{"title":"The Premium Private Label from the Perspective of Supply Chain Players: An Explorative Analysis","authors":"G. Cristini, Cristina Zerbini, E. Martini","doi":"10.1431/91414","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1431/91414","url":null,"abstract":"The private label plays an increasingly important role among the competitive strategies being implemented by the major retailers in the consumer goods field. In fact, during the process of growing market penetration within the various categories, we have seen more strategies aimed at greater segmentation, in large part due to the attempt to match the new needs conveyed by the end consumers. More specifically, an increase in the number of shares has been noted in the premium segment, where, as everyone knows, the key factors for success do not depend only on pricing but also on product quality. In light of this evidence, the present study explores the importance of a premium private label's success factors (e.g., quality, sustainability and diversity) according to the perspectives and expectations of the different players operating along the supply chain, such as copackers, distributors and, of course, consumers. To be more precise, the objective of this study is to prove that differences exist between the various players' judgment of the premium private label's success factors, and therefore providing us a better understanding of which retail actions should be taken to increase both market shares and user satisfaction. The results found in this paper may provide useful information not only for brand managers working in the Italian distribution, but also for scholars and representatives of private and public institutions.","PeriodicalId":407849,"journal":{"name":"Micro & Macro Marketing","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122354533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pascucci","doi":"10.1431/81839","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1431/81839","url":null,"abstract":"The primary purpose of this paper is to investigate the internationalization strategy of an Italian medium-sized firm, with a particular focus to the entry strategy in foreign markets. The research questions are the following: 1. What are the main drivers of the firm's internationalization process? 2. How the process has been developed (how, when and where)? 3. How is the entry strategies portfolio arranged? From a methodological point of view, the empirical research is based on a case study analysis, regarding an Italian roasting firm: Kimbo Spa. Espresso coffee is one of the most important Made in Italy products, and the Italian roasting industry is strongly export-oriented. At present, coffee is a «global beverage» and foreign demand has been growing for several years. In addition, Italian market is mature, with an intense competition and both these conditions favour the internationalization of roasting firms. The firm analysed is interesting for two main reasons: first of all, it's a medium-sized firm and recently there is a growing attention to this particular type of firm as regards to its international performance both in business and academic press; secondly, studies about the roasting industry are very few, even if this sector is extremely relevant for domestic economy. The findings emerged from the case study permit to strengthen some theoretical indications and to contradict some others.","PeriodicalId":407849,"journal":{"name":"Micro & Macro Marketing","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130198730","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The approach to gambling and the way in which people develop a gambling behaviour are influenced by social and cultural factors. Therefore, three focus groups were conducted with eighteen gamblers who lived in a specific sociocultural context and played different forms of gambling. All forms of legal gambling are analyzed in order to take into account elements of differentiation eventually related to the intrinsic characteristics of each game. Results provide new insights on the topic. First, gamblers bet (all or part of) the money they won because, being unexpected, it is perceived as a surplus. Second, people gamble to get rid of coins received as change. The humble value they represent and the bother of keeping them in a bulky pocket are sufficient motives to gamble them. Third, gamblers have a negative attitude towards gambling and a stereotyped image of the different forms of gambling, coming from long time suggestions in gambling places. Implication for social marketing policy are discussed with suggestions for future research.","PeriodicalId":407849,"journal":{"name":"Micro & Macro Marketing","volume":"2014 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132379100","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analysis is based on Cati quantitative surveys conducted every three months on representative samples of the two populations (Italian consumers and businesses). This analysis shows that consumer and business sentiment reached a record low at the end of 2008. In the case of consumers this fall does not seem attributable to the credit crunch (September 2008). On the contrary, since the fall dates back to at least one year before, it appears linked to uncertainty regarding job security, economic fundamentals (i.e. salaries, taxes and business growth) and rising prices. However, consumers and businesses appear able to cope with these contextual constraints and they show a certain degree of renewed willingness to consume and invest in the immediate future. The paper discusses the results from both a short- and long-term economic perspective.","PeriodicalId":407849,"journal":{"name":"Micro & Macro Marketing","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132134072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
