Promoting rural entrepreneurship is a necessary step to limit the negative effects of classical agricultural policy based on a linear process and attracting secondary resources to the economic process. The analysis of agricultural policy and rural development in conjunction to entrepreneurship in terms of production may represent a further step in understanding the role and importance of diversifying the rural potentials in contemporary economies. The Handbook of Research on Agricultural Policy, Rural Development, and Entrepreneurship in Contemporary Economies is an essential publication of academic research that examines agricultural policy and its impact on shaping future resilient economy in rural areas and identifies green business models and new business patterns in rural communities. Covering a range of topics such as entrepreneurship, product management, and marketing, this book is ideal for researchers, policymakers, academicians, economists, agriculture professionals, rural developers, business investors, and students.
Due to various events, the availability of goods in retail is currently increasingly being restricted with the result that customers cannot find in food retail (FR) the products they wish to purchase because those products are sold out or not availa-ble for delivery. This situation is also termed Out of Stock (OoS). The reasons for the unavailability of products are often problems in connection with orders for goods, as well as the shelf-filling process within a store. According to literature, in those cases where a customer faces an OoS situation, the customer may postpone the purchase, purchase an alternate product, purchase the product in another store or not purchase at all. Depending on...
What is activism? The answer is, typically, that it is a form of opposition, often expressed on the streets. Skoglund and Böhm argue differently. They identify forms of 'insider activism' within corporations, state agencies and villages, showing how people seek to transform society by working within the system, rather than outright opposing it. Using extensive empirical data, Skoglund and Böhm analyze the transformation of climate activism in a rapidly changing political landscape, arguing that it is time to think beyond the tensions between activism and enterprise. They trace the everyday renewable energy actions of a growing 'epistemic community' of climate activists who are dispersed across organizational boundaries and domains. This book is testament to a new way of understanding activism as an organizational force that brings about the transition towards sustainability across business and society and is of interest to social science scholars of business, renewable energy and sustainable development.
In the next few years, it is expected that most businesses will have transitioned to the use of electronic commerce technologies, namely e-commerce. This acceleration in the acceptance of e-commerce not only changes the face of business and retail, but also has introduced new, adaptive business models. The experience of consumers in online shopping and the popularity of the digital marketplace have changed the way businesses must meet the needs of consumers. To stay relevant, businesses must develop new techniques and strategies to remain competitive in a changing commercial atmosphere. The way in which e-commerce is being implemented, the business models that have been developed, and the ap...
Aufgrund verschiedener Ereignisse wird die Warenverfügbarkeit im Handel derzeit vermehrt eingeschränkt, was dazu führt, dass Kunden beim Einkauf im Lebensmitteleinzelhandel (LEH) gewünschte Produkte nicht vorfinden, da diese ausverkauft oder nicht lieferbar sind. Diese Situation wird auch als Out-of-Stock (OoS) bezeichnet. Die Gründe für die Nichtverfügbarkeit von Produkten sind häufig Probleme im Zusammenhang mit Warenbestellungen sowie dem Verräumprozess innerhalb der Filiale. Der Literatur zufolge bestehen bei der Konfrontation des Kunden mit OoS die Möglichkeiten, dass dieser den Einkauf zeitlich verschiebt, ein Alternativprodukt erwirbt, das Produkt in einer anderen Filiale od...
Obwohl Konsumenten positive Einstellungen gegenüber nachhaltigem Konsum zu haben scheinen, spiegelt sich das nicht in ihrem Kaufverhalten wieder. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Gründen, die hinter dem sogenannten Attitude-Behaviour Gap stehen. Anschließend wird das Konzept des Sustainable Marketings erläutert. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf dem Sustainable Positioning und dem Sustainable Marketing Mix. Auf Grundlage dieser Konzepte stellt sich die Arbeit der Aufgabe, theoretische Handlungsmöglichkeiten zu entwickeln, die einen Beitrag zur Schließung des Attitude-Behaviour Gap leisten können. Diese werden beispielhaft aufgezeigt und anschließend diskutiert, wobei mögliche Limitationen offenbart werden. Die Arbeit kommt zu dem Schluss, dass der Attitude-Behaviour Gap ein hoch komplexes Phänomen ist, welches nicht einfach nur mit Hilfe einer Marketingstrategie zu lösen ist und es womöglich vieler weiterer sozioökonomischer Faktoren bedarf, um Konsumenten von einem nachhaltigen Lebensstil und dem tatsächlichen Konsum nachhaltiger Produkte zu überzeugen.
