Abstract:
The role of consumers in product purchase is critical as the success of any firm depends majorly on how the brand is perceived and the intention to purchase such product. However most firms do not position their products in the minds of the consumers which consequently results to little or non-brand perception as well as non-purchase intention by consumers. This study investigated the effect of consumer brand perception variables and purchase intention of selected fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted for this study. The population of the study was 1,774,657 consumers of fast-moving consumer goods firms that reside in different local governments of the different five regions in Lagos state Nigeria, and a sample size of 499 was determined using Krejcie and Morgan. Primary source of data was adopted with a validated and instrument with a Cronbach alpha value greater than 0.7. Both descriptive and inferential tools were used for the data analysis. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the effect of the independent sub-variables on the dependent variable using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 27. The study indicated that consumer brand perception variables have significant effect on the purchase intention of selected fast-moving consumer goods firms in Lagos State, Nigeria (Adj. R2 = 0.573; F (4, 425) = 106.412, p < 0.05). The study concluded that consumer brand perception has significant effect on the purchase intention of selected fast-moving consumer goods firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study recommended that management of fast-moving consumer goods firms should prioritize developing and maintaining strong brand perception among consumers which will enhance purchase intention and firm’s profitability.

Abstract:
This study examined the ownership structure's effect on the firms' value of quoted manufacturing firms (consumer goods) in Nigeria for 2010-2018. The total numbers of quoted consumer goods firms in the Nigeria stock exchange as of 31st December 2018 were twenty-one (21). A judgmental sampling technique was used to sample nineteen (19) consumer goods firms for the study. The study sought to examine whether ownership structure proxy by managerial Ownership, Institutional Ownership, foreign Ownership, and ownership concentration affect firms' values of quoted consumer goods in Nigeria. Data were collected from secondary sources through the annual reports and accounts of sampled consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study adopted a panel regression technique as a tool of analysis. The result showed a negative effect of managerial ownership on firm value. While institutional Ownership, foreign Ownership, and Ownership concentration all positively affect the firm value of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Therefore, the study recommends that the numbers of shares held by management should be reduced to increase the firm value of the listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria.

Abstract:
The study investigated the effect of financial leverage on firm values of listed Consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to examine the effect of debt ratio, debt to equity ratio, interest coverage ratio, debt to EBITDA ratio, and debt to capital ratio (which are proxies for financial leverage) on firm values (proxied by market capitalization) of listed Consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study adopted ex-post facto research design and secondary data were extracted from the annual reports of sampled Consumer goods firms in Nigeria for the period 2013 – 2022. The panel regression and correlation analysis were used for data analysis. Findings showed that debt ratio has a non-significant negative effect on the market capitalization of Consumer goods firms in Nigeria, Debt to equity ratio has a non-significant negative effect on the market capitalization of Consumer goods firms in Nigeria, interest coverage ratio has a non-significant positive effect on the market capitalization of Consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Debt to EBITDA ratio and Debt to capital ratio have a significant positive effect on the market capitalization of Consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The implication of the findings is that the financial leverage ratios studied have a significant effect on the firm value of the Consumer goods companies in Nigeria. The study concluded that financial leverage ratios have a significant effect on firm value in the sector. The study recommended that firms in the Consumer goods sector should ensure that the proportion of leverage to equity should be properly managed and controlled to prevent the result of diminishing effects on their firm’s value.

Abstract:
Consumer movement is a universal phenomenon. The goods or services available may be in abundance or in short supply, but the position of the consumer is weak, in relation to the seller. Sellers want customers, as buyers and not as complainants. The frustration and bitterness on the part of consumers, who have been promised much is indeed great, but they realise less. It can be due to the existence of sellers’ market, where consumers are voiceless. There are many practices whereby consumers are not only being denied their basic rights but are being deceived too. A consumer is an individual who consumes goods, manufactured by firms or created by nature (air, water etc.) and services offered by government hospital, educational institutions etc.

