国外学者对新零售的见解新零售是指通过科技、数据和互联网等新兴技术手段来改变传统零售模式的商业模式。
在国外，许多学者对新零售提出了自己的见解和研究成果。
本文将对国外学者对新零售的见解进行综述。
首先，新零售被广泛认为是商业模式的变革和创新。
根据斯坦福大学的教授拉杰·贾因达尔（Rajiv Lal）的研究，传统零售商主要依靠供应链和物流优势，而新零售则注重创造与消费者互动的体验。
新零售通过整合线上线下渠道，打造无界消费环境，实现了“随时随地、个性化、便捷”的购物体验。
与此同时，根据麻省理工学院的教授菲利普·埃文斯（Philip Evans）的研究，新零售在数据分析和人工智能技术的应用方面具有独特优势，能够更好地了解消费者需求，提供更加个性化的产品和服务。
其次，国外学者普遍认为，新零售的成功离不开技术和数据的支持。
美国企业家兼投资家马克·安德森（Marc Andreessen）指出，新零售最大的革命在于通过互联网和移动技术将消费者与企业连接起来，实现实时交互和实时反馈。
这一观点得到了加州大学伯克利分校的教授彼得·杜拉克（Peter Drucker）的支持，他认为新零售将大幅度提高企业的可见性和透明度，帮助企业更好地理解市场和消费者，更好地满足其需求。
此外，国外学者也对新零售所带来的机遇和挑战进行了深入研究。
哈佛商学院的教授迈克尔·波特（Michael Porter）认为，新零售的出现改变了市场竞争格局，强调企业应该专注于创新和差异化竞争，打造独特的核心竞争优势。
英国剑桥大学的教授哲学家塞尔吉奥·马利奥尼（Sergio Mario Quintana）则指出，新零售提供了更多的机遇和平台，使小微企业也能够借助技术创新在竞争中脱颖而出。
但同时，新零售也带来了一系列挑战，比如数据隐私保护、信息安全等问题，需要相关机构和企业加强管理和保护。
除了商业模式和技术创新，国外学者还对新零售的影响因素和发展趋势进行了探讨。
“差评”英语怎么说摘要：美国一项研究表明，在网站上写差评的人往往是卖家最有价值和最忠实的顾客。
你知道怎么用英语表达吗?People who write negative reviews on websites are often a retailer's most valuable and loyal customers, American research suggests.Retail specialists at MIT and Northwestern University found the harshest of critics may not have bought the product they were complaining about, but had strong feelings about a service or brand.The study, which is the first to take an in-depth look at the behaviour of customers who write negative reviews online, has disproved popular theories that peeved competitors or oddball customers make the harshest critics.美国一项研究表明，在网站上写差评的人往往是卖家最有价值和最忠实的顾客。
来自麻省理工大学和西北大学的零售学专家发现，最不留情面的评论者可能并没有购买他们所批评的产品，但是他们对某项服务或品牌抱有着强烈的感情。
这是专家首次对差评顾客的行为进行深度研究。
这项研究的发现也反驳了之前认为最无情的评论往往来自于同行恶意竞争者或奇葩顾客的传统观点。
【讲解】文中的negative review就是“差评”的意思。
negative的意思是“负面的”、“消极的”，又如negative consequence 不良后果和a negative role 反面人物等。
retailpriceRetail Price: The Key Factor in Consumer Decision-MakingIntroduction:In today's competitive market, retail pricing has emerged as a decisive factor influencing consumers' purchasing decisions. Defined as the price at which a product or service is sold to end consumers, retail pricing plays a crucial role in attracting and retaining customers, maximizing profits, and positioning a brand in the market. This document explores the significance of retail pricing, its impact on consumer decision-making, and strategies that businesses can adopt to optimize their pricing strategies.1. The Importance of Retail Pricing:Retail pricing is not merely the determination of a selling price; it is an essential element that requires careful consideration from businesses. Here are a few reasons why retail pricing is crucial:1.1 Profitability: Setting an appropriate retail price can directly impact a company's profitability. Ensuring that the price is high enough to cover costs and generate a profit margin is vital for sustainability and growth.1.2 Competitive Edge: Price is often a significant factor in consumers' comparison-shopping behavior. By offering competitive prices, businesses can attract more customers and gain a competitive edge over their competitors.1.3 Brand Perception: Retail prices also shape consumers' perceptions of a brand. A high price may imply exclusivity and quality, while a low price may give the impression of lower quality or value for money. Retail pricing can impact how customers perceive the brand and its products.2. Consumer Decision-Making and Retail Pricing:Understanding how retail pricing influences consumers' decision-making processes is crucial for businesses to develop effective pricing strategies. Here are a few ways in which retail pricing impacts consumer behavior:2.1 Value Perception: Retail price affects consumers' perception of value for money. A higher price may lead consumers to believe that a product is of higher quality or offers superior features, while a lower price may be associated with lower quality or reduced benefits.2.2 Price Sensitivity: Retail pricing also determines how price-sensitive customers are. Some consumers are willing to pay a premium for high-quality products, while others are more price-conscious and opt for lower-priced alternatives. The price elasticity of demand plays a significant role in determining consumers' sensitivity to price changes.2.3 Purchase Decision: Price often acts as a decisive factor in consumers' purchase decisions. A well-priced product has the potential to convert potential