Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited
Several major United States retailers have suffered large-scale thefts of payment card information as the result of intrusions against point-of-sale systems (smart cash registers). Point-of-sale attacks present a growing threat and can constitute a homeland-security problem due to a trans-national cyber crime element. This thesis presents results of a survey of point-of-sale intrusions that reached at least the start of criminal investigation. The survey showed that attacks were generally quite simple, and predominantly involved guessing passwords and subsequent installation of keyboard loggers. That suggests that countermeasures can be relatively simple although they must overcome organizational inertia. Our analysis leads to several recommendations to improve point-of-sale system security.

Nike Always Available (AA) is a significant global business unit within Nike that allows retail customers to purchase athletic essentials at weekly replenishment intervals and 95% availability. However, demand fluctuations and current forecasting processes have resulted in frequent stock-outs and inventory surpluses, which in turn affect revenue, profitability, and brand trust. Potential root causes for demand fluctuations have included: -- Erratic customer behavior, including unplanned promotional events, allocation of open-to- buy dollars for futures (i.e., contract) versus replenishment (i.e., AA), and product inventory loading to protect from anticipated stock-outs; -- Lack of incentives and accountability to encourage accurate forecasting by customers. Current forecasting processes, which utilize historical sell-in data (i.e., product sold to retail customers) were found to be significantly inaccurate - 100% MAPE. The goal of this project was to develop a more accurate forecast based on historical sell-through data (i.e., product sold to consumers), which were recently made available. Forecast error was drastically reduced using the new forecasting method - 35% MAPE. A pilot was initiated with a major retail customer in order to test the new forecast model and determine the effects of a more transparent ordering partnership. The pilot is ongoing at the time of thesis completion.

Abstract:

Problem: Our opinion is that it is important to consider about usability in system development. In this thesis we will focus on usability in point-of-sale systems. The point-of-sale system we base this thesis on is Extenda Retail. Our case study is performed on Ica Kvantum in Bromölla, which implemented Extenda Retail about two years ago. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to figure out what important factors there are to consider, in usability aspects, when developing point-of-sale systems, with focus on the cashier. We also wish to find out the cashiers opinions about the Extenda Retail system. Method: The information gathered for this thesis consists of literature and interviews. All the information has been studied and analyzed. Result: We have reached the conclusion that the end users consider Extenda Retail to be a good point-of-sale system in usability aspects. It also shows that the guidelines we have chosen, with minor modifications, supports development of point-of-sale systems.

Abstract:

Thesis (Masters Diploma (Electrical Engineering) -- Cape Technikon, Cape Town,1991
The main reason for this project was "import replacement", as all our existing Point of Sale and Electronic Equipment had to be imported from Japan. After the Government I s steps to curb imports by placing extremely high levies on imported goods, it was decided to produce a completely local product. From past experience it was obvious that customer requirements varied greatly. This gave rise to the inception of a modular system, enabling the customer to "mix and match" modules to their requirements. The"concept is to use a HOST computer controlling a differential communications line with a maximum of 255 terminals which are all individually addressable. Each individual terminal would in turn control an internal differential communications line, called PNET, which is an acronym for "Peripheral Network". A decision was made to make all the peripherals intelligent, thereby alleviating the processor of all menial tasks. All peripherals local to the terminal would be connected to this network. The configuration can be seen graphically by refering to Figure 0-1. The communications protocol used is more sophisticated than that used for RS232 devices. The protocol has a POLL - ACKNOWLEDGE structure, where the HOST has complete control of the loop.