Abstract:
Consumers play a vital role in the success of organizations as their purchasing decision can have a significant impact on the organisation's performance. Therefore, it is important for organizations to maintain a positive brand perception in the minds of consumers. This can be achieved through excellent customer service. However, poor consumer brand perception could lead to a decline in purchase decision leading to low sales and possible organizational failure. This study investigated the effect of consumer brand perception variables and purchase decision of selected fast-moving consumer goods (FMCGs) firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study was 1,774,657 consumers of fast-moving consumer goods firms that reside in different local governments of the different five regions in Lagos state Nigeria, and a sample size of 499 was determined using Krejcie and Morgan. The data was collected using a valid and reliable questionnaire with a Cronbach alpha value greater than 0.7. Both descriptive and inferential tools were used for the data analysis. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine the effect of the variables using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 27. The study revealed that consumer brand perception variables have significant effect on the purchase decision of selected fast-moving consumer goods firms in Lagos State, Nigeria (Adj. R2 = 0.426; F (4, 425) = 59.236, p < 0.05). The study concluded that consumer brand perception has significant effect on the purchase decision of selected fast-moving consumer goods firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. It is recommended that management should invest in creating and maintaining strong brand perception among consumers to positively influence their purchase decisions. This can be achieved by developing effective branding and marketing strategies that focus on building brand awareness, attractiveness, positioning, associations, and image.

Abstract:
This study assesses the impact of monetary policy on the financial performance of the listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study uses the purposive sampling technique and elimination method to determine the considered listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria from 2012 to 2023 and analyzed the impact of monetary policy variables of interest rates and inflation rate on the financial performance of these firms, measured by earnings per share as the indicator. Regression analysis was used to analyze the data. The results specifically show that changes in interest rate have a positive significant influence on the financial performance of listed consumer goods firms while changes in inflation rate have no significant influence on the financial performance of listed consumer goods firms. The study recommends the implementation of interest rate policies by the monetary authority that will balance stability and economic growth knowing the positive impact on the financial performance of the consumer goods firms.

Abstract:
The study examined the effect of intellectual capital on the financial performance of listed consumer and industrial goods firms in Nigeria from 2013 to 2022. The population of the study consisted of thirty-two (32) listed consumer and industrial goods firms on the Nigeria Exchange Group, from which a sample twenty-six (26) firms was chosen using the purposive sampling technique. The study used secondary data that was taken from the companies'financial statements, and it employed a longitudinal panel research design. The results showed that capital employed by the listed consumer and industrial goods firms in Nigeria has a positive and significant effect on the financial performance. However, the study found that human capital has no significant effect on the financial performance of listed consumer and industrial goods firms, while structural capital has a negative but significant effect on the financial performance. The study recommends that listed consumer and industrial goods firms should strategically invest to optimize capital employed as this will improve the financial performance.

Abstract:
The study examined the effect of liquidity management on the financial performance of Nigerian consumer goods manufacturing firms. The study adopted an ex-post facto research design. The study depends wholly on secondary data collected from the annual report of 10 listed consumer goods manufacturing firms on the Nigerian Exchange Group (NEG) from 2018 to 2022. The dependent variable for the study is financial performance which was proxies as return on asset while the independent variables are cash and cash equivalent, cash conversion cycle, quick ratio, current ratio and working capital were as the dependent variable. Panel analysis was used in the study. E-views 12 statistical package was used to analyze the data. The study discovered that cash and cash equivalents exert positive and significant impact on financial performance of consumer goods firms, that there is negative and significant relationship between cash conversion cycle and financial performance of consumer goods in Nigeria, that there is negative and no significant relationship between quick ratio and financial performance of consumer goods firms in Nigeria, that there is positive and significant impact of current ratio on financial performance of consumer goods firms in Nigeria, that there is positive and significant impact of working capital on financial performance of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study concluded that liquidity management significantly affects the financial performance of Nigerian consumer goods manufacturing firms. The study recommended that management reduce the magnitude at which they use up cash and its equivalent in settling their short-term obligations to improve their profitability.

Abstract:
The study investigated corporate governance and financial performance of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study were to examine the relationship between board size, board independence, board meetings, and return on assets of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study adopted ex-post facto research design and secondary data were extracted from the annual reports of sampled consumer goods firms for the period 2013 – 2022. Correlation technique was used for the test of hypotheses. Findings showed that, board size does not have a strong relationship with return on assets (ROA) of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria with correlation coefficient of -0.3815. On the other hand, board independence does not have a strong relationship with return on assets (ROA) of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria with correlation coefficient of 0.2753. However, board meetings do not have a strong relationship with return on assets (ROA) of listed consumer goods firms in Nigeria with correlation coefficient of -0.3904. This implies that none of the corporate governance mechanism studied can be influence return on assets of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study recommended that rather than solely increasing board size, consumer goods firms should prioritize diversity and the expertise of board members. Directors should possess skills and experience that align with the industry's specific needs. Achieving a balance between independent and non-independent directors is crucial. While board independence is important for governance, it should not impede industry-specific knowledge. Companies should strengthen board oversight mechanisms, utilizing robust audit committees and reporting structures to maintain independence while promoting industry expertise. The focus should be on the quality of board meetings rather than a specific number.

