Abstract:
Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit last year, countries locked their borders. Thus, international shipping deteriorates drastically. Simultaneously, social distancing increased the need for immediate online consumption and fast home delivery. In the non-digital world, products still need to be shipped to their destination using trucks, trains, airplanes, and ships. Simultaneously, requirements for volumes of goods, transport costs, external limiting factors, etc., must be precisely defined. The article aims to find the optimal location selection solution based on the created mathematical model of the Modified Steiner-Weber Problem with restrictive conditions. The model allows for the central warehouse's optimal location and minimizes distribution costs from the central warehouse to sub-warehouses/branches located in individual EU countries. The mathematical model has been applied to a case study of a selected e-commerce dealing, which has established branches in capital cities but does not have an established central warehouse. Systematization of literature sources and approaches to solving the problem of e-commerce distribution center location showed that 86% of the studied companies plan to use on-demand warehousing in the next three to five years. Therefore, the need for warehousing would be preserved. The authors noted that they do not necessarily need to have it in-house. Consequently, fulfillment centers and warehouses would likely continue to be a significant component in the future logistics system. This research would like to stress how important the management of the effective optimization of e-commerce distribution center location is and how to achieve it. The success of Amazon in the US, Europe, and Alibaba in China has genuinely redefined consumer expectations. With the emergence of services like Amazon Prime, consumers now expect same-day delivery. The solution enabling this evolution has been a mix of manufacturing where the production costs are optimal, just-in-time shipping, highly automated fulfillment centers, and mobile connectivity growth. The proposed model results showed that the best location for a central location and storage center concerning the e-commerce environment, including minimum annual transport costs, is near Bristol in the United Kingdom. Eighty-six percent of the companies in the study plan to use on-demand warehousing in the next three to five years, and the solution enabling this evolution has been a combination of manufacturing where the production costs are optimal, just-in-time shipping, highly automated fulfillment centers, and, to a growing extent, mobile connectivity.

Abstract:
E-commerce has become an important marketing channel with the increasing usage of internet by customers. Companies use both physical intermediaries and online distribution channels for selling their products and services. The study discusses about pure-click companies which sell products online and about brick-and-click companies which sell products both online and through intermediaries. The study focuses on m-commerce which is becoming an important distribution channel and preferred mode of transaction with the increasing usage of smart phones. Companies practicing e-commerce and m-commerce adopt a number of strategies to delight their customers and these strategies are discussed. Both e-commerce and m-commerce have a number of privacy and security issues. Companies should be aware of these issues and formulate measures to ensure privacy and security of information shared by customers. All these will help companies in adopting e-commerce and m-commerce, delighting their customers, building long-term relationships, and in achieving business excellence.

Abstract:
With the advent of big data era and rapid development of Internet technology, e-commerce has had a strong development tendency that causes many problems, such as redundant and complex business processes, low efficiency and a high cost for e-commerce logistics in the distribution sector. It is not difficult to conclude that the key to improving logistics distribution efficiency—and reduce logistics distribution costs—is to optimize logistics distribution under big data. In this study, the management model, influence factors and development status of B2C e-commerce logistics distribution under big data are analyzed in detail. Then big data processing, business process and route optimization strategies for B2C e-commerce logistics distribution under big data are deeply studied. Furthermore, an optimization model of product sales and logistics distribution of B2C e-commerce by big data platform is discussed in order to propose an innovative optimization strategy for B2C e-commerce logistics distribution under big data. Big data technology is applied in B2C e-commerce logistics business management, which is studied in detail. These findings achieve the optimal distribution of B2C e-commerce, reduce the B2C e-commerce logistics distribution cost and improve the B2C e-commerce logistics distribution efficiency under big data. In addition, enhanced competitiveness of B2C e-commerce logistics distribution is examined in this study. This study provides a reference for follow-up big data studies in the field of e-commerce.

