Full textAbstract:
With the development of the industry, a department store type has emerged in order to provide easy access to the products. department store; It is a variety that exhibits different product groups with multiple departments in a single architectural volume and is offered for sale, and started to be applied as of the 18th century. The first example is the Le Bon Marché department store in Paris, France. These large square meter stores, which are also a center of socialization, have gone to identity structuring as alternatives have emerged and even contain the same products. Le Bon March”, being the first of its kind, grew with increasing demand and went into professional structuring in order to differentiate itself from the environment, and it was revised by the important architects of the period. As a result of the visual identity it has created, it has started to host both fashion product sales and eating and drinking activities by hosting many brands. The sociality that has developed as of the 21st century has brought a new dimension to the exhibition spaces by reflecting in the commercial action. Department stores have turned into centers for arts organizations as well as selling products in this direction. Installation type, which is the application and expression type of art, started to take place in department stores at this stage. Le Bon Marché's deep historical value has turned the art of installation into an area where it will integrate with spatial identity. At this stage, the spatial identity of the installations in the departmental store, the artist and the applications exhibited by integrating with the style in his works are seen. In the study, which is considered within the scope of qualitative research, the exhibition techniques created on the basis of spatial identity are handled with case studies and literature support, and it is reached how the installations can be rationalized in the spatial identity of the department store. Keywords: Department Store, Identity, Space Design, Installation, Exhibition Techniques.

Attraction towards decorated and tidy places is an innate human trait. The visit to well-organised places is more frequent whether for shopping or regular outings. This study aims to determine how environmental cues, such as human crowding and disorganised isles and shelves, influence the consumer intention to visit a departmental store in Pakistan in the post-covid era. The study investigates the mediating role of consumer-perceived contamination. The data was gathered from 298 participants in Karachi who frequently shopped at departmental stores. The collected data was analysed using PLS- SEM, and the results indicated that store messiness has a negative impact on consumer visit intention, which is mediated by perceived contamination. The results also showed that human crowding has a direct negative relationship with consumer visit intention, regardless of the consumer perceived contamination. It was suggested that managers should focus on enhancing the environment of the store to provide an exclusive shopping experience to the consumers and make use of strategies centered on improving environmental cues to mitigate the challenges associated with perceived contamination in the post- covid era.

Introduction: A local outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has rapidly evolved into a global pandemic and the number of cases and deaths has increased exponentially. In this study, we report a COVID-19 outbreak that occurred in a departmental store, between January and February 2020, in Wenzhou, China and investigated the reasons for the outbreak.
Methodology: An outbreak investigation was initiated after the index case was diagnosed as COVID-19. Cases (confirmed and suspected) and close contacts were defined. Their pharyngeal swabs were collected and examined with real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for nucleic acid. All investigations of the confirmed and suspected cases were carried out by epidemiologists and the source of infection was tracked by using big data.
Results: Thirty-nine COVID-19 cases and one asymptomatic individual were found in this outbreak, as determined by clinical manifestations, epidemiological investigation, and RT-PCR. Majority of COVID-19 cases occurred in a departmental store, three of whom traveled to participate in a meeting held in H city. After disease outbreak in the departmental store, intra-family transmission of COVID-19 occurred in five families. Two clusters of the COVID-19 outbreak were identified. One cluster was attributed to the family party, while another was attributed to a hotel party, which was responsible for transmission across three generations, infecting five family members.
Conclusions: This was travel associated COVID-19 outbreak in a departmental store in Wenzhou, China. High infectivity of COVID-19 was observed. A departmental store, especially without recirculation of the air, was a high-risk site for the transmission of COVID-19. The use of big data and related information was very useful in epidemiological investigation of cases and contacts.

The present paper proposes a departmental store automation system based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm. The items in the departmental store spanned over different sections and in multiple floors, are tagged with passive RFID tags. The floor is divided into number of zones depending on different types of items that are placed in their respective racks. Each of the zones is placed with one RFID reader, which constantly monitors the items in their zone and periodically sends that information to the application. The problem of systematic periodic monitoring of the store is addressed in this application so that the locations, distributions and demands of every item in the store can be invigilated with intelligence. The proposed application is successfully demonstrated on a simulated case study.