Abstract:
This study investigated the relationship between audit market concentration, auditor attributes, and audit quality of quoted consumer goods firms in Nigeria. A purposive sampling technique was used to select five (5) quoted consumer goods firms that consistently published their annual reports from 2012 to 2020. Secondary data were sourced from annual reports of the selected quoted consumer goods in Nigeria. Data collected were analyzed using the pooled regression least square estimation technique. The result of the study revealed that audit market concentration exerts a positive and significant effect on the audit quality of quoted consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The result also indicates that the auditor’s independence positively and significantly impacts audit quality. In contrast, the auditor’s tenure has an insignificant positive effect on the audit quality of quoted consumer goods firms in Nigeria. Based on these findings, this study concludes that audit market concentration and auditor attributes improve audit quality of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study, therefore, recommends that firms ensure frequent auditor rotation to limit the chances of auditor-client over-familiarity which will jeopardize independence and reduce audit quality.

Abstract:
A competitividade no mercado de bens de consumo não duráveis vem aumentando nos últimos anos. Empresas que atuam neste segmento enfrentam, a cada dia, maiores dificuldades para diferenciar seus produtos frente a seus concorrentes. O novo cenário competitivo fez com que as indústrias entendessem a importância dos clientes que distribuem seus produtos ao consumidor final, sejam eles varejistas ou atacadistas e distribuidores. A construção de uma boa relação comercial com tais elementos da cadeia produtiva tornou-se um dos principais diferenciais competitivos para as indústrias do mercado de bens de consumo. Em especial, tornou-se importante as estratégias adotadas para atuação dentro dos pontos de venda, local onde efetivamente são realizadas as compras dos produtos. Para suprir de forma adequada estas novas necessidades mercadológicas, as empresas também tiveram que modificar suas estruturas organizacionais. Estas mudanças fizeram surgir uma nova área dentro das organizações denominada: TRADE MARKETING. O Trade Marketing surge com o objetivo de conseguir unificar as estratégias construídas pelas áreas de marketing e sua efetiva implementação dentro do ponto de venda. As estratégias construídas são implementadas pelas áreas de vendas, as quais muitas vezes não estão de acordo com as mesmas. O Trade Marketing surge para tentar diminuir o distanciamento entre a área de vendas e a área de marketing. A presente pesquisa buscou identificar quais fatores colaboram e quais dificultam a adequação estratégica da área de Trade Marketing dentro das organizações. Através da utilização do ferramental de análise estratégica Genérico Integrativo de Macedo- Soares (2001) o autor realiza uma pesquisa com executivos do setor de maneira a encontrar os atributos que garantam a adequação da área de Trade Marketing à estratégia de suas empresas.<br>Competition in the non-durable consumer goods market has been growing apace in recent years, and companies that operate in this segment have been finding it increasingly difficult to differentiate their products from those of their competitors. The new competitive scenario has made industries realize the importance of customers who distribute their products to the final consumer, whether they be retailers (supermarkets, drugstores, convenience stores) or wholesalers and distributors. Having a good commercial relationship with these elements of the production chain now constitutes a major competitive differential for industries in the mass consumer goods market. Operational strategies at points of sale - where product purchases effectively occur - have become particularly important. In order to fulfill these new market needs, firms have also been obliged to modify their organizational structures. These changes have led to the appearance of a new area in organizations, known as TRADE MARKETING. Trade Marketing’s aim is to unify strategies developed by marketing areas and effectively implement them at points of sale. These strategies are implemented by sales areas and the latter do not always agree with strategies proposed by marketing areas, as they are not aligned with customer expectations. Trade Marketing’s function is to bring sales and marketing areas closer together. Despite this new area’s growing strategic importance, there are few scientific studies devoted to this theme. The present research sought to identify the factors that facilitate or hinder the Trade Marketing area’s strategic fit. Using Macedo Soares’ (2001) Generic Integrative model for strategic analysis, the author performed a survey of executives of the sector in order to discover a list of attributes that assure the strategic fit of their companies’ Trade Marketing areas.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis applies a standardization/adaptation framework (SA) to explore the strategies of Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) firms in the Greek market. This market is transformed into an 'international' one during the tourist season due to an influx of 15 millions of tourists from several, primarily European, countries. Extant research has not addressed how FMCG firms may respond to this market transformation; whether they standardize their offering across the 'native' and tourist population (and within the tourist population from different countries) or they adapt their offerings. Despite the growing importance of international tourism and despite tourism being a major driver of globalisation, there is no empirical evidence showcasing how a beer, an ice cream or a shampoo seller market their products to the plethora of nationalities visiting their country of operation. The purpose of this research, therefore, is to gain, for the first time, a deeper understanding on how FMCG firms -both MNE subsidiaries and local entities- serve the needs of mobile consumers of FMCGs in a tourism estimation. Greece is chosen as the field of study since in this country, the contextual idiosyncrasies of such polyethnic markets are clearly evident. The research adopts the interpretive paradigm, a realist orientation and case studies as the most fitting methodology for the research questions. Multiple sources of evidence were utilized, focusing primarily on personal interviews with key managers in 14 organizations. Findings suggest that the impact of tourism is two-fold and that there is a mixture of SA strategies implemented by firms. These strategies are driven by such factors as organizational features of each firm, internationalizing outlook of firms or perceived tourists' quest for experimentation/familiarity. The contingency approach is supported indicating that deployed strategies along the SA continuum rest upon oftenneglected idiosyncrasies ofthe market and upon firm-specific considerations. The contribution of the research to international business/marketing and tourism literatures is explicitly stressed and it is pinpointed that implications for FMCG firms and public authorities in such environments are worth-noting. The study concludes with highlighting the limitations of the study and the avenues that call for closer scrutiny and greater illumination as a result ofthe findings of this study