customers into active buyers, while an exorbitantly priced product may lead to lost sales opportunities.3. Strategies for Optimizing Retail Pricing:To optimize retail pricing, businesses need to consider several strategies that align with their objectives and target market. Below are a few key strategies worth considering:3.1 Cost-Based Pricing: This approach involves determining the price by adding a markup percentage to the cost of production. It ensures that costs are covered while allowing for a reasonable profit margin.3.2 Value-Based Pricing: This strategy focuses on setting prices based on the perceived value of the product or service. The goal is to capture the value that consumers assign to the product and price it accordingly.3.3 Bundle Pricing: Bundling products or services together and offering them at a discounted price can encourage consumers to make a purchase and increase the perceived value of the offer.3.4 Promotional Pricing: Temporary price reductions, such as discounts or sales, can create a sense of urgency and drive customer interest. Employing promotional pricing tactics can help businesses attract new customers or increase sales volume in the short term.3.5 Dynamic Pricing: Employing dynamic pricing strategies, businesses can adjust prices based on demand, competition,or other market factors. This approach allows for flexible pricing that adapts to changing market conditions.Conclusion:In the complex landscape of consumer decision-making, retail pricing holds a pivotal role. Understanding the importance of retail pricing, its impact on consumer behavior, and implementing suitable pricing strategies can significantly influence a business's success. By optimizing retail pricing, businesses can enhance profitability, gain a competitive edge, and create value for both themselves and their customers. Thus, mastering the art of retail pricing is essential for businesses seeking sustainable growth in today's competitive market.。

解剖美国在线零售商Zappos：玩着取胜, 昨天 10:06, 1329次阅读, 7答复Joseph Michelli过去这些年我一直在疑心一件事：咱们听说有些人只是在YouTube上看了那些“如何办”的视频后，决定摘除扁桃体，而并无给那个医生支付问诊费。
让咱们来看看，每件事都有商品化的风险(大部份归功于信息传递的速度，消费者对技术的把握，媒体不断告知人们经济脆弱需要消费)。
但为安在Priceline和Traveloc-ity如此的公司显现以后，有些旅行中介仍然繁荣呢？为何同类公司通过折价吸引价钱灵敏的消费者，而一些公司仍然能够维持溢价？最重要的问题在于，你如何保证你的生意可不能陷入“商品化陷阱”。
近来的经济衰退再次证明了这一事实：唯有让消费者感到“大吃一惊”的品牌才能生存和进展！与之相反，那些仅仅能够知足消费者的品牌正处于消亡的边缘！我曾和很多公司一路工作，他们不仅能够知足消费者，而且通过营造“饥渴”体验在情感上感动对方。
因为阅读这篇文章的你身处美国之外，可能对Zappos了解不多。
相关于明白得这间公司如何营造一种并世无双和引人入胜的用户体验，对这家美国在线零售商的背景知识的了解并非重要。
这种Zappos式体验让这间公司通过挑战各类可能，从而制造了一个网络帝国，从最初一个虚拟鞋店顺利拓展到鞋之外的其他领域。
Zappos总能收取溢价，它成功的要紧缘故在于所提供的创新用户体验超出了消费者、小商家和偶然接触那个品牌的人们的预期。
和其他互联网泡沫时期的在线零售商(比如一间叫作的美国公司，那时融资更多，卖的产品更简单——猫砂)不同，Zappos同时在物流体系和让消费者中意的公司文化二者上进行投入。
为了让你认可Zappos可能是你已有效户体验中的标杆，让我摘取“Zappos式体验”的5个原那么的要点如下：1)提供完美的贴身效劳2)令它轻而易举地流畅3)个性化效劳4)晋升和拓展5)玩着取胜提供完美的贴身效劳想象一下你能够提供一个工作机遇，最终要从两个条件相当的候选人当当选择：两位都表现不错，之前都有令人印象深刻的工作经历和热情中肯的推荐信。
The retail industry is undergoing a major revolution, driven by technological advancements and changing consumer behavior.Traditional brick-and-mortar stores are facing stiff competitionfrom e-commerce giants like Amazon, as well as from smaller online businesses. This has forced retailers to adapt and innovate in order to survive in the rapidly evolving market.One of the biggest changes in the retail industry is the shifttowards omnichannel retailing. This approach integrates thedifferent shopping channels – such as physical stores, online stores, and mobile apps – to provide a seamless and consistent experiencefor customers. Retailers are investing in technology to connecttheir various sales channels and provide customers with flexible options for purchasing and receiving their products.Another key aspect of the retail revolution is the rise ofpersonalized shopping experiences. With the help of big data and artificial intelligence, retailers can now analyze customer behavior and preferences to offer personalized product recommendations and targeted marketing campaigns. This not only enhances the shopping experience for customers but also helps retailers increase sales and customer loyalty.Furthermore, the concept of sustainability and ethical consumerismis gaining traction in the retail industry. Consumers are becoming more conscious of the environmental and social impact of their purchases, leading retailers to rethink