Objectives: This article provides a text mining analysis of customers’ opinion of misspelled retail store signage using NVivo software and suggests measures for small retailers to focus on retail signage semiotics. Design Methodology: The sample signages (5 images) were distributed online and 112 completed customer opinions were collected in the form of an open ended questionnaire along with few scaled questions and demographics questions. The sentiments behind the opinions were analyzed and keywords were extracted using NVivo software. Findings: In general, small store signages are viewed are not at all important from the view point of majority of retailers themselves as they feel that their proximity and availability near a residential layout is most important. Though this statement is true, they lose out on opportunity largely because many other small store retailers or a mid-sized departmental store in the same area grabs the opportunity by demonstrating a host of attributes including signage to attract customers. Research Implications: Customers though reach out small stores for their daily needs, tend to evaluate stores based on their appearance and more specifically in terms of the details showcased in the form of signages and other boards in front of the store. Therefore, it is significantly important for small store retailers to design their signages prominently loaded with sufficient store related information to attract customers, which in turn can help to retain them for the long run. Scope for future work / Research limitations: A significant percentage (66%) of opinions drawn from the sample survey respondents depict that the signages of small stores were neutral. This is in turn could mean that customers have not affixed enough weightage to the signage of small stores and therefore small retailers can use this as an opportunity to attract customers with attractive signages with good and sufficient information. Originality/value: Being an opinion text analysis study the choice of signages were selected in random order as the study aims at understanding the response of any customer towards a small store signage in terms of what they feel about the usage of store related attributes and spellings. Keywords: NVivo, small retail store, signage, banner Paper type: Research paper

Full textAbstract:
The remarkable growth of the Indian retail landscape over the last decade is reflected in the proliferation of supermarkets, departmental stores and hypermarkets in India. Evolving consumption patterns, raising living standards has sparked a huge demand in the food and grocery retailing. Impulse buying is a time-tested tactic by which retailers grab customer’s attention and boost average purchase value. Prior research has deliberated extensively on impulse buying in the store and its determinants. However, little effort has been made to examine the impulse buying behaviour, particularly at the retail checkout. To bridge this gap, we conducted an empirical study in the leading food and grocery modern retail stores in selected Tier I and Tier II cities in the state of Karnataka, India. The data was collected from 385 respondents using a structured questionnaire. The responses were analysed using confirmatory factor analysis and multiple regression. Our study shows that impulse buying at the store checkout area is minimal and sporadic for most of the product categories at the checkout. Impulse buying at the checkout is instigated by factors such as store environment, credit card availability, momentary mood, in-store promotion, offers and discounts and large merchandise. The study has important implications for retail stores by emphasising on the choice of merchandise offered for sale at the checkout area. Further, the investigation reveals that Indian shoppers are health-conscious and cautious about their purchase at the checkout rather than being impulsive.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to develop and empirically test a model investigating the relationship among inter-departmental communication, buyer innovativeness, and retail competitiveness. The authors also explore whether a retail strategy of supply base diversification for managing suppliers moderates the association between innovativeness and competitiveness.Design/methodology/approachHypotheses were tested using a structural equation model and survey data drawn from general merchandise managers of 149 supermarket retailers in Japan.FindingsThe results indicate that inter-departmental communication between merchandising and store divisions drives innovativeness among retail buyers and ultimately strengthens firm competitiveness. Moreover, when buyer innovativeness is evident and less actively the retail buyers utilize supply base diversification, the stronger is the retailer’s competitiveness. The study failed to find any direct impact of inter-departmental communication on retail competitiveness.Practical implicationsThis study offers managerial insights into the roles that buyer innovativeness, inter-departmental communications, and supply base diversification play in developing effective competitive strategies.Originality/valueThis study makes two key contributions. First, it is novel in using inter-departmental communication to explain the antecedents of buyer innovativeness. Second, drawing on the power-dependence theory, the authors extend the well-established innovativeness-performance linkage by exploring the moderation effect of supply base diversification.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, with the continuous maturity of blockchain technology, more and more applications based on blockchain appear in our life. The safe sharing and rapid disposal of caseinvolved property information is the focus of online case management. At present, due to some characteristics of case-involved properties, the case platform with centralized management has some issues, such as low collaborative efficiency and low intelligence. In this paper, we propose the architecture and implementation scheme of the cross departmental case-involved property transfer system based on blockchain. By introducing the blockchain technology, we have established a multi departmental case-involved property information transfer alliance chain across the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments. The case-involved property transfer system uses smart contract to implement a set of case-involved property transfer procedures designed by our investigation and research. It proposes an infrastructure of alliance blockchain based on multi-chain technology according to the business logic and makes the public security, procuratorial and judicial departments as the alliance blockchain nodes. Blockchain technology can make all nodes store transaction data. So it can efficiently realize the sharing of case-involved property information, leave traces in transaction processing and trace the processing source of case-involved properties.