Abstract:
Studies on the firm's size distribution (FSD) can set a good foundation to know about the growth path and mechanism of e-commerce firms. The purpose of this paper is to understand features of the China's listed e-commerce firms by testing Gibrat's law and Zipf's law within the Internet sectors. From a macroscopic perspective, with the approach of OLS estimation, Zipf's coefficient of the FSD is calculated to test whether Zipf's law holds. From a microscopic perspective, the relationship between e-commerce firm size and growth is explored by quantile regression method. The results indicate that from 2005 to 2014, Zipf's law cannot be rejected, with the relationship changing over time, Gibrat's law holds partly. It implies that competition status among China's e-commerce firms becomes more stable.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to re-examine the extant research on last-mile logistics (LML) models and consider LML’s diverse roots in city logistics, home delivery and business-to-consumer distribution, and more recent developments within the e-commerce digital supply chain context. The review offers a structured approach to what is currently a disparate and fractured field in logistics. Design/methodology/approach The systematic literature review examines the interface between e-commerce and LML. Following a protocol-driven methodology, combined with a “snowballing” technique, a total of 47 articles form the basis of the review. Findings The literature analysis conceptualises the relationship between a broad set of contingency variables and operational characteristics of LML configuration (push-centric, pull-centric, and hybrid system) via a set of structural variables, which are captured in the form of a design framework. The authors propose four future research areas reflecting likely digital supply chain evolutions. Research limitations/implications To circumvent subjective selection of articles for inclusion, all papers were assessed independently by two researchers and counterchecked with two independent logistics experts. Resulting classifications inform the development of future LML models. Practical implications The design framework of this study provides practitioners insights on key contingency and structural variables and their interrelationships, as well as viable configuration options within given boundary conditions. The reformulated knowledge allows these prescriptive models to inform practitioners in their design of last-mile distribution. Social implications Improved LML performance would have positive societal impacts in terms of service and resource efficiency. Originality/value This paper provides the first comprehensive review on LML models in the modern e-commerce context. It synthesises knowledge of LML models and provides insights on current trends and future research directions.

Abstract:
By the development of era, there's increasing someone's mindset to create an innovation, which one is the promotion is right on the target. Nowadays, performer of e-commerce apply some promotion to get the market. e-commerce's competing eachother to create an inovation by promotion, for maintain the market and increase the users. There is various kinds of online promotions available on today, but the effectiveness of online promotions is not yet known to be applied by e-commerce. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of online promotions. The research uses the EPIC Model Test which has 4 dimensions, namely empathy, persuasion, impact and communication. This study uses non-probability sampling because the population does not allow members of the population to have the same opportunity to be selected as a sample. This study also uses data collection techniques by distributing questionnaires. Through the distribution of questionnaires to 426 respondents in Indonesia who use e-commerce. The results was found that the Empathy of dimension is a very effective way for online e-commerce promotion. Followed by the Persuasion dimension, the Impact dimension and the Communications dimension. Overall results according to all four dimensions show that online promotion is effective in the e-commerce industry. Keywords : E-Commerce, Online Promotion, EPIC Model

To meet increasing consumer expectations around delivery times, ecommerce retailers must take orders from 'click' to 'ship' as soon as possible. For retailers with tens of thousands of stock keeping units (SKUs), item picking is often the slowest step in the distribution center (DC) fulfillment process due to time taken for pickers to move between item locations. Pick paths are dictated by item slotting, the process of assigning SKUs to locations within the pick area, and therefore slotting improvements increase pick rate. This decreases the time taken to pick orders allowing more orders to be fulfilled in a given time period and increasing fulfillment capacity. This thesis presents a method for increasing pick efficiency through improved slotting strategy. This is achieved through placement of high velocity SKUs close to the outbound path resulting in a reduction in picker distance travelled, and on mid-level shelves where they are more ergonomical to pick. The impact of slotting strategies was compared through a simulation model. Simulations with historical data indicated a potential 5.2-10.8% increase in fulfilled units over a given time period.