Full text
Abstract:
This study offers an in-depth account of how, when and why consumers engage with films as brands, using 38 exploratory, semi-structured consumer interviews and 1030 consumer survey responses. Extant film branding literature is scarce, dominated by filmmakers' and marketers' perspectives of films as brands and is confined to exploring points of parity associations films have as brands, rather than ways films may differentiate themselves as brands. Taking on a consumer centric view, our findings show although filmmakers, production houses and marketers may jointly develop and market films with the vision of becoming brands, this doesn't necessarily guarantee consumers' engagement with such films as brands. Instead, consumers initially evaluate the coherency of a film's identity and subsequently go on to engage with films as brands, a process which is fully mediated by the emotional bonding a consumer may develop for a film and partially mediated by a film's popularity and sequels. Films' marketing/franchising efforts, iconic status and sense of timelessness moderate consumer-film brand engagement, resulting in positive word of mouth and purchase intention. Our sequential, consolidated and specified film brand engagement framework guides filmmakers and marketers on how to tactically engage consumers with their films as brands, in order to differentiate themselves within this risky and competitive market.

Abstract:
Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, 2002.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 84-87).<br>The Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry has existed for decades with a high household penetration. Individual firms started out as small family owned businesses and then gradually became more "industrialized" via acquisitions. Historically, a low capital cost of entry, as well as high geographic dispersion encouraged fragmentation of competition. Overcapacity encouraged product proliferation; relatively low profitability produced little innovation, reducing the overall loyalty of consumers to CPG products today. Consumer habits changed quickly with the introduction of new offerings, further pressuring CPG manufacturers. A key CPG issue today is how to reduce cost base and overcapacity to enable investment in innovation, and branding. Cost reduction is expected from simplification (SKU's, products, lines etc), capacity consolidation, and a reduction in the fixed cost component of production. It is the belief that value creating innovation in the industry will enable the CPG industry to regain relevance and loyalty with the consumer while being more efficient (reducing costs), and enabling the investment necessary to sustain profitable growth. The annual organic growth in the CPG industry ranges between 2-6%. This thesis analyzes the effects of technology on marketing, as a value creating catalyst for profitable growth. The analysis starts with a review of the frameworks on strategy proposed by Hax, evolutions in consumer shopping behavior by Falk, as well as developments in technology based marketing by Coviello. The thesis further reviews practical technology applications currently in the CPG field. The consumer survey section in the thesis evaluates three technology device concepts (FAST LANE, PRODUCT GPS, and AUTO REORDER) that were developed using technology lead-users. The information presented and conclusions argued in this thesis suggest that the technology device concepts have a strong value creating effect in marketing and on the business; a benefit that is appropriated to the consumer, the retailer, and the CPG manufacturer. The final pillar in the survey is an interview with two major retailers in the Boston area that validate the potential and willingness to implement such mutually value creating programs.<br>by Roger V.

