AVALIAÇÃO DA RESPONSABILIDADE COMPARTILHADA E DO PROCESSO DE LOGÍSTICA REVERSA EM UMA LOJA DE ASSISTÊNCIA TÉCNICA DE COMPUTADORES NO MUNICÍPIO DE ALTAMIRA – PA

Computers are electro-electronic devices widely used in today's society. Technological advancements result in these computerized devices becoming obsolete within a short period, prompting constant product replacement and, consequently, a growing issue of disposal. Inadequate disposal of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), including computers, laptops, and components, leads to negative impacts on the environment and human health. In this study, we assess the reverse logistics of computer and component waste in the municipality of Altamira-Pará, considering the shared responsibility among involved stakeholders, as established by the 2010 Law 12,305, which institutes the National Solid Waste Policy. The study adopts an exploratory and descriptive approach, collecting data through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with users, IT technicians, and merchants. The results are derived from targeted questionnaires aimed at the primary audience: users/general public and IT technicians located in Altamira-PA. It becomes evident that these agents lack awareness of their involvement in computer reverse logistics. During semi-structured interviews with the manager of the technical assistance department and employees of an IT store, it is observed that there is a lack of incentives from the government to implement an adequate reverse logistics system for WEEEs. Sustainability indicators are employed to evaluate the WEEE management process of the studied store, confirming the influence of shared responsibility in waste management. Therefore, it is crucial to propose improvements in the reverse logistics system in the municipality.

The Role of Elements in Visual Merchandising on Impulsive Buying in Retail Stores (Study on SW Market Stores in Bantul)

This study aims to examine the influence of elements in visual merchandising on impulsive buying behavior at a minimarket called SW Market. Visual merchandising, which includes store layout, product display, and employee interaction, is considered important in influencing impulsive buying. We collected data from 190 respondents who had recent shopping experiences at a minimarket using a survey approach and a Likert-scale questionnaire. The results show that a well-structured store layout facilitates consumer navigation, while attractive product displays increase visual appeal and the desire to buy impulsively. In addition, positive interactions with employees create a pleasant shopping atmosphere and encourage spontaneous purchasing decisions. This study also found that the combination of the three elements has a significant synergistic impact on impulsive buying behavior. These findings provide practical implications for retailers to optimize visual merchandising strategies to improve shopping and sales experiences. This study contributes to the literature on consumer behavior with a focus on the unique dynamics of minimarkets in Indonesia.

Investigation of awareness, sanitation, and customer education practices among employees of pet and animal feed stores that sell live animals in the United States

BackgroundNumerous zoonotic disease outbreaks have been associated with companion animals and poultry purchased at pet and animal feed stores. Employees are often the initial source of information for customers purchasing a new pet. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to: (1) investigate awareness, sanitation, and customer education practices related to zoonotic disease risk, and (2) identify predictors of providing customer education among employees of pet and animal feed stores that sell live animals.MethodsA survey of pet and animal feed store employees was conducted to evaluate sanitation practices, training, and awareness of zoonotic disease risk. Differences in proportions of categorical variables were assessed using Chi-square tests. Wilcoxon rank-sum and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to assess for differences in the values of ordinal variables based on the values of categorical variables. A partial proportional odds model was used to identify predictors of providing customer education.ResultsSurveys were completed by 206 respondents from the Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, and Western US, 146 of whom reported that their workplace sold live animals. Handwashing was more frequent among employees whose workplace had handwashing policies related to handling animals and their habitats (p < 0.001). Perceived zoonotic disease risk was higher among those who had received workplace training (p = 0.007). Higher odds of providing customer education related to zoonotic disease risk were associated with serving in a supervisory role (p = 0.005), higher perceived zoonotic disease risk (p = 0.001), and more frequent sanitation practices (handwashing, p = 0.031; surface disinfection, p < 0.001; and glove use, p < 0.001).ConclusionsPet and animal feed stores play an important role in minimizing occupational health hazards for employees and providing education for customers. These retailers should implement clear biosecurity protocols and provide training about zoonotic disease risk associated with handling live animals.

Dynamic assignment of delivery order bundles to in-store customers

Many larger grocery stores offer home delivery services. However, the delivery cost is usually high and such services are rarely profitable. One way of reducing cost is by outsourcing some orders to in-store customers for a compensation. While initially single orders were dynamically assigned to customers, companies started exploring the assignment of order bundles instead to reduce per-order compensation and exploit consolidation potential. We investigate the value of dynamic assignment of bundles in this work. To this end, we consider a setting where all orders are known and, over time, unknown in-store customers enter the system for a short time and offer transportation of bundles of orders for compensation. The store decides dynamically which bundle to assign to which in-store customer (if any). At the end of the time horizon, the remaining orders are delivered by a dedicated fleet of store employees. The goal of the store is to minimize the compensation prices together with the delivery cost. We propose a threshold-based policy with scenario-based tuning. Popularity and compensation price thresholds are determined a priori by solving a set of perfect information scenarios. In every state, bundles are only assigned if they are popular enough and the compensation is comparably low. The thresholds (i.e., popularity threshold and compensation threshold) are adapted over time to account for the decrease in assignment opportunities. We show the effectiveness of our policy in a comprehensive computational study and highlight the value of bundle assignments compared to assigning individual orders. We further show that our strategy not only reduces the compensation paid to in-store customers but also the final routing cost.

Maintaining the good store: lessons about caring practices from Swedish 100-year-old retail stores

ABSTRACT This article is about small-scale independent single-store retailers that have been in business since the first half of the 20th century – an overlooked group of actors in retail research. Research has mapped the broader structural changes in the retail industry that have benefitted large-scale operations during the last decade. Still, there is an absence of explanations for the continuous existence of small-scale retail businesses with product lines competing with large-scale actors. Retail research tends to take economic profitability and growth as starting points to interrogate the capacity of businesses to successfully compete. Against this background, the longevity of inner-city small-scale independent stores dating back to the early 20th century remains a puzzle, which calls for looking towards alternative theories to find reasons for the persistence of this line of retail. We engage with this puzzle by exploring practices of valuation engaged by store owners in a selection of small-scale, independent stores established in Gothenburg and Stockholm (Sweden) before the 1950s. We draw on understandings of values as produced through social practices and inquire how forms of caring practices figure in the day-to-day maintenance of the stores as means through which they produce value. The article builds on ethnographic fieldwork focusing on in-store interviews with store owners, employees, and customers complemented with observations. We find that care figures in these stores as expressions of attention and presence, of maintenance and of tacit knowledge, and suggest that the retailers’ focus on the caring practices identified – rather than on prioritizing growth – is key to their continued, long-term existence. Anchored in an understanding of retail as situated in broader social and political processes, and as such also impacting society at large, we moreover emphasise the importance of attentiveness and valuation of, the caring practices that small-scale store owners engage in.