Full textAbstract:
A company can survive and thrive when the strategies and processes applied in its business are correct. One of the processes in determining strategy in decision making. The owner of Setia Store has difficulty in choosing a marketing strategy. The product layout shows this in the Setia Store, which confuses customers. Setia Store also rarely offers a promotion, making it difficult to compete with competitors. This study aims to help Setia Store increase sales by determining the right marketing strategy. To determine the right marketing strategy, there are three methods developed. First of all, the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is employed to find the customer priorities. Then, clustering is proposed to find potential marketing targets that have similar characteristics from the results of the AHP method. Third, association rule-market basket analysis (AR-MBA) is developed to find the best rules for product marketing strategy. The first method shows that the housewives (EV=0.6270) are Setia Store's priority customers from the three methods. Second, cluster 3 (which has three characteristics in common) is a very potential target market. Third, the best rule is to buy products from departments 2 and 3 (Confidence 60%, Support 12%). From these results, the right marketing strategy is to create a buy 1 get 1 promo banner or label for products that are rarely purchased, such as household appliances. Then, create a catalog by bringing together frequently purchased products such as spices and food ingredients. Finally, improve the layout by bringing the departmental shelves closer to frequently purchased products.

Investigations to determine whether program perceived value could influence program satisfaction, program card loyalty and store loyalty are critical to elucidate the roles and significance of the constructs and advancing management practice. Accordingly, in line with this research direction, this study aims to assess the effects of program perceived value offered by few leading retail superstores and departmental stores in Malaysia on its members’ loyalty towards the store. The data set utilized in this study has been obtained via quota sampling technique, where a sample of 153 retail loyalty programs’ members was analyzed. An integrative conceptual model was developed and tested using Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS program. The results exemplify that program perceived value is a strong driver of program satisfaction and program card loyalty. Unexpectedly, program perceived value is not a significant predictor of store loyalty but, it has an indirect effect on store loyalty mediated by program satisfaction. Continuous plea in marketing management is to make marketing instruments more efficient. In recent years introduction of customer relationship marketing instruments is strongly advocated, both in marketing theory and practice. Several researchers (e.g., Berry 1983; Berry and Parasuraman 1991; and Gronroos, 1994) have changed the focus of a marketing orientation from attracting short-term, discrete transactional customers to retaining long-lasting, intimate customer relationships. In fact Roberts, Varki, Brodie (2003), further suggested that it is best to describe relationship marketing as the formation of “bonds” between the company and the customer. Achieving an effective relationship in a consumer context is considered to be even more challenging than it is in a business-to-business context, given the generally more polygamous character of consumers as opposed to business customers (Keng and Ehrenberger 1984; Pressey and Matthews 1998).

AbstractThis current research endeavors to study important factors having significant impact on consumer’s choice of beverages in Punjab province of Pakistan. Beverages in two major categories of ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ have been studied to examine consumer consumption pattern. Data has been collected through interview from 80 respondents belonging to two major cities of Punjab, i.e. Lahore and Faisalabad, by incorporating stratified random sampling technique. These two cities of Punjab were selected because of big departmental stores opening like Metro Cash and Carry store, Al-Fateh and others. A pre tested and well-arranged questionnaire was used for data gathering from respondents. To estimate the outcome of factors affecting choices of consumers (demand function), multivariate analysis was incorporated. Results of this research showed that consumption pattern of cold beverages was affected significantly by consumer income, cold beverages prices, city selected for survey and number of adolescents in a family, whereas factors which affected the consumption of hot beverages were food expenditure, living area, marital status, income, working persons in a family, family size. Due to availability of copious brands of beverages, consumption is escalating with the passage of time and consumers are eager to pay but owing to high rates they are not relishing full taste of beverages. So, local industry should produce cost effective and quality drinks to enhance usage.

The article reviews creation of the departmental archive of the National Commissariat of the Navy (1937) and its functioning to this day. ‘The Statute of the Branch of the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (Archive of Navy)’ was adopted on February 20, 2013. According to this document the Archive of Navy became a subdivision of the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense, deployed separately and functioning independently. The departmental archive began its acquisition in September 1940. Satisfactory execution of functions by Archive was impeded by multiple changes in the structure of the Directorate of the Peoples’ Commissariat of the Navy, which complicated processing of documents entering the storage. Tasks of the Archive were reduced to the following: to control files condition and document destruction; to compile lists of documents with terms of their storage; to inspect the state of archiving in the Navy; to advise archives and records management offices of central directorates (departments) of the Peoples’ Commissariat of the Navy on formation and registration of files and their transfer to archive; to enter documents of the central directorates (departments) on storage; to track and safeguard documents. On the eve the Great Patriotic War transfer of document from fleet, flotillas, and naval bases was in its initial stage. The first months of the Great Patriotic War prompted evacuation of archival fonds from Moscow to Ulyanovsk (August 1941). By January 1945 these numbered 26550 files and 1234 bags of unsorted documents. At the end of war the Archive was relocated from Ulyanovsk to Leningrad, and then to Kronstadt (1947). In 1950s the Archive continued moving to new places — to Pushkin, to Leningrad, to Gatchina (1961). The fonds of the Archive store unique documents of the Peoples’ Commissariat and Ministry of the Navy, governing bodies under the Commander-In-Chief of the Navy, research establishments, Navy schools, river flotillas, materials on ships and submarines, air force, marines, coastal and anti-aircraft defense, rear, hydrographic, medical and sanitary, and other services. Of great interest for researchers are documents of the General Staff of the Navy.