<p>The aim of this study was to find a connection between changes in societies and changes in semantic prototypes by examining the prototypes of ‘fruit’ and ‘car’ among Slovenes that reached adulthood in Yugoslavia and Slovenes that that reached adulthood in the Republic of Slovenia and to compare those results with a control group of native English speakers. The results of the study suggests that in some aspects, the prototypes of ‘fruit’ and ‘car’ amongyounger Slovenes have moved closer to what they are in cultures that have a long history of capitalism and consumerism. The opinions about how good an example of a ‘fruit’ a banana is, is the best example of this. Younger Slovenes and the control group see it as a very good example, while older Slovenes rated it lower. The older Slovenes were also slightly more accepting of a very small car model being a good example of a ‘car’, than both younger Slovenes and the control group were.</p>

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Eng. in Logistics)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, 2012.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 90-92).<br>CPGCo, a global manufacturer of consumer packaged goods, has had tremendous difficulty in producing accurate forecasts for its products in developing markets. The problem was especially apparent during the global economic crisis in 2008, which caused demand for its products to become highly volatile. Its troubles have been aggravated by its long forecasting horizon, as it has not been able to adjust quickly enough to rapid market shifts due to fluctuations in various macroeconomic indicators. As a result, CPGCo faces heavy stockouts and excess inventories. This thesis explores the suitability of using macroeconomic indicators to forecast consumer demand for three developing countries in Asia as well as three separate product segments. A total of 27 macroeconomic models are constructed using stepwise multiple linear regression analysis employing three separate dependent variables: the firm's monthly wholesale shipment volume, retail market share by volume, and retail sales. The world oil price and country-specific exchange rates, stock indexes, interest rates, consumer price indexes, and consumer confidence indicators are used as independent variables. With our models, we are capable of producing extremely accurate forecasts for a small sample set with errors at or below 7.2%. Our findings also indicate that the consumer price index has the most influence on consumer demand, appearing in 81% of our models; thus, we recommend that CPGCo tracks the consumer price index of each country to complement its current forecasting processes.<br>by Jonathan Mau and Bryan P.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter discusses the theories of demand and supply, including the factors affecting the demand for commodities (the price of the commodity itself, the incomes of consumers, the price of competitive (or substitute) goods, the price of complementary goods, and the tastes of consumers) as well as the factors affecting supply (the price of the good, the prices of other goods that firms could produce or do produce, the prices of factors of production, the state of technology, and the goals/objectives of firms). The significance of the price and income elasticities of demand to the agricultural sector is highlighted.

Abstract:
Abstract Many companies have followed the trend toward exposing their business assets through open (i.e., Web) application programming interfaces (APIs). However, these firms appear to have adopted API technology largely to meet their customers’ needs and demands. The pressures on industries to develop, implement, and maintain API products and services can prevent companies from gaining a greater awareness of API development’s benefits. Firms may thus miss out on related monetary or non-monetary exploitation of their business assets. This study explored the status of the API economy and development among Finnish industries. The dataset comprised publicly available information from 226 private and public organizations representing a variety of industries, such as industrial, consumer goods, and services sectors. The current status of API readiness, types, protocols, and monetization models is presented to provide a more comprehensive overview.

