Ease or Excitement?

There is no doubt that retailing is undergoing a significant structural transformation. During the last decade or so, many stores have closed. Yet, at the same time, online retailers are opening physical stores and showrooms and many long-established retailers are investing in new and innovative store formats. This suggests that the physical store is not ‘dead’ but that its role and function is ch

IKEA Bedroom

What made IKEA go against the grain and move into town? This week, IKEA opened a bedroom store in central Stockholm. The store in The Lobby on Regeringsgatan is the latest in a series of smaller, city-centre formats that IKEA is currently testing in various parts of the world. It is an interesting development, at a time when other retailers are moving out of the city. And it represents another imp

Why we need more moral markets, not more ethical consumers

Individuals cannot solve the climate crisis, argue researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Jack Coffin. Policy makers should direct their attention to the (im)moral market structures that influence consumer and corporate decision-making. In the fight against climate change, it is more important to make markets more moral than to make consumers more ethical. Individual consumers are, by now, well used to b

Does one service fit all?

Perhaps not, argues Yulia Vakulenko. At least not when it comes to the delivery service needs and preferences of rural versus urban e-consumers in the age of consumer-centric supply chain management. The new age of consumer-centric supply chain management highlights the benefits of placing the consumer at the core of strategy development and operations design. Recent e-commerce shifts translate in

Seeing the Grocery Store with Fresh Eyes

Martin Moström from Retail House shares insights on the necessity for the retail sector to embrace change. Contrary to rumours, the physical store is far from obsolete; it has consistently evolved. Over the past two decades in the grocery trade, store numbers in Sweden have decreased from over 3,000 to around 1,000. This transformation is a natural part of business, but the challenge lies in how w

Should the market manage our city centres?

Our city centres and their development are a subject of constant debate. Ulf Johansson suggests that, if we let the market decide, our city centres will eventually be emptied of retail. Most recently, representatives from our food retailers suggested to municipalities that regulations on establishment locations be relaxed, advocating for the mantra of letting the market rule (Dagligvarunytt 2022a,

How to maintain town centre retail in times of crisis

When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, some shopping geographies had difficulties while others proved to be more resilient. Devrim Umut Aslan discusses what we can learn from these resilient places. A global pandemic hit the world, radically changing how shoppers shop and how they move around in cities.

Messy customer journey self-mapping

The new retail landscape is complex. New types of touchpoints and new store formats mean messy, non-linear customer journeys with multiple online and offline touchpoints. If we want to understand these journeys, and what value customers derive from new and innovative touchpoints, we must use methods that allow them to explain their own complex customer journeys in all their messy glory! While work

Seminarium: Sexuell, reproduktiv hälsa & rättigheter och biståndet

Tanja Stocks i Cancerfondens podd: Kopplingen övervikt och cancer

Övervikt och fetma ökar risken för olika cancersjukdomar, och övervikt kan också påverka möjligheten att överleva vid cancer.