Abstract:

This project lists and integrates best known practices for modern systems developments, including the "ilities", systems engineering process, Lean product development, and environmental concerns. Modern complex systems require complex and intensive integration efforts. Good systems are characterized by life-cycle system properties, known as "ilities". We must focus not only on the basic functions of the system of interest but also on its quality, safety, flexibility, reconfigurability, evolvability, adaptability, modularity, interoperability, compatibility, scalability, extensibility and resilience. Systems engineering provides a process and guidelines ensuring that the system meets all the customer needs and specifications for program success. Lean product development can significantly reduce time and cost of the program by eliminating waste and optimizing processes. The effort to minimize environmental impact during the system life cycle is a social duty and should be addressed in design. Together, these disciples help to produce a complex system in a better and more efficient way. The systems built with these ideas will exceed customers' expectations and maximize their satisfaction, and be conducive to sustainable world. Quality ensures that a system performs what it is intended to do. Good quality of products can create a good brand image for the maker. Safety has been always an important factor of quality. Engineers should always strive to create more safety than the minimum required by law. A system should be flexible enough to meet various needs of users and environments. Flexibility is also known as reconfigurability, which is the ability to change into different configurations that allow the system to perform multiple functions. Evolvability, adaptability, modularity, interoperability, compatibility, scalability, and extensibility are often considered under the umbrella of flexibility, and all are important. A product should be able to change quickly in response to stimuli in our fast paced technologically changing world. It should be designed to work with changes over time, easily upgraded, and made to handle large volumes of transactions and to add more features if necessary. For some systems, the creators should think about how quickly a system can bounce back in case of unexpected disruption. Systems engineering process applies to both government and non-government programs. A program should start from a well-developed set of customer-level requirements that define the need. The requirements should be flown down to all sub systems and lower-level components. Then, the system can be implemented and verified. Prior to assembling all the components, they need to be individually tested and validated to ensure satisfaction of requirements. Lean product development offers a great potential to save 25% to 80% of program cost and time [Oppenheim, 2011, pg.358]. In the harsh global competition offering many varieties of models to meet customers' needs, short lead times for product development are the key to competitive success. The concern for the environment should be factored in from the beginning of the product development as everyone's duty. System builders should minimize the use of hazardous materials, and think about making systems and their impact sustainable. In addition, engineers need to find ecological methods for disposing of the systems. The holistic integrated and coherent approach to all above characteristics is essential to successful systems and is the subject of this report.

This thesis assesses the value to vendors of using point of sale data to predict what retailers will order from them. In particular, we look at how The Gillette Company can use point of sale data generated by two of their customers, (Wal-Mart and Target), to predict the orders of all of Gillette's customers combined. The thesis also examines the impact on forecasts of shortening and simplifying the demand planning process. By improving the forecast of orders from their customers, vendors like Gillette can reduce safety stock inventory which is held as protection against unpredictable demand.

Abstract:

The use of smart phones has changed the lifestyle of the society. Almost all kind of useful tools you can find on your smart phone. People used to buy goods every day. And for the purchase of goods they must pay. Security is very important while payment is concern. In this thesis we have designed and demonstrated a mobile phone application that can be used for a small shop or a big market. For any kind of commerce application, three different kind of entities are mostly involved: the customer, the sales person, and the management of the shop. Our designed mobile application has three different interfaces for three different kind of users: Manager Interface, Employee Interface, and Customer Interface. An interface for the system administrator is also designed, which should be used as an desktop application on the point of sale server. This application is flexible with capabilities of different payment options. Our proposed design can be implemented in any smart phone environment for example Android, iOS or Windows phone. This design provides availability, confidentiality, and integrity of payment data.

Perrot, Kévin. "Les piles de sable Kadanoff." Phd thesis, Ecole normale supérieure de lyon - ENS LYON, 2013. http://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00856838.

Full text

Abstract:

Les modèles de pile de sable sont une sous-classe d'automates cellulaires. Bak et al. les ont introduit en 1987 comme une illustration de la notion intuitive d'auto-organisation critique.Le modèle de pile de sable Kadanoff est un système dynamique discret non-linéaire imagé par des grains cubiques se déplaçant de colonne parfaitement empilée en colonne parfaitement empilée. Pour un paramètre p fixé, une règle d'éboulement est appliquée jusqu'à atteindre une configuration stable, appelée point fixe : si la différence de hauteur entre deux colonnes consécutives est strictement supérieure à p, alors p grains chutent de la colonne de gauche, un retombant sur chacune des p colonnes adjacentes sur la droite.A partir d'une règle locale simple, décrire et comprendre le comportement macroscopique des piles de sable s'avère très rapidement compliqué. La difficulté consiste en la prise en compte simultanée des modalités discrète et continue du système : vue de loin, une pile de sable s'écoule comme un liquide ; mais de près, lorsque l'on s'attache à décrire exactement une configuration, les effets de la dynamique discrète doivent être pris en compte. Si par exemple nous ajoutons un unique grain à une configuration stable, celui-ci déclenche une avalanche qui ne modifie que la couche supérieure de la pile, mais dont la taille est très difficile à prédire car sensible au moindre changement sur la configuration.En analogie avec un sablier, nous nous intéressons en particulier à la séquence des points fixes atteints par l'ajout répété d'un nombre fini de grains à une même position, et à l'émergence de structures étonnamment régulières.Après avoir établi une conjecture sur l'émergence de motifs de vague sur les points fixes, nous nous pencherons dans un premier temps sur une procédure inductive de calcul des points fixes. Chaque étape de l'induction correspond au calcul d'une avalanche provoquée par l'ajout d'un nouveau grain, et nous en proposerons une description simple. Cette étude sera prolongée par la définition de trace des avalanches sur une colonne i, qui capture dans un mot d'un alphabet fini l'information nécessaire à la reconstitution du point fixe pour les colonnes à la droite de l'indice i. Des liens entre les traces à des indices successifs seront alors exploités, liens qui permettent de conclure l'émergence de traces régulières, pour lesquelles la reconstitution du point fixe implique la formation des motifs de vague observés. Cette première approche est concluante pour le plus petit paramètre conjecturé jusqu'ici, p=2.L'étude du cas général que nous proposons passe par la construction d'un nouveau système mêlant différentes représentations des points fixes, qui sera analysé par l'association d'arguments d'algèbre linéaire et combinatoires (liés respectivement aux modalités continue et discrète des piles de sable). Ce résultat d'émergence de régularités dans un système dynamique discret fait appel à des techniques nouvelles, dont la compréhension d'un élément de preuve reste en particulier à raffiner, ce qui permet d'envisager un cadre plus général d'appréhension de la notion d'émergence.

Abstract:

Destiny-2000 (Pvt.) Ltd. is a Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) company operating in Bangladesh which has adopted the Binary System of MLM. Binary systems are a multilevel marketing compensation plan which allows distributors to have only two front-line distributors. Everyone else goes beneath those people. The thing that determines whether one can get a commission from a person is not what level he is on, but rather how much purchase volume is generated in the levels between one and that person. Destiny-2000 has more than 130 Net offices (so called Net office which is bigger than Branch office) / Branch offices. As of 4th October 2007, the total number of distributors/ members is 1,322,361.

To make certain level of profit to keep the sales commission and incentive amount attractive for current and prospective distributors the minimum purchase volume for joining the sales network is moderately high by Bangladesh standard.

Destiny-2000 (Pvt.) Ltd. is exploring several options to attract their prospective and current members/ distributors. To this extend, the IPOS developed in this project reduces the one-time purchase burden for prospective members and allows current members to utilize their accumulated points by conveniently purchasing products from a shopping mall.

An Integrated Point of Sales (IPOS) System with Magnetic Stripe Card Reader application has developed based on shopping mall, which will be demonstrated using screen shots.

The complete system in this project, consist of several programs using Visual Studio.Net, C#, Visual Fox Pro, an SQL Database like MS SQL Server 2000, One GUI application, a set of reports using Crystal Report and magnetic stripe card reader, Point Privilege Card(PPC), Barcode Scanner etc.