Abstract:
The erosion of trust has put pressure on corporations to improve their performance. Due to widespread corporate scandals and failures around the world, there has been a renewed interest in the effect of corporate governance on firm performance. This study investigated the effect of corporate governance dimensions particularly board size and ownership concentration on performance and market share of selected listed companies in Nigeria. The study utilized secondary data for fifteen companies from the Financial Services, Consumer Goods and Industrial Goods Sectors of the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period of 2014 to 2019. For data analysis, the study adopted the ordinary least multiple regression analysis. The study found that as board size and ownership concentration increase, ROE decreases. However, the study found that, to a significant extent, market share of listed firms in Nigeria increases as both board size and ownership concentration increase. This study concluded that board size and ownership concentration do not have significant effect on return on equity (ROE) of listed firms in Nigeria. Also, it concluded that board size and ownership concentration has significant effect on market share of listed firms in Nigeria. Although without significant effect, the study specifically found that as board size increases, return on equity (ROE) of listed firms in Nigeria decreases and as ownership concentration increases, ROE of listed companies in Nigeria also decreases.The study recommended that the board of the companies should always be of a size relative to the scale of its operation, allow for diversity and formation of necessary board committees in order to improve performance. Also, board of directors should ensure that ownership concentration is not too high even as board of the companies needs to ensure that they continuously subject themselves to ownership diversity and board size appropriateness in order for the business to be profitable and increase market share.

Abstract:
Rapid responsiveness to diverse customer needs is considered a competitive advantage in manufacturing business. To shrink the inquiry-to-order process, manufacturing firms will benefit a lot from building a product configuration system (PCS) which is the enabler of mass customisation (MC). PCS has matured in consumer businesses for decades but in capital goods industries, typically operating in engineer-to-order (ETO) manner, things differ a lot. It is for the reason that conventional PCS is incapable of extending customisation from order-delivery processes to the design/engineering phase. Cloud manufacturing, which is an emerging service-oriented manufacturing paradigms enabled by cyber-physical system, the Internet of Things and the Internet of Service, is promising to break the bottleneck of “ETO PCS” by the provision of technical infrastructure for product, service and data customisation. With the introducing of manufacturing-as-a-service (MaaS) concept, a product family is extended to a product-service family (PSF) in this paper for implementing in-depth product configuration process with scalable customisation depth (i.e., the degree of customisation freedom). Additionally, an approach of service delegation in product configuration process is proposed to support customer-centric product customisation. At last, the methodology proposed in this paper is validated by a case study in which the product configuration process of a complex ETO product is performed.

Abstract:
The material needs of the population are largely met by retail, and the degree of satisfaction of these needs expressed by the demand of buyers of material goods depends largely on the ability of buyers to choose and procure their favorite goods. This possibility depends on the degree of diversity and the structure of the supply of goods in the retail network, which must correspond to the structure of consumer needs and the solvent demand of buyers. This correspondence can only be achieved by ensuring the management of the commercial assortment of goods. Like any other, the management of the commercial assortment of goods is carried out by performing a series of functions, including specific ones, the nomenclature and the content of which are not yet determined in the specialized literature. The purpose of this work is to complete the nomenclature and specify the nominations of the specific functions of the management system of the commercial assortment of consumer goods, to formulate the definitions and to elaborate the contents of the specific functions of regulation - forecasting -normation of the optimal commercial assortment of consumer goods. The research is performed using scientific methods: observation, comparative analysis, co relational analysis, analogy, induction and deduction, prediction, extrapolation, generalization, expertise, didactic and practical experience, etc., orienting us to the standards regarding the management of the quality of the production in the spheres of production and circulation and to the specialized literature. In the work we present the specified or premiere nominations and the extended version of the nomenclature of the specific functions of the management of the commercial assortment of consumer goods in the retail trade network. For the first time, we present the definitions, contents (purposes, tasks and elements) and areas of application of the specific functions of regulation - forecasting - normation of the optimal commercial assortment of consumer goods of the management of the commercial assortment of consumer goods.

Full text
Abstract:
Crime and the durability of goods are strongly connected issues. However, surprisingly, they have been studied separately. This paper explores the relationship between the production of durable goods and crime from a theoretical perspective and draws important conclusions for both topics. Crime affects the consumer and producer surplus and thus the behavior of consumers, firms, the market equilibrium, and, in turn, the social optimum. Lower durability of goods reduces the incentive to steal those goods, thus reducing crime. When crime is included in the standard framework of durable goods, the socially optimal durability level is lower. Even without considering the negative non-market externalities of crime, perfect competition does not provide the optimal durability level. When considering different stealing technologies, perfect competition either over-produces durability or produces zero (minimum) durability. The monopolist under-produces durability regardless of the stealing technology considered. If all the crime externalities are taken into account, the socially optimal durability level is reduced further and gets closer to that which prevails under monopoly. The model has a clear policy implication: the durability of goods, and the market structure for those goods, can be an effective instrument to reduce crime. In particular, making the durability of a good contingent upon that good being stolen is likely to increase welfare.