In healthcare, interoperability is widely adopted in the case of cross-departmental or specialization cases. As the human body demands multiple specialized and cross-disciplined medical experiments, interoperability of business entities like different departments, different specializations, the involvement of legal and government monitoring issues etc. are not sufficient to reduce the active medical cases. A patient-centric system with high capability to collect, retrieve, store or exchange data is the demand for present and future times. Such data-centric health processes would bring automated patient medication, or patient self-driven trusted and high satisfaction capabilities. However, data-centric processes are having a huge set of challenges such as security, technology, governance, adoption, deployment, integration etc. This work has explored the feasibility to integrate resource-constrained devices-based wearable kidney systems in the Industry 4.0 network and facilitates data collection, liquidity, storage, retrieval and exchange systems. Thereafter, a Healthcare 4.0 processes-based wearable kidney system is proposed that is having the blockchain technology advantages. Further, game theory-based consensus algorithms are proposed for resource-constrained devices in the kidney system. The overall system design would bring an example for the transition from the specialization or departmental-centric approach to data and patient-centric approach that would bring more transparency, trust and healthy practices in the healthcare sector. Results show a variation of 0.10 million GH/s to 0.18 million GH/s hash rate for the proposed approach. The chances of a majority attack in the proposed scheme are statistically proved to be minimum. Further Average Packet Delivery Rate (ADPR) lies between 95% to 97%, approximately, without the presence of outliers. In the presence of outliers, network performance decreases below 80% APDR (to a minimum of 41.3%) and this indicates that there are outliers present in the network.

Abstract Context.—There are numerous customers for pathology departmental Web sites, including pathology department staff, clinical staff, residency applicants, job seekers, and other individuals outside the department seeking department information. Despite the increasing importance of departmental Web sites as a means of distributing information, no analysis has been done to date of the content and usage of pathology department Web sites. Objective.—In this study, we analyzed pathology department Web sites to examine the elements present on each site and to evaluate the use of search technology on these sites. Further, we examined the usage patterns of our own departmental Internet and intranet Web sites to better understand the users of pathology Web sites. Design.—We reviewed selected departmental pathology Web sites and analyzed their content and functionality. Our institution's departmental pathology Web sites were modified to enable detailed information to be stored regarding users and usage patterns, and that information was analyzed. Results.—We demonstrate considerable heterogeneity in departmental Web sites with many sites lacking basic content and search features. In addition, we demonstrate that increasing the traffic of a department's informational Web sites may result in reduced phone inquiries to the laboratory. We propose recommendations for pathology department Web sites to maximize promotion of a department's mission. Conclusions.—A departmental pathology Web site is an essential communication tool for all pathology departments, and attention to the users and content of the site can have operational impact.

Full textAbstract:
Traditionally, marketing has focused on acquiring customers and gaining market share rather than on retaining existing customers. With increasing competition, there is a need for developing more sophisticated activities in order to retain the existing customers. Consequently, loyalty programmes (LPs) are being employed as a strategic business goal in order to gain customers’ loyalty. In this research, the main aim is to find whether these LPs affect customers’ loyalty towards the retailer by closely analyzing the loyalty card members of a leading Indian departmental store in Delhi. Quantitative research (regression and correlation) was conducted in the form of a questionnaire to test a model whereby the effect of value perception of the LP is tested on programme loyalty and the effect of programme loyalty is then tested on brand and store loyalty that together make the consumer a loyal customer. A total of 120 questionnaires were collected and the findings reveal that LPs do affect customers’ loyalty towards the retailer but they are not the sole factor in a customer’s loyalty development. The study is unique as it confirms the customers’ loyalty towards a retailer taking into account both attitudinal and behavioural aspects of loyalty. Apart from testing the model, other elements such as habit, convenience, offers, incentives and reputation are tested as well. Results of the study ascertain that customers focus heavily on the variety of offers, incentives and habit as other reasons for developing customer loyalty. Thus, LPs work for companies but they have to take the whole package into consideration.

Abstract As the white slavery scare peaked in the United States in the early 1910s, department stores consistently figured among the most menacing sites mentioned by muckrakers for corrupting women’s morals. Worried about the reputation of departments stores in general and Macy’s in particular, the Straus brothers commissioned an anti-vice association, the Committee of Fourteen, to investigate why shopgirls might “go wrong.” Three women went undercover at Macy’s and reported on their experiences as department store employees. Their collected reports exposed the micropolitics of power that made some departments difficult places for women to work. This article alternates between general discussions of department stores and their workplace culture and specific case studies detailing how two male managers abused their power and the limited ways in which women could respond.

