a supermarket. The impact of additional labor was analyzed to determine the effect on those variables. The quality perception of the customers of other meat retailers in the same trading areas was also evaluated. The results of the study were then compared to the actual metric used to measure quality perception (Shapiro Index). The study found that the company has a significant higher quality perception than other supermarkets, that labor had a positive effect on quality and service change, customers noticed the change, and with time, it will increase their quality perception. The results show a different perception from customers than the Shapiro Index, customers do not notice a decrement on quality in the meat departments. Based on these results, a further research on the actual methodology used was performed, training and new purchasing specifications were applied to improve the intrinsic characteristics of the products and a new marketing campaign was launched based on quality and freshness.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2011.Customers expect from a store that displays expensive products to make an effort to decorate the store with atmospheric elements to create a prestige atmosphere. The four stores that the participants visited target upper-class customers and display expensive products. One of the participants mentioned that the atmosphere in Hip Hop remind her of a take-away restaurant. Hip Hop was making no effort to decorate its stores to create a hedonic experience for its customers. They were relying on their well-known brand name to sell their products. In the long run, this strategy will not be effective as the competition gets tougher and more brands enter the market. High-class fashion stores focus more on hedonic customers. Customers do not need to buy expensive clothes as there are many discount stores that could fulfil their clothing needs. In order for high-class fashion stores to attract customers they need to create a hedonic experience for their customers in the store. The customers must want to enter the store and spend time in the store. Atmospheric elements can attract customers to the store and influence the time they spend in the store. It is important that new fashion stores have the right atmospheric design in their stores. New stores cannot rely on a name as this is not well known. The atmospheric design of a store tells customers what they can expect in the store. One of our main findings is that there is a difference between the atmospheric designs in shopping centres. The fashion stores in the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town use atmospherics in their stores to create a prestige atmosphere for their upper-class customers. On the other hand, the atmospheric designs in the fashion stores in Canal Walk, which attracts middle-class customers, had a lower quality and were not regarded to be as prestige as those of the V&A Waterfront stores. The most expensive merchandise was also found in the fashion stores in the V&A Waterfront. Most of the stores in our sample use some atmospheric elements. However, the combination of the atmospheric elements in the stores did not always match. The participants viewed the atmospheric design as a whole and it was important to them that all the atmospheric elements fit together. The participants were noticeably disappointed with a store that did not make use of atmospherics to enhance its customers’ shopping experience. They found the store too plain as the storeowner did not make any effort to decorate the store. When they entered a store that did make use of atmospherics, the participants mentioned that they would like to spend more time in the store.

The department store is the new ceremony place for modern consumer society. Nowadays due to the prosperous of mass media; consumption has become a social activity related to sign and symbol. To spy the aspects of cultural consumption represent by Taiwanese department stores TV commercials under overrunning of consumerism. Therefore, this study is based on the concern of cultural consumption of modern symbol consumer society. Bringing up Taiwanese department retailers’ presentation, the SUNRISE department store’s TV commercials come out first. These TV commercials set a leading fashion model for SUNRISE department store. Hence, this study selected these TV commercials from year 1988 to 2004 as the text analysis according to Hoshino Katsumi’s “Advertisement Semiotics Analysis”. His theory helps us discover which types of elements are used in the commercials to create the consumer images. In totally, through a series of TV commercials we can find out that it rarely present the use value directly in commercials; the point is on character image, feeling image and life image. That is related to SUNRISE department store’s creative style. It always not focuses on the product itself but on the showing of alternative unique style instead. Besides, it makes the significance of symbol transfer to product through the operation logic of TV commercials and will let the consumers go consuming constantly in order to content with their mental happiness and endless consuming desire. Additionally, under SUNRISE department store’s consistently special style of TV commercials, they release massive nonstop-shopping desire and encourage consumers to ensure their value of existence by shopping continuously and aggressively. In conclusion, the representation of TV commercials are just like Jean Baudrillard stated: after demand-consumption conceding to symbol consumption, all commercials are no longer resorted to consume goods itself, but the significance of culture, concept of aesthetics, life attitude and advocacy.

The service industry is growing quickly and every business has to rack their brains to attract customer’s attention in order to keep them. Store image is the key point of the customer’s first impression. In the past studies about store image, they dealed attributes with conjunctive relations. It used the Likert scale as measurement instrumentation and aggregate by arithmetic average. However, disjunctive relations among attributes usually happen in numerous real-world cases. In addition, there exist uncertainty and vagueness in human’s subjective judgment. Thus, more and more studies tried to used the theory of fuzzy sets in order to handle the problems of incomplete information. In the fuzzy set theory, there is no means to incorporate the lack of knowledge with the membership degree. A possible solution is to use Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set(IFS). IFSs are the extension of ordinary fuzzy sets and provide the possibility to model unknown information via an additional degree. In this study, we use IFSs to develop three measurement models of store image, including E model, J model and h model. In the E model, we use the evaluation function to measure the degrees to which the alternative satisfies and does not satisfy the decision-maker’s requirement on store image. Next, we apply intuitionistic fuzzy point operators and construct the J model. The usage of point operators can reduce the extant uncertainty concerning the attribute in a universe corresponding to IFSs. On the other hand, the past studies have pointed interval-value fuzzy sets(IVFSs) are equipollent generalizations of the notion of FSs. We use the lower bound and upper bound of membership degrees defined on IVFS to develop the h model. We use the generalized mean in fuzzy aggregation operations to combine several IVFSs become a single IVFS. Finally, a series of score functions consisting of S0, S1, S2, and H methods are defined for multi-attribute decision-making analysis. It not only can solve equal ranking problems but also can simulate the operation in customer’s mind. The target of the empirical study is the five department stores. The empirical results indicate that the validity of our proposed method perform better than one of the Likert Scale. Furthermore, our models are generalized-purpose methods since they can adjust the parameter values and types of dual t-norms and t-conorms. The main contribution of this study is to developed new measurement models of store image and to demonstrate their feasibility and practicability through the empirical studies. In the future, we suggest that the firms should adjust parameter according to the specific characteristic of their industry.

