The Need for Co-Operation Among Independent Food Retailers of Denton, TexasCook, Herschell D. 06 1900 (has links)
It has become more and more evident that independent food retailers must co-ordinate their individual efforts if they are to gain an operating efficiency paralleling that of the corporate multiple-unit or chain system. Such co-ordination largely has taken three courses: (1) group buying clubs, (2) wholesale- sponsored voluntary chains, and (3) retailer-owned co-operative warehouses. It is the last of these that this study suggests as the most appropriate course for Denton independent retailers.

The determinants of retailer power within retailer manufacturer relationships evidence from the Irish food manufacturing industryCollins, Alan Michael January 2000 (has links)
This research investigates the determinants of retailer power within retailer-manufacturer relationships by specifying and testing three models of retailer power. It is based on a sample of 55 Irish food manufacturers and their experiences of relationships with Irish and British retailers. The study adopts the view that the existing body of research into relationships with retailers is fragmented, and that a more complete understanding of these power relations may be obtained by simultaneously focusing on three sets of factors. The factors are industry specific, firm and product specific, and relationship specific. Much of the existing empirical work investigating power relations implicitly assumes power to be unidimensional through the measures employed. Consequently, the current study investigates retailer power, measured as a unidimensional construct. However, the work proceeds to explicitly acknowledge that power is multidimensional by examining retailers' power over manufacturers' product related and margin related activities. In examining these two dimensions of power, findings ofa more strategic nature are obtained. The analysis draws on the importance French and Raven (1959) attributed to observability as a determinant of power. While neglected throughout the power literature, observability, by introducing monitoring activities, provides a bridge with the transaction cost literature. In this way, specific investments, and the role of retailers' branding strategies, are incorporated into our study of power. The relationship between retailers' monitoring activities and power is specified. Proceeding from monitoring activities, the analysis sheds light on the determinants of inter-firm integration between retailers and food manufacturers. The role of specific investments, symmetric dependency, brand portfolio and retail influence on price are highlighted. The analysis of retailers' product related power supports the role of retail concentration, product shelf-life, manufacturer specific investments and retailers' product monitoring activities. Examining retail margin related power points to the importance of retail concentration, own brand penetration, the importance of economies of scale in manufacturing, product shelf life and manufacturer specific investments. Finally, retail power, measured as a unidimensional construct, is found to be related to own brand market penetration, the importance of economies of scale in manufacturing, manufacturer specific investments and retailers' monitoring activities.

Perceptions of institutional influence on the scalability of social enterprise: a study of social entrepreneurial practise in the South African food IndustryLarbi, Lee Calvin Jojo Tete January 2017 (has links)
A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Commerce by Research in the field of Management to the Faculty of Commerce, Law and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, June 2017 / The field of social entrepreneurship is gaining prominence in academic research through
its ability to drive innovation and solve complex societal problems. There is a growing
interest in this field due to the inherent appeal of entrepreneurship as well as the need to
address social inequalities. However, despite the growing interest in social
entrepreneurship, there is limited academic research in the subject – especially with
regards to the nexus between institutional influence and scale of social enterprise. The
majority of social entrepreneurial endeavours in South Africa are found in the food
industry. Despite the magnitude of the role that social entrepreneurs play in this industry,
research remains limited. Definitional debates with a bias towards conceptual research
over empirical research dominates current study on social entrepreneurship – resulting in
a lack of consensus among researchers on what social entrepreneurship means.
In addition to the above, social entrepreneurship literature has devoted insufficient
empirical and theoretical work to the study of scaling of social impact. The majority of the
theoretical work has been geared towards the development of practitioner frameworks.
The empirical research in the field has also been limited, specifically with regards to
understanding the drivers of successful scaling of social entrepreneurial organisations. The
majority of these empirical studies have utilised comparative case study approaches.
Using institutional theory as a lens, this research aimed to develop a conceptual framework
that can be utilised by social entrepreneurs, as well as relevant stakeholders in order to
promote the scale of individual social enterprises, particularly in the South African food
industry, by developing a “roadmap” to scaling. In addition to the above, the focus was on
food security in the South African food industry. It is intended that the conceptual
framework can indirectly address the broader societal issues surrounding food security.
The above was achieved through a qualitative study. Perceptions of institutional influence
on scale as well as start-ups, and drivers of scale were identified through conducting a
literature review. A conceptual framework was then established from these constructs. The
next step involved conducting semi-structured interviews with 14 social entrepreneurs in
the food industry to validate the constructs, and identify the relationships between the
constructs. The data was then analysed using the Interpretative Phenomenological
approach. The result of the qualitative research is a conceptual research framework, with
certain hypotheses.
The empirical study identified social innovation as well as the implementation of impactful
governmental policies as the most critical institutional influencers of scale. In addition,
using SCALERS model as a reference, the empirical study identified lobbying, alliance
building, and staffing as drivers to scale. It is noted that that lobbying and alliance building
can be linked to government policies as it relates to the collaboration of social enterprises
in order to influence policymakers, in addition, staffing relates to the use of volunteers to
bring new innovative solutions to the business – these drivers of scale (based on SCALERS
model) reinforce the identified institutional influences as critical to scale. If all of the above
are present, with all things being equal, then social ventures are more likely to scale –
resulting in economic growth and in addition, social issues such as food security will be
addressed.
From a social entrepreneurship perspective, this study made a substantial contribution in
shifting the social entrepreneurship research focus from conceptual, definition biased
research towards empirical research that strengthened theoretical research on social
entrepreneurship. / XL2018
