Classified into:
1. Environmental Theory (retail change is attributed to change in environment) 2. Cyclical/Wheel Theory (retail change follows a pattern having identifiable attributes) 3. Conflictual Theory (conflict between 2 opposite type of retailers leads to a new format)

CYCLICAL/WHEELOF RETAILING THEORY


Given by Prof. Malcolm P. McNair

03/12/13

UNIT 1

1. New retailers often enter the market place with low prices, margins, and status. The low prices are usually the result of some innovative costcutting procedures and soon attract competitors. 2. With the passage of time, these businesses strive to broaden their customer base and increase sales. Their operations and facilities increase and become more expensive.

03/12/13

UNIT 1

3.They may move to better up market locations, start carrying higher quality products or add services and ultimately emerge as a high cost price service retailer. 4. By this time newer competitors as low price, low margin, low status emerge and these competitors too follow the same evolutionary process. 5.The wheel keeps on turning and department stories, supermarkets, and mass merchandise went through this cycles.

UNIT 1

CONFLICTUAL THEORY
Conflict exists between operators of similar formats. Retail innovation leads to development of more retail formats Retailing evokes through a dialectic process: blending of 2 opposites to create a new format.
