Consumer Perception And Willingness To Pay For Plastic Bags In Somalia's Traditional Markets: Evaluating The Ban's Effectiveness

The policy prohibiting the use of disposable plastic bags in Somalia represents a governmental effort to mitigate plastic waste accumulation. The policy's effectiveness remains uncertain, as it is implemented solely in modern retail stores, whereas the primary source of plastic bag waste originates from traditional markets. This study seeks to assess consumer perceptions of government policies concerning the ban on disposable plastic bags in traditional markets, as well as their willingness to pay for each plastic bag utilised. Data were collected through a survey questionnaire administered to consumers of traditional markets. The study's results indicated that most consumers concurred with the policy's implementation in traditional markets, albeit with a recommendation for gradual application. The implementation of paid plastic bags was also agreed upon. Their argument relies on the belief that the policy may enhance public awareness and concern regarding the reduction of disposable plastic bag usage. The average value of consumers' willingness to pay for a plastic bag is variable, indicating that consumers remain inclined to pay higher amounts. To decrease the utilisation of plastic bags within the community, it is essential to either increase the cost of plastic bags significantly or to explore alternatives, such as shopping baskets, reusable bags, or environmentally friendly plastic options

Passive Franchise as an Innovation in the Development of Cooperative-Based Retail Networks

Background: Franchising is a choice in developing a business network. One of the rampant franchise businesses in Indonesia is the development of retail store networks. Unfortunately, the presence of modern store-based retail stores is feared to threaten local businesses in the area such as the case in Kulon Progo.

NOT JUST SATISFACTION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF RECURSIVE AND NON-RECURSIVE MODELS ON MODERN RETAIL CONSUMER BEHAVIOR

The purpose of this study is to compare recursive and non-recursive models that explain the influence of employee friendliness (courtesy), understanding of the products sold, and the variety of product items on consumer loyalty through customer satisfaction at modern retail stores in the city of Surabaya. The object of observation is consumers who visit modern retail stores to shop. The convenience of consumers in shopping will lead to satisfaction and, in turn, can lead to loyalty to keep shopping at these modern retail stores. In serving consumers, a sales assistant must show friendliness and be able to explain the function of the product being sold. Another factor is the variety and completeness of the product items sold, which can cause consumers to feel their desires fulfilled, so they do not have to go shopping elsewhere. However, other expert opinions state that loyalty must be created first to cause satisfaction. In this study, observations were made of 200 consumers who were shopping at modern retail stores, provided that the consumer has made at least five purchases at the same modern retail store anywhere in Surabaya. There are two SEM models analyzed, namely: (a) recursive SEM (with exogenous variables: friendliness of the salesperson; understanding of the salesperson of the product, completeness, and variety of available product items; endogenous variables: customer loyalty; intervening variables: customer satisfaction); and (b) a non-recursive SEM model (with the same variables, but there is an alternating relationship between the endogenous variables and the intervening variables). The findings and results of the research show that from comparing the goodness of fit of the two models, the recursive model is better at explaining the phenomena studied. Thus, these findings further support the theory that loyalty arises after a person is satisfied.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0099/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

The issue addressed in this study is the optimal placement of RFID readers, which minimises the deployment cost of a system that supports checkout-free shopping. State-of-the-art methods that support checkout-free shopping have shown proof of concept demonstration, applied to a relatively small number of items. They are not optimal, not scalable, and their implementation is very expensive. The issue of reducing the system deployment and maintenance cost was not considered by these studies. This study evaluates the theoretical bounds on the number of sensors required by a system that supports checkout-free shopping and suggests an RFID readers placement method that is scalable with the number of items in the store and can reduce the deployment and maintenance cost of such a system.

Analysis of Antimicrobial Resistance in Non-typhoidal Salmonella Collected From Pork Retail Outlets and Slaughterhouses in Vietnam Using Whole Genome Sequencing.

Non-typhoidal salmonella (TS) remains a significant health burden worldwide. In Vietnam, pork accounts for 70% of the total meat consumed, and contamination with Salmonella is high. High levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have emerged among porcine NTS and of particular concern is the emergence of colistin resistance, a “last defense” antibioic against multi-drug resistant (MDR) Gram-negative pathogens. This study aimed to investigate the antibiotic susceptibility of 69 NTS isolates collected from the pork retail outlets and slaughterhouses in Vietnam during 2014 a nd 2018/19. Phenotypic testing and whole genome sequencing was used to assess the serotype and AMR gene profiles of the 69 NTS isolates. Seventeen different serotypes were identified, of which S. enterica subsp enterica serotype Typhimurium was the most common followed by S. ser. Rissen, S. ser. London, S. ser. Anatum, and S. ser. Derby. Phenotype AMR was common with 41 (59.4%) isolates deemed MDR. MDR strains were most common in slaughterhouses (83%) and supermarkets (75%) and lowest in traditional markets (38%) and convenience stores (40%). Colistin resistance was identified in 18 strains (15 resistant, three intermediate) with mcr-1 identified in seven isolates (S. ser. Meleagridis, S. Rissen, S. Derby) and mcr-3 in two isolates (S. Typhimurium). This includes the first mcr positive S. Meleagridis to our knowledge. Surprisingly, boutique stores had high levels (60%) of MDR isolates including 5/20 isolates with mcr-1. This study demonstrates that pork from modern retail stores classed as supermarkets or boutique (with pork claiming to be high quality, traceable, environmentally friendly marketed toward higher income consumers) still contained NTS with high levels of AMR.

Retail Policy Dilemma and The Existence of Modern Retail in Indonesia and Malaysia

This research originated from the phenomenon of the rapid development of the modern retail industry, which can be found in big cities in Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia. This phenomenon also coincides with the increasing level of public welfare and education, especially in urban areas. This phenomenon has resulted in an increasing number of modern retail stores which have a direct impact on the existence of traditional retail owned by the local community. The response then came from both the government and the retail industry itself. The government seems to be trying to make the development of the modern retail industry with its large capital power grow into a new force that threatens traditional retail, although, in the end, the traditional retail store owners themselves have to think of strategies to be able to continue to compete. The aim of this research is to compare the Indonesian and Malaysian government policies in retail industry regulation. The results of this study are that both countries issued mutually beneficial policies given the modern presence needed for labor needs, while the existence of traditional retailers must be maintained as one of the pillars of the country's economy in the informal sector. Policies for monitoring operating hours, building area, zoning, and guaranteeing labor absorption for modern retailers issued by the two countries with the aim of protecting the existence of traditional retailers that cannot compete directly in the capital.

IMPULSE BUYING BEHAVIOUR AT THE RETAIL CHECKOUT: AN INVESTIGATION OF SELECT ANTECEDENTS

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.
