A retail business is a business selling products and services that have been added to meet the needs of individuals, families or other end users. Retail business in Indonesia is divided into 2 groups, namely traditional retail and modern retail. Modern retail is basically a development of traditional retail. Retail business does not always have to be done in a shop, but can also be done via telephone or internet, also called retail or non-shop retail. The characteristics of a traditional retail business are simple, the place is not too large, the goods sold are not too many type, the management or management system is still simple, does not offer shopping convenience and there is still a process of haggling over prices with traders, and the products sold are not displayed openly, so customers do not know whether the retailer has the goods they are looking for or not. Meanwhile, modern retail businesses On the contrary, it offers a spacious place, there are many types of goods sold, the management system is well managed, offers shopping convenience, the selling price is fixed (fixed price), so there is no bargaining process and there is a self-service or self-service system, as well as displays products on open shelves, so customers can see, choose, and even try products first before deciding to buy. Of all the retail companies, there is one large company that also dominates the retail business currently, namely Carrefour. Carrefour is an international supermarket group, headquartered in France. Carrefour is the second largest retail group after Wal-Mart. The first Carrefour store opened on June 3, 1957, in Annecy near an intersection

The influence of helmet certification in motorcycle helmets protective performance

The convenience of online shopping has increased access to a vast array of helmet options and deals for motorcyclists. However, the e-commerce enables an influx of unverified and potentially hazardous helmets lacking the rigorous quality control into the market, hence, placing unaware bargain seekers at risk. The non-certified variants questions in terms of impact protection abilities because they visually look similar to certified helmets. This study compared certified full face and open face helmets against their non-certified counterparts by analysing injury predictor metrics. Using a test rig simulating 5.58 ± 0.29 m/s impacts, an anthropomorphic test device wearing both helmet types and certification statuses measured peak resultant linear and angular accelerations, head injury criterion alongside brain injury criteria scores. The data revealed comparable side and rear impact performance between non-certified and certified helmets. However, frontal impacts exposed deficiencies without certification. The non-certified full face helmets registered over twice the peak linear acceleration of certified while open face types still exceeded certified by 40% in frontal impacts. Additionally, non-certified full face helmets indicated up to 100% predicted concussion risks in side and frontal crashes based on the angular accelerations. The poorer frontal impact and elevated injury odds demonstrate certification's key safety advantages that certification should not be ignored while it still providing more protection than no helmet. However, individual needs to carefully select helmets due to performance differences of helmets. Riders should ultimately prioritize proven protection given the severe consequences of head trauma though non-certified may suffice for some low-risk environments.

Dual channel sales in supply chain: live streaming or traditional e-commerce

In recent years, live streaming is becoming a popular channel to sell products all over the world. Compared to traditional e-commerce channel, live streaming channel may not only bring consumers more shopping convenience, but also pose consumers more privacy concern. This paper considers a supply chain consisting of a manufacturer and an e-tailer who sells through dual channels (i.e., live streaming and traditional e-commerce) to explore how shopping convenience and privacy concern affect the optimal decisions. We build game models of two pricing (exogenous and endogenous) and two incentive contracts (wholesale price and two-part tariff). We find that the optimal promotion efforts are decreasing in shopping convenience while increasing in privacy concerns under the wholesale price contract, and independent of them under the two-part tariff contract when pricing is not a decision (such as iPhone); the optimal promotion efforts are increasing in shopping convenience while decreasing in privacy concern when pricing is a decision (such as the seasonal products). Whether the retail pricing is a decision or not, supply chain coordination can be achieved by the two-part tariff contract, but not through the wholesale price contract. Further, the two-part tariff contract is more favorable to the manufacturer if the exogenously given retail price is low, and the wholesale price contract is more favorable to the manufacturer if the retail price is high; the two-part tariff contract is always more beneficial for the supply chain than the wholesale price contract. Finally, we extend our analysis to relax a more realistic form with a variable effort elasticity and verify the robustness of the theoretical results.

Research on the Relationship between Bamboo-Based Product Design Attributes and Consumer Satisfaction

Abstract Sustainable low-carbon design is actively guiding the public's green consumption and use of forest resources. With the slogan of replacing plastic with bamboo and the optimization of bamboo's organizational structure and processing form, bamboo is becoming more and more designable. However, we found that there are still many views expressing dissatisfaction with bamboo products, among which homogeneity and insufficient design differentiation are the most frequent. On the basis of this, we obtained attributes for measuring bamboo product satisfaction through literature review, conducted a questionnaire survey of 463 customers to obtain data, and empirically analyzed attributes such as product creativity (PC), product quality (PQ), product fashion (PF), soft added value (SV), and shopping convenience (SC). We assessed the impact on consumer satisfaction (CS), as well as the impact on satisfaction under the moderating effect of brand image (BI). The results show that PF, BI, PC, and PQ positively affect CS; PF, PQ, and SV positively affect the BI; PF, SV, and PQ positively affect CS through the intermediary effect of BI. SV has an insignificant effect on CS, but can positively affect CS through BI, indicating that there is a partial mediating effect of BI. However, the mediating effect of BI on PC, SC, and CS has not been verified. Finally, on the basis of the conclusions, several countermeasures and suggestions for bamboo product innovation are put forward.

Online antecedents for young consumers’ impulse buying behavior

Acting on a sudden urge to purchase something without a prior intention or plan to do so and without considering its long-term effects is regarded as impulse buying behavior. The convenience and automatization of online and mobile shopping have made impulsive purchases increasingly easier. In addition, targeted online advertisements, and presence of brands on social media networks may tempt consumers to make hasty purchase decisions. Thus, there is a call for more research on how consumer-related factors and digital environment facilitate impulsive purchases. Based on a survey of 2318 respondents from 18- to 29-year-olds in Finland, we examined young adults’ impulse buying behavior from the perspective of self-control and persuasion in online environments. The findings suggest that low self-control not only directly enables impulsive purchasing, but also does so by fostering positive attitude toward targeted advertisements and the impulsiveness within social networks. Furthermore, a positive disposition towards targeted advertisements renders consumers more susceptible to the impulsiveness of social networks, encompassing the impact of recommendations and product displays on social media. Finally, we offer guidance on how the teaching of self-control and online media literacy can strengthen the resistance to persuasion in online environments and decrease the tendency to engage in impulse buying behavior.