This study first examines the current status of imported luxury brands, which account for an absolute portion of sales in department stores due to their continuous growth, and based on this, attempts to identify differences in preference for each imported luxury brands that currently occupy a major position in department stores. Second, the effect of preference for imported luxury brands in department stores on the evaluation of store attributes of department stores, and finally, the effect on store loyalty. This is to investigate the practical effects of imported luxury brands that department stores fully concentrate to introduce on department stores. In addition, by examining the influence of each imported luxury brands in department stores, so far, only the size of sales or efficiency. We would like to suggest a new method for the specific contribution to imported luxury brands that have been evaluated. Through this, we intend to suggest a rational strategy for the indiscriminate competition for imported luxury brands in domestic department stores and help set priorities for brand introduction.
The research study collected 170 responses from May 15 to June 12, 2022, and conducted SPSS v. The data collected through the 21.0 statistics package program were statistically processed.
Research Results: First, among imported luxury brands in major department stores in Korea, the most preferred by consumers were Hermes, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Gucci…. appeared in order. Second, the preference of imported luxury brands for all survey subjects had a positive effect on the evaluation of store attributes and loyalty to department stores. Third, imported luxury brands in department stores had a positive influence on the evaluation of department store attributes. As a result, it was confirmed that the higher the store attribute evaluation according to the imported luxury brand make the higher the loyalty to the department store. Currently, when introducing imported luxury brands in department stores, it suggests a strategy that can consider priorities according to consumer preferences, and at the same time suggests that imported luxury brands are an important factor in enhancing department store attributes and loyalty to department stores.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This work empirically evaluates the effectiveness of the novel ontology-based access-control mechanism and the common password-protected access-control mechanism for social blogs. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – The ontology-based access-control scheme is designed to fit two characteristics of blog activities: social relationships and tags. A laboratory experiment is conducted to assess the perceived privacy benefit and perceived ease of use of the two mechanisms. Findings – Analytical results indicate that, with the ontology-based access-control scheme, users perceive more privacy benefit than with the password-protected access-control scheme. The perceived ease of use with the ontology-based and password-protected access-control systems did not differ significantly. Research limitations/implications – Cross-boundary collaborations need an appropriate approach to control communication access. Further study is required to evaluate the ontology-based access-control scheme applied in cross-organizational and cross-departmental collaborations. Practical implications – From a knowledge management perspective, blogs can store personal and organizational knowledge and experiences. The ontology-based access-control scheme encourages knowledge sharing for appropriate persons. Originality/value – The new ontology-based access-control mechanism can help online users keep secrets from selected people to gain more privacy benefits than the existing password-protected access-control mechanism.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, fashion department stores have struggled to sustain their foothold in the competitive market due to changing consumer behavior as well as technological advancement. This study aimed to examine customers’ perspectives on the shopping channels of omnichannel fashion department stores. The analysis was based on data from 552 customers who shopped at U.S. omnichannel fashion department stores. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were utilized to analyze the hypothesized relationship. The results showed that brand attitude mediated the influence of perceived fluency of customers’ purchase intentions in the omnichannel fashion department store setting. Content consistency and process consistency also positively affected customers’ perceived fluency of the channels of those fashion department stores. Customers are more likely to purchase from a fashion department store that provides consistent content and processes across the multiple shopping channels from which they can purchase merchandise. Further, customers value consistency of the content and processes across all fashion department store channels. The results are insightful especially for industry practitioners, as it enables them to develop a sustainable omnichannel business strategy by focusing on the depth of the channels and channel consistencies (content and process) while improving customers’ purchase intention from their stores.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The newborn immune system is considered underdeveloped and ill-equipped to defend itself against many pathogens. Indeed, infection is the leading cause of hospitalization and death for infants under 6 months. Relative to the adult immune system, little is known about infant immunity or the signals that orchestrate immunologic maturation. The constraints of human research and the use of sterile animal models limit advancements in this area. Commonly used animal models are raised in “specific pathogen free” (SPF) conditions to minimize the confounding effects of diverse microbial exposure. We sought to understand the physiologic effects of exposure to those diverse microbes on infant immune development. We co-housed laboratory mice with pet store mice from conception to expose them to diverse microbial flora. Microbial exposure led to a dramatic shift in immune cell composition with increases in the proportion of T cell memory, helper T cell subsets, macrophages, and neutrophils, as well as general increases in the number of most immune cell subsets as early as 2 weeks of age. The gap between the microbially-exposed mice and SPF mice continued to widen at 3 and 6 weeks of age. We also observed increased TNFα, IL-6, IL-5, IL-17, and RANTES expression at 3 weeks of age. By 6 weeks most of the cytokines/chemokines tested where increased. These observations demonstrate that exposure to diverse microbial flora during early life dramatically alters the trajectory of the developing immune system. A better understanding of how healthy immune systems develop, and the risks and benefits of modulating infant immunity could lead to important advancements in treatments for early life infection and novel infant vaccination approaches.