their sourcing andproduction processes. Many retailers are now offering eco-friendlyand ethically produced products, as well as implementing sustainable practices in their operations.In addition, the rise of mobile shopping and contactless paymentshas further transformed the retail landscape. Consumers areincreasingly using their smartphones to browse and purchase products, and retailers are leveraging mobile technology to offer convenientand secure payment options.Overall, the retail revolution is reshaping the way consumers shopand the way retailers operate. It is pushing retailers to embrace technology, prioritize customer experience, and align with ethicaland sustainable practices in order to stay competitive in the ever-changing retail market. As the industry continues to evolve, it will be crucial for retailers to stay agile and innovative to meet the demands of modern consumers.。
零售商如何将线上和线下购买相结合英语作文Retail companies have been facing significant challenges in recent years as consumer behavior continues to evolve. The rise of e-commerce has disrupted traditional brick-and-mortar stores, forcing retailers to adapt and find ways to integrate their online and offline operations. Successful retailers have recognized the importance of providing a seamless and engaging shopping experience for their customers, regardless of the channel they choose to use.One of the key strategies for retailers to combine their online and offline offerings is through the use of omnichannel marketing. Omnichannel refers to the integration of multiple sales channels, including physical stores, websites, mobile apps, and social media platforms, to provide a cohesive and consistent customer experience. By leveraging the strengths of both online and offline channels, retailers can create a more convenient and personalized shopping journey for their customers.One of the primary benefits of an omnichannel approach is the ability to offer a wider range of products and services to customers.Online stores can provide a broader selection of items, as they are not limited by physical store space. At the same time, physical stores can serve as showrooms where customers can touch, feel, and experience products before making a purchase. This hybrid model allows retailers to cater to the preferences of different customer segments and meet their diverse needs.Another key aspect of the omnichannel strategy is the integration of customer data across all channels. By collecting and analyzing customer behavior, preferences, and purchase history, retailers can gain valuable insights that can inform their marketing strategies and product offerings. This data-driven approach allows retailers to personalize the shopping experience, make more informed decisions, and enhance customer loyalty.One successful example of a retailer that has effectively combined its online and offline operations is Nordstrom. The company has implemented a comprehensive omnichannel strategy that includes a robust e-commerce platform, a network of physical stores, and various customer service touchpoints. Nordstrom's customers can seamlessly move between these channels, with the ability to browse and purchase products online, pick up or return items in-store, and access personalized recommendations and services.Another notable example is Walmart, which has made significantinvestments in its omnichannel capabilities. The company has integrated its online and physical stores, allowing customers to order items online and pick them up in-store or have them delivered to their homes. Walmart has also leveraged its extensive network of physical locations to offer same-day delivery and curbside pickup options, providing customers with greater convenience and flexibility.To effectively combine online and offline shopping, retailers must also focus on creating a consistent brand experience across all channels. This includes aligning marketing messaging, product assortment, pricing, and customer service policies. By maintaining a cohesive brand identity, retailers can build trust and foster stronger relationships with their customers.Additionally, the integration of technology plays a crucial role in the success of an omnichannel strategy. Retailers must invest in advanced inventory management systems, mobile