Full text
Abstract:
The incomplete pass-through of exchange rates to prices is a well-documented phenomenon. Firms respond optimally to exchange rate shocks by adjusting margins and buying inputs from regions with more advantageous terms of trade. Consumers, in turn, substitute goods that become more expensive for relatively cheaper goods after an exchange rate shock. We use data from the market for new cars in Colombia to empirically analyze the determinants of incomplete pass- through after a large depreciation of the local currency. We estimate a structural oligopoly model that nests the optimal reactions of firms and consumers to as- sess their relative importance in explaining the lack of response of retail prices to the exchange rate shock. We find that, in relative terms, the most important factor explaining incomplete pass-through is consumer substitution, followed by strategic interaction between sellers.

Full text
Abstract:
Security concerns in a context of increasingly segmented supply chains haveled to stricter border control measures, which may potentially negatively affect international trade. Customs around the world have therefore implemented security-motivated certification programs to facilitate licit trade. These programs offer trustworthy trading firms, i.e., Authorized Economic Operators (AEOs), several advantages in the administrative processing of their shipments including less frequent physical inspections and expedited customs clearance. In this study we focus on Mexico's AEO Program NEEC. In particular, we evaluate the impact of this program by primarily carrying out differences-in-differences estimations on highly disaggregated firm-level data that cover the entire universe of export and import transactions of the country over the period 2009-2014. Estimation results suggest that NEEC has been associated with less physical inspections and shorter clearance times and has thereby favored increased firms' exports. Effects seem to be stronger on the frequency of shipments and on consumer goods, industrial inputs, and capital goods.

Full text
Abstract:
Although consumers often care about environmental quality, limited attention impairs consumers’ perception of environmental quality. Environmental awards and labels make environmental quality salient and attract consumers’ attention. We analyze how awards and labels affect firms’ investments in environmental quality and social welfare. We show that, with an award, both firms invest in environmental quality; with a label, only one firm invests. Under awards, investments depend positively on salience. Under labels, investments depend non-monotonically on salience. A welfare-maximizing social planner prefers awards over labels if and only if marginal damage and salience are sufficiently high such that consumers overestimate the environmental quality of the goods.

Pérez, Alex, and Juan Sebastián Vélez-Velásquez. Price Dispersion and Wholesale Costs Shocks in the Colombian Retail Gasoline Markets. Banco de la República Colombia, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.32468/be.1220.

Full text
Abstract:
Price dispersion is a prevalent feature even of markets where, arguably, homogeneous good are traded. At the heart of the causes of price dispersion lie the firms' strategic interactions with their customers and rivals. Consumers' eagerness and ability to search for lower prices tends to reduce dispersion because it enhances competition. Firms inability to sustain tacit collusion, on the other hand, increases price dispersion. Wholesale costs shock can impact both. We use data on retail gasoline markets from Colombia to assess whether changes in price dispersion following wholesale cost shocks are explained by consumer searching or by firms breaking away from collusive equilibria. We also explore the role played by market structure on the extent of price dispersion. Our findings suggest that changes in price dispersion following wholesale cost shocks are driven by consumers searching more intensely for lower prices. We also find a positive relationship between the number of service stations in a market and how disperse prices are. Our results are robust to alternative ways of measuring price dispersion and alternative ways of defining relevant markets.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic generated a large negative external shock to the global economy. Businesses worldwide were affected by economic, health, and mobility restrictions that impacted consumers ability to access goods and services and firms profitability and survival rates. In this paper, we study the economic performance of Latin American MSMEs during the pandemic using disaggregated and high-frequency administrative banking deposits and income data from Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Paraguay, and Peru. We observe a sharp short-term decline in firm earnings due to the implementation of lockdowns during the second half of March 2020. We show this decline had a heterogeneous impact by economic sector, firm size, and transaction type (in-person vs. online). Focusing on financial technology adoption by studying the migration from in-person to online banking transactions, we find that MSMEs managed to recover revenues to pre-pandemic levels in early 2021 thanks to an increased share of online transactions and that industries facing higher physical exposure to the public (e.g., retailers) experienced a more considerable decline and a slower recovery.