Abstract:
La croissance des chiffres d’affaires issus de la vente en ligne de produits physiques témoigne de l’intérêt des fournisseurs pour l’adoption du e-commerce B2C comme un canal de distribution alternatif à la vente au détail classique. Les retombées positives du B2C sont prônées tant bien au niveau de la littérature scientifique qu’au niveau de la pratique. En effet, l’utilisation des magasins virtuels ayant substitué l’exploitation des magasins conventionnels permet aux e-fournisseurs d’atteindre un large éventail géographique d’une clientèle accessible par Internet. Du côté des consommateurs, l’accessibilité aux produits à tout moment et la livraison à domicile améliorent leur expérience de magasinage, notamment des économies en temps et de carburant. Cette vision commune des retombées de la distribution B2C ne considère que «la face apparente de l’iceberg», confinée à la prise de commande et au dernier kilomètre de livraison. Dans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons à investiguer les impacts de la distribution e-commerce sur une étendue plus large qui englobe le système complet de distribution du e-fournisseur. En effet la complexité de son contexte opérationnel multi-acteur met en épreuve sa capacité à gérer ses opérations de distribution de manière durable, tout en assurant des délais de livraison de plus en plus courts à ses e-consommateurs. D’autant plus, les systèmes de distribution B2C héritent des symptômes d’inefficience observés dans l’environnement logistique actuel. Par ailleurs, le concept de distribution hyperconnectée habilitée par l’Internet Physique (PI ou π) présente une alternative candidate qui à priori permettrait aux e-fournisseurs d’améliorer leurs performances par rapport aux approches actuelles de la gestion de la distribution B2C. Cette thèse développe une étude exploratoire des impacts de l’utilisation de la distribution hyperconnectée habilitée par π sur le potentiel durable de e-fournisseurs, en comparaison avec les options de distribution B2C actuelles. Pour ce faire, des études de cas à base de simulations multiagents ont été développées pour la modélisation de scénarios de distribution d’un e-fournisseur, inspirés des données réelles de notre partenaire industriel Industries de la Rive Sud. L’utilisation d’indicateurs clés de performance nous a permis d’évaluer progressivement les performances du e-fournisseur dans des scénarios portant d’abord sur l’approche de distribution drop-ship. Ensuite nous avons évalué une approche dynamique de déploiement distribué de B2C dans le contexte logistique actuel puis dans un contexte habilité par π. Cette thèse contribue en premier lieu à combler la faille théorique qui existe entre la recherche et la pratique en termes de modélisation des systèmes de distribution B2C intégrée. La deuxième contribution est le développement d’un modèle conceptuel multi-agent générique pour la simulation de scénarios de distribution B2C. La troisième contribution est la proposition d’une approche de consolidation intégrée qui permet aux e-fournisseurs d’améliorer leurs performances tout en réduisant de manière globale les délais de livraison des commandes des e-consommateurs dans le cadre d’une approche de distribution drop-ship. La quatrième contribution est la proposition d’un modèle dynamique d’équilibrage des inventaires dans le réseau de distribution d’un e-fournisseur. La dernière contribution confirme par expériences de simulation qu’une distribution hyperconnectée habilitée par PI permet de renforcer le potentiel durable des e-fournisseurs.
The growth of online sales of physical products demonstrates the interest of suppliers for the adoption of B2C e-commerce as an alternative distribution channel to the conventional retail channel. The benefits of B2C are promoted not only by the scientific literature but also by practically grounded professional literature. In fact, Web stores complemented conventional Brick-and-Mortar retail shops, allowing e-vendors to access a wide geographical range of e-consumers through the Internet. On the consumer side, accessing products at any time and home delivery enhance their shopping experience, notably through time and fuel savings. This common vision of B2C distribution benefits considers only «the visible face of the iceberg», confined to the ordering process and the last-mile delivery. In this thesis, we are interested in investigating the impacts of e-commerce distribution over a larger scope that encompasses the entire distribution system of e-vendors. In fact, the complexity of their multi-actor operational environment challenges their ability to manage their distribution operations in a sustainable way, while ensuring ever quicker deliveries to their e-consumers. Moreover, B2C distribution systems inherit the inefficiency symptoms observed through the current logistics environment. Besides, the concept of the Physical Internet (PI or π) enabled hyperconnected distribution is a priori a candidate alternative that allows e-vendors to improve their performance, in contrast with current B2C distribution approaches. Through an exploratory study, this thesis investigates the impacts of a PI-enabled hyperconnected distribution on the sustainable potential of e-vendors, in contrast with current B2C distribution options. To this end, case studies based on multi-agent simulations were developed for modeling e-vendor distribution scenarios, inspired by actual data from our industrial partner South Shore Industries. Through the use of key performance indicators (KPIs), we gradually assessed e-vendor performance starting from the drop-ship distribution approach. Then, we assessed a dynamic B2C deployment approach in the current logistics environment then in a PI-enabled context. The first contribution of this thesis is to close the theoretical gap between research and practice in terms of modeling integrated B2C distribution systems. The second contribution is the development of a generic multi-agent conceptual model for B2C distribution scenario simulations. The third contribution is the proposal of an integrated consolidation based distribution approach allowing e-vendors to improve their performances, while globally reducing e-consumer order delivery times, within a drop-ship distribution based approach. The fourth contribution is the proposal of an e-vendor dynamic inventory balancing model. The last contribution confirms through a simulation-based experiment, that a PI-enabled hyperconnected distribution leverages the sustainable potential of e-vendors.