Department stores are entities that respond to rapid changes in the business processes. The department stores in early times only need to attract shoppers; at the present, department stores need to have magnificent buildings, as well as the potential added values of improving urban life quality and the characteristics to attract crowds in the area. In the traditional department store design, closed building design separates it from the crowds in the surrounding area. People can only perceive the open surroundings and the closed department store shopping area; the department stores lack interesting spatial experience and possibility of visual guidance. Hence, how to attract potential consumers and create a friendly sense of space in department store design is an issue to be discussed. The purpose of this study is to propose the appropriate spatial design of department stores based on the evolvement of department stores and the comparison of new and old types of department stores in Taiwan and abroad. By discussing the relationship between the micro-climate environment of the department store and people, this study explores the department store design through assumptive design operations, expecting to propose different design strategies and viewpoints about the department store design.

Consumer environment, consumer affect and cognition, consumer behavior and marketing strategy are four factors that interact reciprocally. Consumer environment refers to external objects and stimulants that influence consumer perception and behavior. Consumer affect and cognition are how consumer think and perceive about stimulants received from environment. According to past experiences, consumers develop knowledge, meaning and belief stored in memory. The attention, memory and comprehension of events collectively generate evaluation that is then adopted for purchase decisions. It is critically helpful for a success marketing strategy development to wisely observe and evaluate consumer behavior. Based on a major reference of V.W. Mitchell (1999), this paper focuses on the redefinition of store image functional dimensions. The four dimensions include physical, financial, time and convenience, and psychosocial. To define a store, specific store functions and psychological attributes jointly shape consumer’s integrated image toward a certain shop. This image affects purchase behavior of Taipei population in the aspect of department stores shopping experiences. This research measured the importance consideration and consumer satisfaction at the business combination of core products, additional services, and marketing campaign in complex department stores. In addition, the correlation between satisfaction and consumer loyalty is furthermore discussed. Analysis results illustrate the correlation between consumer loyalty and customer satisfaction in all four store image functional dimensions. Second, we focus on consumers with different satisfaction levels who show diverse correlation between their loyalty and the importance of store function mix. Crossly, we categorize consumers by the importance level of store function mix to analyze the correlation between satisfaction and consumer loyalty each group possesses. Our findings conclude a positive correlation of satisfaction and consumer loyalty. Among the group with higher satisfaction, consumer loyalty is strongly influenced by the importance of store function mix. When customer are well satisfied with the functions they view more important, loyalty is consequently enhanced upwards. However, whether consumers are satisfied at less importance functions doesn’t construct significant correlation to loyalty. Therefore, we suggest that entrepreneurs should clearly define target customer segments during its positioning stage. Precise understandings of particular customer attributes and needs are crucial to any effective and well-organized marketing strategy, Besides, by identifying who your major customers are and what they regard important, business are expected to reach optimum resources allocation and utilization, thus to reinforce competitive advantages. As for those functions customer tend to care less about, wasteful investment can be avoided. Firms are more likely to dominate a loyal customer group when they concentrate operations on satisfying vital customer needs. Otherwise, customers will immediately turn to competitors who spare no effort to provide higher satisfaction at their top demands, and shift their loyalty anytime due to the fluctuation of time, location and overall environmental features.

Increasing living and educational levels have drastically changed consumers’ shopping behavior. The rise of distribution centers has caused the traditional multiple and complex shipping channels to alter: All suppliers and venders nowadays ship goods first to a distribution center, and then a distribution center deliver the goods directly to retail stores. Distribution centers have promoted the numbers of chain stores, department stores, and wholesale stores. This study evaluates efficiencies of department stores, warehouses, and convenience stores in Taiwan and investigates the factors affecting efficiencies. In our data set, there are 12 department store systems, 5 warehouse systems, and 5 convenience store systems in Taiwan during 1997 to 2000. First, the panel-data, stochastic frontiers model developed by Battese and Coelli (1995) is used to compute the technical efficiencies of these retail store systems. Second, the data envelopment analysis (DEA) developed by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes (1978) is applied to evaluate their technical efficiencies. Empirical finding from these two methods are consistent. Four major findings are made: 1.A decrease in the sales floor and an increase in the number of stores significantly improve a convenience store system''s efficiency. 2.A larger sales floor significantly decreases a warehouse system''s efficiency. 3.An increase in the sales floor and a decrease in the number of stores significantly improve a department store system''s efficiency. 4.The rankings in efficiency are, from the highest to the lowest, convenience store systems, department store systems, and wholesale warehouse systems.

