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.

An energy-as-a-service business model for aggregators of prosumers

Traditional retail business models price electricity using volumetric tariffs, which charge customers for the unit of energy consumed. These tariffs were designed for passive consumers with low flexibility. In this paper, we argue that these volumetric tariffs are unsuitable for prosumers with high flexibility since they are unable to adequately value the flexibility of their distributed energy resources in multiple electricity markets. This reduces the interest of prosumers participating in aggregators’ business models. To address this issue, we propose a new business model for aggregators of prosumers, based on the concept of energy-as-a-service. In this business model, prosumers pay a monthly fee for aggregators to represent and optimize them in multiple wholesale electricity markets, including in energy and ancillary service markets. The monthly fee is computed by a new techno-economic simulation framework proposed in this paper, which can also be used to estimate the profitability of the new business model from the perspectives of both the aggregator and prosumers. Our experiments on a portfolio of real prosumers from Australia show that the new business model maximizes the economic benefits of both the aggregator and prosumers by increasing the average profit of the aggregator by 438% and reducing the average electricity cost of prosumers from $583/year to $0 when compared to two of the most common retail business models available in the Australian market. In other words, the economic benefit for prosumers is free electricity. In addition to this benefit, the new business model also provides simplicity and predictability to prosumers, as they are offered a guaranteed outcome before providing the services.

The Correlation between Convenience Stores’ Distribution and Urban Spatial Function: Taking the FamilyMart Stores in Shanghai as an Example

This manuscript mainly focuses on the correlation between the spatial distribution of convenience stores and the distribution of urban spatial functions. We took 1217 FamilyMart convenience stores within the Shanghai outer ring area as the research objects and used the calculation method of kernel density estimation. The results show that the distribution of Shanghai FamilyMart stores is centered on the three central urban areas of Huangpu District, Jing’an District, and Xuhui District; the high-density areas of convenience stores partially overlap with the city’s main center, and some do not. The research shows that in areas with a high distribution density of convenience stores, the establishment of the convenience stores has a strong correlation with urban spatial functions, and these continence stores have formalized a network deeply integrated with the community. We believe that, in the future, with the development of small retail businesses, these can be transformed into public activity spaces through space transformation and design, which promotes the sustainable development of community interaction and traditional retail business, stimulating the sustainability of community vitality. The results of this study show that this concept has a feasible spatial basis, and the research method can also be applied to the study of other small retail commercial spaces.

THE EFFECT OF INTENSE COMPETITION FROM WELL ESTABLISHED BUSINESSES ON POORLY RESOURCED RETAIL BUSINESSES

Data was gathered from 62 traditional retail businesses at Tembisa Township by using a questionnaire to assess and evaluate the extent to which traditional retail businesses are affected by large scale shopping malls. A review of the literature shows that traditional retail businesses used to supply goods, products and services to people who live and work at Tembisa Township before the mid-1990s. Since then, large retailers and shopping malls have opened up shops at Tembisa Township, thereby competing against traditional small scale retail businesses. A significant market share has since been lost to large retailers and shopping malls by traditional small retailers and businesses. The results showed that some of the traditional retail businesses had managed to survive by using innovative marketing and networking techniques. The key attributes of resilient businesses were keeping very close working relationships with their historical customers, comparing selling prices on a daily basis, actively encouraging customers to keep supporting their businesses, opening up their shops earlier than 9:00 AM each day, staying very late in the evening at work, working extended hours, the use of social media platforms, selling on credit and ordering merchandise in bulk and on credit.

ERP ODOO IMPLEMENTATION IN SMALL RETAILERS

This study aims to identify current traditional retail business processes (As-is), align, and integrate their business processes based on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). This ERP implementation minimizes recordkeeping errors and saves time supporting traditional retail businesses. The design of a new business process (To-Be) was built considering the ERP business process. This study used the system development process method of ERP, which includes the stages of planning, requirements analysis, design, detailed design, and implementation. In addition, a gap/fit analysis was carried out to compare the current business process analysis (As-Is) and the proposed business process (To-Be) after using the ERP Odoo system. This study found that the business processes at AH Mart traditional retail require several changes (re-engineering), from manual and unintegrated business processes to a computerized and integrated model between divisions. Differences in business processes that occur at AH Mart are in the warehouse, cashier, and treasurer. In the warehouse, the implementation of stock-opname with ERP can use barcodes, so the product data is neatly recorded in the system, and the number of incoming and outgoing products can be appropriately detected. The cashier uses a barcode system, and the total calculation of customer payments is automatically accumulated. Making financial reports by the treasurer is more effective because the report data for each division is already stored in the same database. This research provides insight into changing from conventional business processes to business processes based on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). ERP business process can be adapted by traditional retail in the modern era.

Exploring the impact of technological disruptions in the automotive retail: A futures studies and systems thinking approach based on causal layered analysis and causal loop diagram

This paper investigates the complex mechanism and the impact of the "CASE" (Connected, Autonomous, Shared, and Electrification) technological disruptions on the automotive retail industry. A focus group in South Korea, consisting of industry stakeholders and experts, conducted two workshops. Causal Layered Analysis, a futures studies theory/methodology, was adopted to formulate the overall system's Causal Loop Diagram, a systems thinking methodology, to present the dynamic behaviors and sets of causations in the entire system. The result indicates that disruptive technologies affect the traditional automotive retail business model. However, it was found that strategic leverages create alternatives and desirable "new" reality turning the technology's risks into opportunities through backcasting. The study suggests a significant theoretical value by presenting a new qualitative research framework that synthesizes futures studies and systems thinking approaches, maximizing their potential. A systematic framework-based business foresight process should be emphasized for organizations to survive in a rapidly changing environment.