The rapid growth in e-commerce volumes, coupled with customer expectations of faster, flexible and cheaper parcel deliveries is increasing the pressure on retailers to design the most efficient delivery network. Collection-and-delivery points (CDPs) allow for the aggregation of demand and enable reductions in travel time and costs. CDPs also help minimize additional tours arising due to failed deliveries or failed pickups for returns. We formulate an optimization model that integrates CDPs in the design of the overall distribution network, including the location of upstream transshipment facilities. The model accounts for changes in demand density due to the placement of CDPs. It considers demand aggregation at the CDP for both forward and return flows, and the impact of failed deliveries and failed return pickups on the routing cost. The model considers multiple different route options and solves them using extended routing cost approximation formulae thus allowing the implementation of the model on large-scale problems. We then apply the model to solve a real-world case study on the last-mile distribution network of a major Brazilian e-commerce retailer. The results demonstrate that failed deliveries and failed return pickups increase both the last-mile cost and the overall cost of distribution, and CDPs effectively reduce these costs by aggregating the demand and minimizing travel time.

Abstract:
Fler konsumenter väljer att handla på internet. Vare sig det handlar om bekvämlighet eller priser har denna ökning en påverkan på hur detaljhandel sköts och distribueras. Kundkraven ändras och konsumenten har mer att säga till om. Rapporten syftar till att beskriva hur en ökad e-handel har påverkat och fortsatt kommer att påverka distributionen av detaljhandelsvaror nationellt. Den beskriver även hur ökningen påverkar distributionsföretagen och hur dessa i sin tur valt att agera för att bemöta förändringen som sker på marknaden. Vad som påverkar distributionsbolagen mest kommer också att beröras och rapporten ger en bild av e-handelns påverkan på distributionsföretagen. De slutsatser som kunnat dras av rapporten är att de ökande volymerna av gods från e-handel i dagsläget inte påverkat företagen nämnvärt, men att förändringar förmodligen kommer att behöva ske inom vissa områden i framtiden. Ökningen av e-handelsgods har gett distributionsföretagen en högre volym att hantera. De ökade volymerna för även med sig ytterligare kostnader i den mest kostsamma delen av distributionen, the last mile, genom att det blir fler leveranser till konsumentens hem. På grund av denna ökade kostnad ser distributionsföretagen ett behov av att öka sina vinstmarginaler genom att erbjuda konsumenten olika tilläggstjänster. Ytterligare ser företagen att det har blivit förändringar i de krav konsumenterna ställer. Krav på leveransservice blir allt högre och pressen på distributionsföretagen att ha kvalitet i sin produktion ökar. I dagens läge konstateras att volymerna alltjämt är för låga för att motivera en omfattande affärsutveckling med dyra investeringar för att möta den nivå av ökning som hittills skett. Detta kommer förmodligen vara nödvändigt i framtiden om ökningen fortsätter i samma takt som nu. Att utöka kunskapen och arbeta mer aktivt för att främja leveransservice är därför någonting som i rapporten framkommer som viktigt inför framtidens utmaningar.
More consumers choose to shop online. Whether it is because of convenience or prices this increase has an impact on how retailing is managed and distributed. Customer demands change and the consumer has more power. This report aims to describe how an increase in e-commerce has affected and will continue to influence the distribution of retail goods nationally and how it affects the companies providing transportation of e-commerce goods. The report also discuss how the distribution companies act in response to these changes in the market and which areas that have been affected the most. The conclusions drawn from the report is that the increasing volume of goods from e-commerce have not currently affected the distribution companies significantly, however in the future changes are believed to be necessary in certain areas. The increase of e-commerce goods has contributed to a higher volume of goods for distribution companies to manage. These increased volumes bring additional costs to the most expensive part of the distribution, the last mile, by bringing more deliveries to the consumer’s home. Because of this increase in costs, the distribution companies need to increase their margins by offering consumers additional services. Additionally, the companies see a change in the customer demands. Customer demands on delivery service are increasing and the pressure on the distribution companies to have a high quality in their production increases. Today the volume is still too low to justify a heavy business development with costly investments to counter the increasing volume. These changes will probably be necessary in the future if the increase continues at the same rate. To increase the knowledge and evolve the delivery service is something that this report indicates to be important in the future.