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of physical and social retail store environment, referred to as “storescape”, retail store attachment and employee citizenship behaviour towards customers on customer citizenship behaviour.Design/methodology/approachThe research employed a descriptive quantitative, cross-sectional design with a self-administered survey. Data were collected through an online research panel provider from 415 customers of department and discount department stores in Australia.FindingsThe findings show social storescape predicts customer citizenship behaviour directly, and that store attachment mediates the effect of both physical and social storescape on this behaviour. Employee citizenship behaviour towards customers was found to moderate the effect of storescape on customer citizenship behaviour. In addition, the effect of both positive physical and social storescape was found to be greater in discount department stores than department stores.Practical implicationsIn addition to highlighting the factors that drive customer citizenship behaviour, the study shows that storescape factors and their effect vary for department stores versus discount department stores.Originality/valueThis study shows the effect of storescape on customer citizenship behaviour. Drawing on resource exchange theory, this study is the first-known to identify storescape as both physical and social resources which can influence retail store attachment and customer citizenship behaviour. The study provides new insights into the differential effect of storescape in department versus discount department stores in motivating customers to engage in citizenship behaviour. Further, the study makes an important contribution by demonstrating the moderating role of employee citizenship behaviour towards customers.

The purpose of this study is to find out the difference in the service fairness, customer’s participation behavior, relationship quality and relationship performance perceived by consumer according to the type of clothing store (department store versus Dongdaemun Fashion Town). The subjects of the research were men and women in their 20s and 30s who were residing in Seoul and Gyeonggi-do and who had the experience of purchasing clothing product at department store or Dongdaemun Fashion Town. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey, and a total of 424 questionnaires were used for final analysis: 213 questionnaires from the consumers who used department store, plus 211 questionnaires from those who used Dongdaemun Fashion Town. The result of this research showed that there was significant difference in all of service fairness (procedure and outcome), customer’s participation behavior (emotional participation, information participation and physical participation), relationship quality (satisfaction and trust) and relationship performance (repurchase intention, and positive word-of-mouth) perceived by consumer, according to the type of clothing store (clothing stores in department store versus Dongdaemun Fashion Town). Especially, the consumers who used the clothing stores in department store showed better perception of all the service fairness, customer’s participation behavior, relationship quality and relationship outcome. It is considered, therefore, that clothing enterprises need to establish differentiated service strategy for consumer, through the improvement of store environment and the education of salesperson that can induce more comforTable and active purchasing activity of consumers who visit store.

Research studies were conducted in three types of retail stores: supermarkets, discount stores, and department stores. The purpose of these studies was to determine how cashiers and associates spend their time servicing customers, the inter-relationships between physical and cognitive workloads, and how these affect system performance. A detailed task analysis of the cashier's activities comparing performances in these stores was completed. Commonalties and differences in task performances were identified and measured. Task performances were grouped into one of three types: physical, POS, and management. The results showed that physical tasks were performed 39% of the total hour in a supermarket, 57% in the discount store, and 25% in the department store. Physical tasks are those most often identified in ergonomic research. Management tasks were more frequent in the department store; these tasks captured redundant information, i.e. tender approval identification that was already available in system files. These results provide a map for identifying and applying macroergonomic research techniques to integrate POS systems with new features into the retail industry.

Purpose: Retail industry currently in Indonesia is less profitable. However, there is still a retail stores chain group that Matahari endures and this is absolutely not autonomous purchasing by the customers. The objective of the study is to identify the qualities of stores and to assess their impacts on the consumer purchasing decision. This is most significant for sellers in today's unstable market and is worried about sellers' essential to take into account the effect of selling store image and its relation to purchaser reliability.
Methodology: The used method in the research is casual research method. Data is analysing through descriptive analysis method and multiple linear regression. The data is processed through SPSS software.
Main Findings: Based on interviews conducted by respondents, one of the store brands in Matahari's department store is the Executive, which is a store brand that sells clothes, and trousers with expensive price, so if the customer uses the brand product Executive, they will feel proud. Because the customer has a good view of the product of the Executive brand, and the Executive product is sold in Matahari department store, the customer's assessment of the department store of the Matahari becomes good.
Implications/Applications: The results of the research can be used by Matahari department store in developing their marketing strategies in order to promote brand image.

