2 | Buying and Merchandising | EBE042A05 |
In B-to-C markets, such as the grocery, foodservice and drug channel, about 60-80% of the total costs are variable costs (cost of goods sold). Therefore, the buying function is of strategic importance of retailers. But how do these retailers manage an assortment of 10.000 - 50.000 articles in a consistent way, e.g. in line with the retailers positioning? In this process most retailers use a category management approach to manage product groups as well as working together with their main suppliers. In this course we will address issues with regard to the buying process and how retailers and manufacturers can work together to create mutual value as well as consumer value. |

10 | Positioning and Branding EMBA Food and Retail | EBE040B05 |
For many companies the brand is considered as most valuable asset of a firm. A Coca-Cola executive once stated: “The reason Coca-Cola is so valuable is because of the ideas, perceptions, and expectations about the brand that consumers all over the world carry around in their heads. If the company were to lose all its production-related assets in a disaster, it would still survive because of the brand; but if all consumers were to have a sudden lapse of memory and forget everything related to Coca-Cola, the company would go out of business.” In this course, particular emphasis is placed on understanding psychological principles at the customer level that will improve managerial decision-making regarding brands. Topics that will be addressed are the positioning process, how brand associations are formed in the mind of the consumer and how brand associations can be monitored and how brands are built in a world that combines offline with online communication. |