Abstract:

The study aims to through a qualitative case study describe how six Swedish high-end apparel companies attributed as part of “the Swedish fashion wonder” with online distribution have been affected by six chosen factors. The six factors presented are extracted from previous studies and consist of customer relationships, intermediary relationships, pricing, costs and revenue, competitors and impact on the brand. The results show that customer relationships is an important factor that most companies value and was also the factor they presented as determining when they made the decision to go online. Costs and revenue have an effect on the companies and was something the companies had to consider after going online. Intermediary relationships are important to some extent and demand continual communications, but nothing that worried the companies. Competitors and pricing were not regarded as important, where price setting was primarily seen as a valuable tool to control and maintain intermediary relationships. Impact on the brand was regarded as an important factor when engaging online, and the positive aspects of increased brand knowledge and brand awareness were appreciated.

Abstract:
Bakgrund och problem: Användningen av e-handel har växt de senaste åren och detta har medfört större möjligheter för kunder. E-handeln har möjlighet att nå ut till en större målgrupp utan geografiska hinder. Detta medför ett behov av förändring i distributionen av fysiska produkter. Kunder som använder sig av e- handel har höga krav på företag och det är viktigt att e-handeln är så effektiv som möjligt för att kunna konkurrera med andra företag. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att utforma en modell för analys och effektivisering av e-handel med tillhörande distribution. Modellen utvärderades vid EM-möbler. Metod: En litteraturstudie utformades från vetenskapliga artiklar, böcker och internetsidor. Den teori som samlades in ligger till grund för modellen för analys och effektivisering av e-handel med tillhörande distribution som fortsättningsvis även kommer benämnas som effektiviseringsmodellen. Empirisk data samlades in genom intervjuer med butikschefer och annan personal på EM-möbler samt en enkät besvarades av EM:s kunder. Effektiviseringsmodellen: En modell utformades genom en sammanställning av viktiga faktorer från teorin. Vid tillämpning av modellen framkom en del problem och utvecklingsområden som EM står inför. Efter tillämpningen av modellen framkom även vilka styrkor och svagheter modellen har. Slutsats: Det är många faktorer som påverkar arbetet med e-handel och kunder ställer höga krav när det gäller hemleveranser. För att skapa en modell för analys och effektivisering av e-handel med tillhörande distribution har faktorer från teorin sammanställts. För att tydliggöra länkarna mellan de olika faktorerna utformades en ”karta” och en steg-för-steg guide utformades för att förtydliga hur modellen ska tillämpas. När modellen tillämpades på fallföretaget framkom en del problem- och utvecklingsområden. På grund av det är så många faktorer som påverkar e-handel med tillhörande distribution och effektiviseringsmodellen endast tar upp en del faktorer finns i vidare studier möjligheter för utveckling av modellen.
Background and problem: The use of e-commerce has grown during the last years and this has resulted in more opportunities for the customers. With e-commerce it is easier to reach out to a bigger targeted group without geographical obstacles. This causes a need for changes in the distribution of physical products. Because of the high demands customers have on e-commerce it is important that companies work step by step to improve the e-commerce or they will not be able to compete with other companies. Purpose: The purpose with this study was to design a model for analysis and streamlining in e-commerce and appurtenant distribution. The model is evaluated at the company EM-möbler. Method: A literature study was conducted from scientific articles, books and internet. The collected theory is the base for the model. The empirical data was gathered by interviews with store managers and other personnel at EM-möbler and the customers replied to a survey. Model: A model was conducted through a compilation of important factors from the theory. When the model was applied on the case company a few problem areas and areas of development emerged. After applying the model the strengths and weaknesses of the model appeared. Conclusion: there are many factors influencing the process of e-commerce and the customers have high demands on the home delivery. To design a model for analysis and streamlining in e-commerce and appurtenant distribution have all the factors from the theory been compiled. To clarify the links between the different factors a “map” was designed and to clarify how the model should be applied a step-for-step guide was created. When the model was applied on the case company some problem areas and areas of development emerged. Because of the many factors influencing e-commerce and the appurtenant distribution there are good possibilities for development of the model since the model only treat a few factors.