Full textAbstract:
Department stores emerged as central institutions in the expansion of the consumer culture in the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and music played an unusually prominent and varied role in these new palaces of consumption. Over the half century from 1880 to 1930 a wide range of music was presented in the stores, including elegant evening concerts conducted by such luminaries as Richard Strauss and Leopold Stokowski, afternoon programs given by professional and amateur musicians in large in-store concert halls, performances by choruses and bands made up of store employees, background music played by pianists or string quartets, and phonograph demonstrations. Trade papers published for department store retailers reveal the marketing strategies that largely motivated this impressive patronage of music. Music's range of cultural associations worked to the retailers' advantage by investing the stores with excitement and drama, by imbuing commonplace goods with luxury and status, and by encouraging leisurely shopping among women. The commercial setting, in turn, left indellible marks on the music: in the length of concert programs, in the types of works commissioned by the stores, in the mixing of popular and classical repertories, and in the reduction of music to a commodity. The department stores proved a crucial testing ground for the widescale commercialization of music in twentieth-century America.

In the article, the features of department stores as trade establishments in Soviet Ukraine in 1920-1930s are examined. Department store is investigated as a unique space of urban consumption. It got the special place in ideology and propaganda and “fixed the victories and advantages of Soviet cultural trade”, the democratization of consumption. Department stores were to become a model of successful Soviet trade management and marketing.
In urban space, department stores became the symbol of novelty, sufficiency and example for other trade institutions. Special attention is given to the transition in public discourse the image from “customer” to “consumer” during 1920-1930s. The innovativeness of univermags let to the use of modern tendencies in the arrangement of space, in particular, window displays and counters.
It has been analyzed how department stores were equipped according to the last requirements of time with the help of mechanical devices and refrigeration units.
The experience existence of universal type institutions was not as unique as it was in line with the world tendencies of trade modernization. But by borrowing and transforming the idea of universal trade into Soviet realities, the Bolshevik authorities gave it new meaning. In the Ukrainian department stores at that time a new commercial space was planned for the premises, showcases and counters were equipped, but despite these innovations, the shortage of goods, queues and state control of the market continued to remain. It has been concluded that state department stores could have become a model of successful Soviet management and marketing in the field of trade. Nevertheless, it was not enough to create a properly equipped store space, because consumer and department store was dependent on the ideological and economic policies of Soviet authorities.
At the same time, the opening of department stores became a new stage in the development of Soviet trade, where the consumer could have become the main actor of these processes. However, in spite of this fact, during 1920-1930s a “new Soviet consumer” with its culture and consumption practices was created.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past decade a number of scholars have examined the rise of the mass production and distribution of goods, and the concurrent emergence of a nineteenth- and twentieth-century consumer society or ‘culture of consumption’. This body of work has featured the department store prominently in several roles: as a venue for the distribution of consumer goods; as a material fantasyland in which women were encouraged to play out their dreams of conspicuous consumption; and as a place of white-collar employment for working-class clerks. Whatever their focus, these accounts generally view all department stores as homogeneous middle-class institutions, located in a similarly consistent ‘downtown’ in any (and all) large American and European cities. There are serious flaws in such a portrayal. Very real distinctions between department stores in a given city and the social implications of these differences in terms of social status and class are not addressed. Further, the contribution of the built environment and urban topography to the shaping of these status and class distinctions and, ultimately, women's shopping experience, is likewise overlooked. This article examines a set of surveys and marketing reports prepared in 1932 for the Higbee Company of Cleveland, Ohio, in order to situate more precisely one department store within its urban context. These sources document the relationship of the Higbee Company to the city's other department stores and in so doing reveal some of the ways in which stratification between and among classes was interpreted in terms of geographical and social space. Examination of the hierarchy of stores that existed in what was at the time the nation's sixth largest city provides a corrective to the image of the department store as a homogeneous democratic phenomenon, and thus provides an invaluable basis for a reinterpretation of the department store as an urban institution in early twentieth- century America.

AbstractShopping forms a part of tourism activity. It can be the main motivation to travel (shopping tourism), or a parallel tourist action (tourism shopping). Existing literature explores the attributes of products that tourists look for, as souvenirs. However, department stores are increasingly prominent on tour itineraries and promoted by tour guides, exploring the trend of purchasing luxury goods in tourism experience. This study identifies the profile and motivations of tourists to shop in department stores, whose main products refer to global luxury brands and do not show the authenticity of the destination.The research was developed in the department store El Corte Inglés Gaia, the only department store in the Porto destination. A survey was applied in the store during four days to 210 tourists who contacted the tourism office of the store. The results show that purchasing is not the main motivation for travelling, but it is an important activity. The department store is chosen for tourism shopping because of the quality and variety of products and services, personal selling and the advantages of tax refund for non-residents in the European Union. The paper contributes with the idea that shopping should be seen as an important activity in tourism and retailers should enhance the provision of differentiated services and experiences rather than just the authenticity of local products.