applications, and in-store digital tools to enable seamless customer experiences. This can include features such as real-time product availability, personalized recommendations, and frictionless checkout processes.Furthermore, retailers must adapt their physical store designs and staffing strategies to accommodate the changing needs of their customers. This may involve creating more experiential and interactive store environments, as well as training employees toprovide seamless support across all channels.In conclusion, the successful integration of online and offline shopping is a critical component of a retailer's long-term success. By leveraging an omnichannel approach, retailers can provide their customers with a more convenient, personalized, and engaging shopping experience, ultimately driving loyalty and increasing sales. As consumer behavior continues to evolve, retailers must remain agile and innovative in their strategies to stay ahead of the competition and meet the changing demands of the market.。

英语作文-便利店零售行业，门槛之争愈演愈烈In the bustling streets of urban centers, the convenience store has become a cornerstone of modern retail. These compact yet comprehensive shops offer a range of products from snacks to household essentials, often operating around the clock to serve the needs of the community at any hour. The retail industry, particularly the convenience store sector, is witnessing an intensifying battle for market dominance. This struggle is not just about location or price, but also about innovation and adaptation to the evolving demands of consumers.The convenience store industry has traditionally been characterized by low barriers to entry, which has led to a saturated market with fierce competition. Small, independent stores compete with large chains, each vying for a share of the consumer's wallet. The proliferation of these stores has been both a boon and a bane; while it offers consumers unparalleled accessibility, it also means that each store must fight harder to maintain its customer base.One of the key strategies in this battle has been the diversification of services. Convenience stores are no longer just places to buy quick snacks or drinks; they have transformed into multi-service centers that offer a variety of services such as ATMs, parcel delivery and pickup, ticket sales for events and transportation, and even dry cleaning. This evolution has been driven by the need to create additional value for customers, making each visit to the store more than just a transaction.Technology has also played a pivotal role in the intensifying competition. With the advent of e-commerce and mobile shopping, traditional convenience stores have had to innovate to keep up. Many have introduced their own apps and online platforms, allowing customers to order products in advance for in-store pickup or home delivery. This digital shift has not only provided convenience but also opened up new avenues for data collection and personalized marketing, further enhancing customer loyalty.Despite these advancements, the core of the convenience store's appeal remains its physical presence and the immediate gratification it offers. In an age where time is increasingly precious, the ability to quickly walk in, find what you need, and make a purchase is invaluable. This is where the battle for location comes into play. Stores vie for prime spots that guarantee high foot traffic, understanding that visibility and accessibility can make or break their business.The competition extends to the products offered as well. Convenience stores have expanded their inventory to include healthier food options, gourmet snacks, and even private label products that challenge the offerings of supermarkets and specialty stores. This shift reflects a deeper understanding of consumer trends and a desire to cater to the health-conscious and discerning shopper.In conclusion, the convenience store retail industry is in the midst of a dynamic and relentless struggle for supremacy. The barriers to entry may be low, but the stakes are high as each store seeks to outdo the others in terms of service, innovation, and convenience. As the industry continues to evolve, it will be the agility and customer-centric approach of these stores that will determine their success in the ever-escalating battle for retail dominance. With each store striving to be a one-stop solution for the busy consumer, the convenience store has truly become an indispensable part of urban life.。
