In recent years, the retail industry has undergone a profound and rapid transformation: just consider the spread of the internet and social media, and the resulting opportunities to open online retail channels, track the location and preferences of the buyer in order to process targeted messages and offers or even the possibility, for consumers, to share opinions, experiences and interact with retailers. In this situation, retailers are continuously called upon to develop new sales strategies and develop an omnichannel approach to respond to the needs of consumers, whose attitudes and purchasing patterns change over time. The aim of the text is to illustrate the fundamentals of retail marketing by combining theoretical aspects with professional evidence in order to make the contents usable for academics and operators in the commercial distribution sector, as well as for students engaged in university education courses. In an effort to adapt the original edition of Ennis' text, various in-depth studies have been carried out with theoretical integrations, case studies, bibliographical and statistical updates in order to make the topics, terminology and evidence more consistent with the Italian academic tradition and current distribution scenarios. The book is divided into thirteen chapters that analyze the most recent evolution of academic literature in retail, addressing the various aspects that characterize the discipline in a clear way: starting from the very definition of retailing and its contribution to the economy, we then address the psychology of the consumer, the key elements and management of the supply chain, the relationship between distributor and retailer, marketing mix strategies, customer care, pricing and communication. An entire chapter is also dedicated to sustainability and corporate social responsibility, illustrating the various initiatives implemented by retailers. The authors take a practical approach and accompany the content with a range of specially developed international and Italian case studies.
Negli ultimi anni il settore del retail ha vissuto una profonda e frenetica trasformazione: basti pensare alla diffusione di internet e dei social media, e alle conseguenti opportunità di aprire canali online di vendita al dettaglio, tracciare la posizione e le preferenze dell’acquirente in modo da elaborare messaggi e offerte mirati o ancora alla possibilità, per i consumatori, di condividere tra loro opinioni, esperienze e interagire con i rivenditori. In questa situazione, i retailer sono continuamente chiamati a elaborare nuove strategie di vendita e sviluppare un approccio omnicanale per rispondere alle esigenze dei consumatori, i cui atteggiamenti e modelli di acquisto mutano nel tempo. Obiettivo del testo è di illustrare i fondamenti del retail marketing coniugando gli aspetti teorici con le evidenze professionali per rendere fruibili i contenuti sia a un pubblico accademico e agli operatori del settore della distribuzione commerciale, sia agli studenti impegnati nei percorsi di formazione universitaria. Nello sforzo di adattamento dell’edizione originaria del testo di Ennis, sono stati effettuati svariati approfondimenti con integrazioni teoriche, casi di studio, aggiornamenti bibliografici e statistici al fine di rendere le tematiche, le terminologie e le evidenze maggiormente coerenti anche con la tradizione accademica italiana e gli attuali scenari distributivi. Il volume è articolato in tredici capitoli che analizzano la più recente evoluzione della letteratura accademica nel retail, affrontando in modo chiaro i vari aspetti che caratterizzano la disciplina: partendo dalla definizione stessa di retailing e dal suo contributo all’economia, si affrontano poi la psicologia del consumatore, gli elementi chiave e la gestione della supply chain, il rapporto tra distributore e retailer, le strategie di marketing mix, il customer care, la fissazione dei prezzi e la comunicazione. Un intero capitolo è inoltre dedicato alla sostenibilità e alla responsabilità sociale d’impresa, illustrando le varie iniziative messe in atto dai retailer. Gli autori adottano un approccio pratico e accompagnano i contenuti con una gamma di casi di studio internazionali e italiani appositamente sviluppati.

Abstract
In recent years, the retail industry has undergone a profound and rapid transformation: just consider the spread of the internet and social media, and the resulting opportunities to open online retail channels, track the location and preferences of the buyer in order to process targeted messages and offers or even the possibility, for consumers, to share opinions, experiences and interact with retailers. In this situation, retailers are continuously called upon to develop new sales strategies and develop an omnichannel approach to respond to the needs of consumers, whose attitudes and purchasing patterns change over time. The aim of the text is to illustrate the fundamentals of retail marketing by combining theoretical aspects with professional evidence in order to make the contents usable for academics and operators in the commercial distribution sector, as well as for students engaged in university education courses. In an effort to adapt the original edition of Ennis' text, various in-depth studies have been carried out with theoretical integrations, case studies, bibliographical and statistical updates in order to make the topics, terminology and evidence more consistent with the Italian academic tradition and current distribution scenarios. The book is divided into thirteen chapters that analyze the most recent evolution of academic literature in retail, addressing the various aspects that characterize the discipline in a clear way: starting from the very definition of retailing and its contribution to the economy, we then address the psychology of the consumer, the key elements and management of the supply chain, the relationship between distributor and retailer, marketing mix strategies, customer care, pricing and communication. An entire chapter is also dedicated to sustainability and corporate social responsibility, illustrating the various initiatives implemented by retailers. The authors take a practical approach and accompany the content with a range of specially developed international and Italian case studies.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