Abstract:
Omnichannel är en term som syftar till att förtydliga kundperspektivet genom att integrera processer för ett sömlöst flöde i alla tillgängliga kanaler. Kanalerna kan bland annat vara fysiska butiker, hemsidor eller appar, där integreringen av flerkanalssystem eftersträvar en friktionsfri och en sömlös köpupplevelse.Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka och diskutera hur IKEA:s e-handel har utvecklats ur ett omnichannel perspektiv genom att beskriva vilka de logistiska processerna är för fysisk distribution. Studien genomfördes som en fallstudie med en kvalitativ metod innehållande intervjuer, ett webbinarium samt sekundärdata som empiriskt underlag.Resultatet visar att IKEA:s strategi för omnichannel- och logistiska processer är i en förändring och anpassning till den växande e-handeln. Omställningen genomförs för attbibehålla flexibilitet och tillgänglighet gentemot sina konsumenter. Vidare noteras att IKEA har hanterat ökningen av e-handel genom att på kort sikt agera för de logistiska utmaningarna, vilket emellanåt har fått långsiktiga lösningar att bortprioriteras för att säkra kundorders. Slutligen visar resultatet att IKEA:s leveranssystem är en flexibel och kundcentrerad del av deras logistiska processer.
Omnichannel is a term that aims to clarify the customer perspective by integrating processes so the customer can interact through all available channels seamlessly. Channels which are used can include physical stores, websites or apps, where the integration of multichannel systems strives for a friction-free and a seamless shopping experience. The purpose of this study was to examine and discuss how IKEA:s e-commerce has developed from an omnichannel perspective by describing the logistical processes for physical distribution. This was carried out using a qualitative method containing interviews, a webinar and secondary data to compose the empirical findings and was carried out as a case study. The result displays that IKEA:s approach to omnichannel and logistical processes is in a procedure of change and adaptation to the growing e-commerce. The transformation is done to maintain flexibility and accessibility towards their consumers. The study notice that IKEA have had to deal with the increase of e-commerce by using rapid actions to be able to manage the logistical challenges, which sometimes cause long-term solutions to be de-prioritized to secure customer orders. Finally, the results show that IKEA:s delivery system is a flexible and customer centric part of their logistical processes.

Abstract:
En moins de 50 ans, le Mouvement Leclerc, créé en 1949, s'est imposé comme un acteur majeur de la grande distribution. Notre travail, réalisé à partir des archives du groupe, est centré sur l'analyse du modèle qu'il constitue et de sa dynamique d'expansion. D'une part, le discount, l'existence d'un leader charismatique et d'outils fonctionnant sur le mode coopératif sont les traits permanents de l'identité du Mouvement. D'autre part, l'expansion du réseau de magasins et la transformation des points de vente – initialement de petites épiceries devenues des hypermarchés – ont impliqué la mise en place de structures et de mécanismes spécifiques. Le Mouvement s'est initialement construit sur l'indépendance pleine et entière des magasins qui implique une organisation a minima et fortement décentralisée. Toutefois, si cette dernière s'est d'abord révélée efficace, au fur et à mesure que le Mouvement a grossi et s'est diversifié, elle a révélé ses limites, le maintien de la performance locale impliquant la mutualisation ou la nationalisation des achats d'abord, puis de certains éléments de gestion. Enfin, l'expansion du groupe et la préservation de son parc de magasins ont impliqué la création de mécanismes reposant sur la constitution de liens entre les adhérents
In less than 50 years, the Leclerc Movement, founded in 1949, has established a position as one of the nation's leading large retailers. Our study, undertaken from the company archives, is focused on an analysis of its model and the dynamic of the group's development.On one hand, the notion of discount, the presence of a charismatic leader and the cooperative structure of the organization make up the permanent foundations of the Movement's identity.On another hand, the expansion of the network of stores and the transformation of the retailers – from small groceries to supermarkets – necessitated the creation of specific structures and mechanisms.The Movement was initially built on the autonomy and independence of each shop. Management was by definition a minima and largely decentralized.However, if the structure of this organization proved to be self-sufficient at first, when the Movement grew and diversified, it revealed its limits. To maintain performance at a local level, it became essential to consolidate and centralize first the purchasing of produce, and subsequently certain elements of management.This latter phase in the company's growth and the protection of its network of shops has led to the constitution of enduring links between its members