美国十大零售巨头来源：尹洁的日志10 Retail Power PlayersNRF ranked retailers based on their U.S. sales in 2009. To arrive at U.S. sales figures, the research firm utilized a variety of estimation techniques based on publicly disclosed information. For this reason, the figures do not always match the companies' official public filing reports. Revenue from non-retailing operating segments is also removed unless otherwise noted, and system-wide sales are provided when the operation is a franchise.This year's study also eliminated gasoline sales from total retail sales in most instances. This knocked virtually all convenience store operators off the chart. While fuel-sales volume didn't vary much year-to-year, prices were volatile.Overall discounters and grocers reigned supreme over general merchandise and apparel specialty chains. In fact, none of the apparel retailers even placed within the top 20, with TJX (TJX - News) faring best of the bunch at No. 23.Here are the retailers that ranked in the top 10 according to NRF's measurement…10. Best Buy(百思买);Best Buy (BBY - News), coming in at No. 10, is one of only two traditional electronic retailers to appear on NRF's top 100 chart. In 2009, the company generated $37.3 billion in sales at its 1,192 U.S. stores.High-definition televisions, netbook computers and smartphones were big drivers of sales, helping to push Best Buy's sales up 1.7%. This offset a 3% decline from entertainment software like video games, CDs and DVDs. Best Buy is looking to ramp up this business with the recent launch of a video download service to compete with similar programs from Amazon (AMZN - News), Blockbuster (BBI - News), Apple (AAPL - News) and Netflix (NFLX - News).Domestically, 39% of Best Buy's sales came from consumer electronics, with home office products accounting for another 34%.Even as other retailers looked to cut costs, Best Buy still opened 100 new stores during the year. The electronic retailer is currently focused on expanding its Best Buy Mobile business, with plans to operate up to1,000 of these stores.9. Sears(西尔斯);Sears (SHLD - News) retains its No. 9 ranking, even as its sales continue to remain sluggish. In 2009, Sears sales dropped nearly 6% to $44 billion, as the company shuttered some underperforming stores.This trend has continued into 2010, as one of the few retailers that still saw a decline in profit in its first quarter. Sears reported a 39% drop for the period, earning $16 million, or 14 cents a share, on revenue of $10.05 billion. Sears said its profit margin was squeezed due to deep discounts on major appliances.Still, some of Sears' new initiatives should give investors some encouragement. The department store recently launched a marketplace on its Web site, an appliance layaway program, and streaming movie and TV downloads partnership.8. Lowe's(劳氏);The housing slump pushed Lowe's (LOW - News) 2009 sales down 2.1% to $47.2 billion, but improving trends in bellwether markets like Florida and California are promising.Already in the first three months of 2010, Lowe's posted a 2.4% increase in same-store sales, its first positive quarterly comparable sales figure in nearly four years. While some of this gain can be attributed to government stimulus programs, the home improvement retailer did raise its sales and earnings forecast for 2010.Still, analysts are cautious on the sector, as several cut their estimates for both Lowe's and rival Home Depot (HD - News). "Management commentary on recent webcasts reflected a slight downshift in tone, in our view, and this is what recent investor sentiment has been concerned about," FBR analyst Stephen Chick wrote in a note last week.7. CVS Caremark(美国CVS药店连锁);CVS Caremark (CVS - News) ranks at No. 7, with $55.4 billion in sales in 2009, a 13% increase from the year prior. NRF's total does not include non-retail sales. CVS' purchase of Long's Drug Stores back in 2008, is one of the primary factors of the double-digit sales growth.CVS made headlines along with rival Walgreen due to a dispute over its pharmacy benefits management business. The disagreement ended in a