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

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

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

The Centre's international guest researcher, Dr. George Maglaras, comments on resilience in the retail sector and, with examples from the grocery sector, illustrates how we must learn to live with the contemporary disruptions we have been experiencing.

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.

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.

This transformation is a natural part of business, but the challenge lies in how w

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.

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.