This study aims to establish a product mix decision model for DM designs in department stores. The model is divided into two parts. The first is to build suitable criteria to evaluate DM products via an analysis of relevant literature and the Modified Delphi method; the relative weights of the criteria were then determined via Analytic Hierarchy process (AHP). The other part is to determine the optimum product mix for DM design using the GRA method; this part is corroborated with both an example of a well-known Japanese department store located in Taiwan using two major promotional periods featuring “new arrivals” and “discounts” as common marketing strategies. The research result found that the strategies adopted in the “new arrival” period differ from those in the “discount” period. The four criteria in the “new arrival” period, according to their importance, are: popularity of the products themselves, the DM layout design, how the product manufacturers contribute to the DM design, and popularity of the products after they are promoted in some way. In this period, the most important point for the DM design lies in how much profit the brand of some product has earned. In the “discount” period, the criteria, in order of importance, are: popularity of the products after they are promoted in some way, popularity of the products themselves, how the product manufacturers contribute to the DM design, and the DM layout design; exclusive products play a crucial role in DM design during this period. Since DM is the main promotion channel for department stores, a DM always undergoes frequent evaluations. Also because the products and information in the DM can represent the image of a department store and even affect its competitive edge, such a model that will serve as an objective and effective tool for department stores to select a product mix that can best arouse customers’ shopping desire is academically and commercially valuable.

There are only three stores in Taiwan can be called “department store” during Japanese ruled period, which have elevators, female Attendants and food courts. The earliest Japanese department store “Mitsukoshi” broke the traditional rules that stores can only selling products on ground floor, and added food court into it. Food court occupied huge space and became a significant symbol. Now everything such as supermarket, laundry shop and shoemakers can be absent in department stores in Taiwan, but food courts can’t. This study aims to examine the food courts of Taiwan’s Japanese department stores through “spatial analysis” with an in-depth study of space design. Three Japanese department stores, including Dayeh Takashimaya, Mitsukoshi, and SOGO, in Taipei’s Tianmu area were analyzed, as the researcher looked into the relationship between the development of the companies and the area. In addition, the study attempted to explore the impacts of the three Japanese department stores on Tianmu residents. Through in-depth interviews with local residents at all ages and Dayeh Takashimaya industry, it tried to compare the strengths and weaknesses of the companies from different perspectives. In particular, the study focused on the interior space of Dayeh Takashimaya’s food court, featuring a comparison between the differences before and after its 2014 renovation, such as space elements, flooring, customer flow and service lines, and other related spatial analyses. Tianmu is a special area which locate at suburbs but crowed with Japanese department store. Though foreign residents gradually moved out, their influences about culture and living style remain. It is notable that food courts of these three Japanese department stores in Tainmu locate on different floors, and that shows their strategies about customers. Many of modern Taiwanese became fastfood junkie today, and food courts in local department stores became reliable choices. Not only the great number of dining choice, but also the comfortable space atmosphere, roomy circulation and food sanitation are the reasons why customers patronize.

With the aspect of cultural research, we regard the representation of architecture and space as the product which reflected contemporary social structure, and make researches on the production and representation of space of the department store being as a large retail institution in modern city how to achieve the dual logic─to stimulate and satisfy consumption－in capitalistic society. We take the example of the Pacific SOGO department store in Taipei as the case study. There are two main parts of this thesis. First, through the collection of relative documents. inquiring of the conductor of department stores, shop makers, architects, and interior designers etc. We found the mechanism of the production and the management of space behind forms. And we found out that the specific meanings of space are defined in different gradations by various professional agents under the leadership of the department store. The influences of the factors upon the representation of space include the individuality of the precinct, the idea of management, the operational mode of tenant system and technical cooperation, and the refashion of space and the sales promotion. In the second part of interpreting the meanings of space, we analyzed the social meanings of the building type and the space form through the urban context, the implemental representations of spaces, the contrasts of spaces, and the consumptive characters hidden behind spaces. The conclusion is that the department store has not only the use value of providing a place to sale merchandise but also the exchanged value appended by merchandise, becuuse the recreation is integrated into the process fo production with the form fo consumption, As a product of society, the various of spaces of the department store become a merchandised symbolic system having a intention established by the specific mode of production process to stimulate popular consumption.

The development of department stores in the last ten years is for the purpose of satisfying the customer's need of different level and diversified product demand. When consumers accept the better service quality, they also expect that the department store can consider customer's need from the consumer's point of view and conduct more interaction with customers. Thus, the role of first-line customer service personnel is much important. Therefore, to understand and construct the professional competencies of first-line customer serve personnel are the key to improve service quality of department store. The subjects of this study are department store's customer serve personnel.