resolution where Walgreen will continue to participate in CVS' PBM for existing, new and renewed plans.In June, CVS approved a new plan to repurchase up to $2 billion in shares before the end of 2011. It recently completed a $2 billion share buyback in November.6. Costco (好市多);Costco Wholesale (COST - News) fell three places to No. 6, generating $56.5 billion in sales at its 406 stores in the United States and Puerto Rico.The biggest reason for Costco's drop on NRF's chart is due to the exclusion of fuel, as it derives a significant portion of its overall revenue from the gas pump.Regardless, Costco credits its food products with boosting its volume even as consumers tightened their purse strings. The wholesaler has said that last year's trends have continued into the first half of the year, as traffic within its stores pichas picked up, but spending remains below normal. The bulk of purchases continue to come from food and other necessities, rather than non-essentials.5. Home Depot (家得宝);As with Lowe's, the success of Home Depot (HD - News) is closely tied to the performance of the housing market.While there is skepticism in the market after last week's disappointing new homes data, Janney Capital Markets analyst David Strasser said he is confident in the company's turnaround. He cited Home Depot's increased visibility in its supply chain, which could mean robust margin opportunities, as well as its investment in information technology."The ability to accurately forecast inventory, manage pricing and control labor hours, all result in better sales and margins," Strasser wrote in a note.Home Depot also plans to continue to increase its dividend payout and buy back shares.4. Walgreen (沃尔格林);Walgreen (WAG - News) moved up two places to the No. 4 slot, as it continued to open stores and make acquisitions.In 2009, Walgreen opened its 7,000 location and its first store in Alaska, giving the drugstore a presence in all 50 states. It also purchased 25 Snyder's Drug Stores in Minnesota, a dozen Eaton's Apothecary locations in Boston and 257 Duane Reade units in New York. These acquisitions helped boost Walgreen's sales 7.3%The $618 million acquisition of Duane Reade will help Walgreen in its move to provide a bigger fresh- and prepared-food selection in stores. Prior to the buyout, Duane Reade was well on its way to launching its DR Delish -- a broader selection of food offerings that includes fresh salads and frozen desserts.Walgreen is also making strides in its pharmacy business, going directly to companies and government agencies to provide prescription medications for employees.3. Target (塔吉特);Target (TGT - News) moved up two notches in NRF's ranking to claim the No. 3 spot.The discounter has been making headway with its PFresh grocery segment, which generated 16% of its $63.4 billion in sales in 2009. The company plans to have more than 450 of its stores with the PFresh assortment and presentation by the end of the third quarter.Target has also seen strength in sales of discretionary merchandise like apparel and home goods.2. Kroger (克罗格);Kroger (KR - News) holds on to its No. 2 ranking, and is expected to hold up better against pressure from discounters than other traditional grocers.The grocery sector has been facing increasing competition from discounters like Target and Wal-Mart, which have been steadily growing their food selection. At its shareholder meeting last week, Kroger's CEO Dave Dillon said the company is strengthening its customer loyalty.Looking ahead, Kroger expects full-year earnings in the range of $1.60 to $1.80 per share, and foresees same-store sales growing between 2% and 3%.The board of directors also approved the repurchase of $500 million of common stock, replacing the $225 million remaining under a $1 billion authorization announced in January 2008. It also declared a quarterly dividend of 9.5 cents to be paid on Sept. 1 to shareholders of record on Aug. 6.1. Wal-Mart (沃尔玛);Wal-Mart (WMT - News), unsurprisingly, once again ranks as the No. 1 retailer in terms of sales, according to NRF.While Wal-Mart's biggest growth opportunities have been overseas, the discount giant still says it can generate another $100 billion annually in domestic sales. One way it may do this is through the roll-out of smaller-sized stores.