Abstract: Construction projects execution has changed drastically more from last decades. In execution of project there are many departments working for successful project execution. These all departments need to cope up with the changes occurring in industry. One of the departments helping for execution of project is store. To execute project successfully store department role is very important. In traditional system, store is only considered as the storage place. Small or medium scale construction organization does not use the store as effective department for in time project delivery. Store management can support to Just in time concept and helpful for inventory control and in time project completion. Store management increases the efficiency of work and helps for smooth working. It is observed that the activity going on site are delayed majorly due to unavailability of material. Poor store management leads to purchase of material with high rate as emergency from local vendors to avoid delay. Sometimes the material within the stor due to poor store management gets wasted and to lead cost for project. This paper is to study effective store management which helps to JIT approach causing minimum inventory cost and wastage of material.

In the late nineteenth century, San Francisco was booming and its merchant princes built grand stores such as City of Paris, Gump’s, The White House, I. Magnin, and The Emporium in the Union Square area. These stores were integral to the city’s emergence as a world-class commercial hub, starting with the mad scramble for supplies during the gold rush, and its transformation into a tourist mecca in the decades after World War II. This article looks at three of those retail enterprises: City of Paris, which satisfied desires for anything French; the I. Magnin empire, which catered to a selective upper-class clientele; and the Emporium department store, aimed at the middle class with its Bargain Basement and Santa for the kids.

"Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-Authorized Grocery, Convenience, Dollar, and Restaurant or Delivery Service Settings Are Associated With Increased Obesity Prevalence in Virginia."

Purpose: United States Department of Agriculture Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants use SNAP-authorized stores for dietary purchases. Relationships between obesity prevalence and access to grocery and varied nontraditional (eg, dollar, drug, and convenience) SNAP settings are underexplored. This research aimed to determine the association of a full range of SNAP-authorized stores with obesity prevalence in Virginia. Design: The SNAP Retailer Locator was used to cross-sectionally identify authorized stores, and county health ranking information was applied based on store location. Setting: Virginia, United States. Sample: The SNAP-authorized stores, classified among store categories: grocery or supermarket; drug; mass merchandiser; supercenter; convenience; dollar; club; other; nonfood store; farmers markets; and independent grocery stores. Measures: County-level obesity prevalence with income and rurality as potential confounders. Analysis: Multiple linear regression was used to determine associations between county-level adult obesity prevalence and available SNAP-authorized store formats ( P < .05 a priori). Results: Store format was a predictor of obesity prevalence in Virginia in simple and adjusted models ( R 2 = 0.035, P < .0001 and R 2 = 0.434, P < .0001, respectively). Grocery store or supermarket access was associated with obesity. The SNAP-authorized convenience, dollar, and nonfood stores were associated with a 0.3, 0.5, and 1.3 increase in county obesity prevalence, respectively ( P < .05). Conclusions: Research, practice, and health policy approaches to improve grocery, convenience, dollar, and restaurant or delivery service settings may favorably influence community obesity prevalence in Virginia.

Full textAbstract:
Drawing on Professor William Labov’s seminal 1962 experiment, this paper examines tonal variation amongst employees of department stores targeting three different socioeconomic classes in Dalian, China. The experiment recorded pronunciations of the tone of yī (the word “first” in the phrase “first floor” 一楼), which is pronounced in first tone in standard Mandarin and shifted to the third tone in Dalian dialect. In this experiment, it was hypothesized that for the four department stores studied, an employee’s tone in pronunciation of first tone words would shift towards the third tone the most in the store catering to lower socioeconomic classes and shift the least in the store catering to higher socioeconomic classes. From analyzing the data collected, the non-first tone pronunciations were the most frequent in the lowest ranking store and less frequent in the higher ranking store. Therefore, the salespersons’ tonal shift in pronunciation is shown to correlate with the socioeconomic class of the customers being targeted.

Abstract Food waste is a global problem with 5% of the European Union's (EU's) retail sector responsible. The reasons cited for food waste at retail level among others: undesirable customer behaviour, inadequate packaging, irregular demand, overestimated deliveries, small store area and warehouse space, inappropriate replenishment policies in shops and increased product quality requirements. The requirement to keep shelves full in stores and inappropriate storage logistics lead to overstocking of products, the arrangement of which disregards the first in-first out (FIFO) principle. It contributes to the amplification of food take-offs and may lead to the occurrence of products with exceeded use-by dates, which is the most common cause of food wastage [Federacja Polskich Banków Żywności 2020]. The aim of the study was to evaluate the functioning of the FIFO system in specialist stores, discount stores and large-format stores that have organic food on offer. To evaluate the FIFO system, unannounced inspections were conducted in the stores. During the inspections, errors in the arrangement of products according to the FIFO system were detected. The items found to be out of order were both long and short-dated products, stored in refrigerated as well as on regular shelves, indicating that stores have a problem with storage logistics in all departments. Improving solutions and implementing appropriate measures in this area could reduce food wastage at the retail level.