Abstract:

Think about the products you repeatedly buy at the grocery store – toilet paper is probably a major item on the list, right? The European market for tissues, which includes the production of tissue paper, paper towels, toilet paper, and paper for industrial use, annually moves a turnover of around 10 billion euros a year. The European Tissue Symposium (ETS), an organization that brings together European producers, including the Portuguese Renova, estimates that the market will continue to grow at a rate of 3% per year and in emerging markets can advance more than 7% per year. Low cost products are no longer an option for Portugal, since today other can produce them even at a lower price. As a fast moving brand, pioneer in launching innovative products – antibacterial kitchen roll, black toilet paper, and wet toilet paper, – Renova is perceived different in the market and able to create consumption patterns. The company accounts for a turnover of about 130 million euros, today is present in 60 countries with 600 workers and produces about 100,000 tons of paper per year. This essay’s focus is on the point of sale, nowadays undergoing a fundamental and strategic role in the retailers’ actions, driving the creation of new retail concepts. Being one of the main contact bridges between the trademark and the consumer, it embraces direct implications on their mutual relationship. More and more companies are realizing the strategic importance of trade marketing operations. For Renova, producing an innovative, smoother and dermatological tested toilet paper is not enough; it’s necessary for the market to recognize it. Through a case study about an essential commodity available on a large scale in a mass market, this research findings demonstrate how point of sale strategies can be decisive during the purchase process when several and diverse competitors act in the same segment make almost impossible to compare prices on the spot.

Abstract:

A point-of-sale (POS) system is a transaction system allowing retail transactions to be completed. The purpose of this degree project was to examine the potential benefits and risks of implementing a POS as a cloud-based application in comparison to a traditional on-site POS solution. The main focus of this project was put on identifying the benefits and possibilities of using a cloud solution but effort was also geared towards exploring the functionality of an existing web-based POS prototype as a cloud client. A further aspect of this project was to address some of the problems associated with the use of peripheral equipment while maintaining a thin client. This has been achieved by studying cloud computing theory in modern day literature, analysing and working with traditional POS solutions and doing hands-on testing with peripheral equipment. The project results supports the notion that a cloud based POS solution is not only feasible but may perhaps provide some benefits in comparison to a traditional POS solution. However, great care must be taken, both to avoid vendor lock-in and in designing a cloud based system to allow continued operation of client and eventu-al peripheral equipment in an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or Cloud Service Provider (CSP) outage situation.
Ett Point-of-sale (POS) system är ett system som möjliggör fullförande av transaktioner. Syftet med detta examensarbetet var att undersöka möjliga fördelar och risker med att implementera ett POS system som en molnbaserad applikation i jämförelse med en traditionell POS lösning. Huvudfokus lades på att identifiera de fördelar och möjligheter en molnlösning medför men arbete riktades även mot att utforska funktionaliteten hos en existerade webbaserad POS prototyp i rollen som molnklient för detta projekt. En ytterligare aspekt var att adressera några av de problem som associeras med användandet av tredjeparts periferiutrustning tillsammans med en tunn klient. Detta har gjorts genom att studera cloud computing i modern litteratur, analysera och arbeta med traditionella POS lösningar och genom praktisk testning av periferiutrustning. Projektets slutsatser stödjer iden att en molnbaserad POS inte bara är genomförbart utan kan under vissa förhållanden medföra vissa fördelar gentemot en traditionell POS. Men, viss eftertänksamhet är på sin plats vid övervägandet att bygga och använda ett molnbaserat system för att garantera fortsatt operation av klient och periferiutrustning vid förlorad kontakt med internetleverantör och/eller molntjänstleverantör.

Abstract:

A escolha adequada de soluções para uma construção ou reforma para os clientes finais demanda informações que, apesar de aparentemente acessíveis através de sites de busca ou consulta a fabricantes, podem se mostrar complexas dependendo da escolha do sistema ou necessidade procurada dentro de uma loja. Com isso, verifica-se especificamente no setor de varejo de material de construção, vendas incorretas, incompletas, excesso ou desperdícios de materiais em obras, a situações que podem proporcionar acidentes graves. Diante deste fato, este trabalho tem como foco a proposta de um Sistema de Orientação Técnica (SOT) ao cliente do varejo de material de construção, que visa auxiliar os públicos relacionados em lojas de grande porte. Este trabalho busca auxiliar a informação na disseminação do conhecimento dentro do varejo de material de construção buscando minimizar perdas tangíveis (financeiras) e intangíveis (perdas de clientes por especificação inadequada). O estudo foi baseado na criação de uma plataforma que auxilia este público em relação às suas dúvidas para uma correta especificação. Como delimitação para o estudo de caso, adotou-se o tema \"impermeabilização\", utilizando-se um sistema de localização da patologia para a correta especificação da solução. Avaliou-se o SOT desenvolvido através de um estudo de caso em loja de material de construção, com clientes, vendedores e fabricante. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o SOT pode ser desenvolvido com baixo investimento e prazo inferior a outras soluções, além de ter apresentado uma grande aceitação pelos clientes das lojas, assim como pelo fabricante e pelo varejo, parceiros neste estudo.
The proper choice of solutions for a construction or renovation by end customers demand information that, although apparently accessible through search engines or query the manufacturers, can show complex situations depending on the choice of system or need sought within a store. With that, specifically in the retail industry, building material sales incorrect, incomplete, or waste of materials in works, even situations that can provide major accidents. Given this fact, this work focuses on the proposal for a Technical Guidance System (TGS) retail customer of construction material, which aims to assist the public in large stores. This work seeks to assist in the dissemination of knowledge within the building material retailers seeking to minimize tangible (financial) losses and intangible assets (customer losses by inadequate specification). This study was based on the creation of a platform that helps this audience in relation to their questions for a correct specification. As delimitation for the case study, it was used the subject \"sealing\", using a system with the location of the pathology for the correct specification of the solution. The assessment of the TGS was developed through a case study in building material shop, with customers, building material dealers and manufacturer. The results obtained showed that the TGS can be developed with low investment and less time than other solutions, and has presented great acceptance by the customers of the stores, as well as by the manufacturer and retail, partners in this study.

Despite this development, previous research showed, that labels and claims used at the POS to promote sustainable food products, cause difficulties for consumers such as distrust or consumer confusion when searching and evaluating these products. The purpose of this thesis is to examine whether the German supermarket and discounter customers are able to understand sustainable information at the POS and consequently identify sustainable food products. In order to examine this, a qualitative approach was chosen where nine semi-structured interviews with German consumers were conducted. The interviews contained an experimental part, where the consumers’ search and evaluation processes were tested. The results of this thesis show that difficulties in identifying sustainable food products exist in terms of trustworthiness of the information provided on the products especially in case of brand names and unknown sustainability labels. Furthermore, spin-off effects between sustainable products and less sustainable, conventional products were observed, where a positive evaluation of a sustainable product, negatively affected the evaluation of another product. Next to these difficulties, motivational conflicts were found to be a major obstacle for consumers when evaluating sustainable products. These findings implicate that manufactures and retailers need to carefully choose which and how they present sustainable information at the POS, as this is decisive for the successful search and evaluation process of their customers.

Abstract:

We propose an equivalent system ( e C, L) for studying the set of eventually periodic points, P er(T β ), for the beta-transformation of the unit interval, when β is a Pisot or a Salem number. This system is defined by a map e C, which is closely related to the companion matrix C of the minimal polynomial of β (of degree d ≥ 2), and by a set of points L ⊂ Q d . The systems ( e C, L) and T β , [0, 1) ∩ Q(β) are semi-conjugate and furthermore the semi-conjugacy is one-to-one. Given that P er(T β ) ⊆ [0, 1) ∩ Q(β), we say that ( e C, L) is an equivalent system as far as the study of periodic points is concerned. We define symbolic dynamics for ( e C, L), which is related to the beta-expansions of numbers in the unit interval. We show that e C can be factored to the toral automorphism defined by C and we also study the geometry of ( e C, L). The main motivation for this work is Schmidt’s paper [Sch80], and in particular the theorem that P er(T β ) = [0, 1) ∩ Q(β) when β is a Pisot number, and the conjecture that the same should be true when β is a Salem number. We compare the different dynamical behaviours of ( e C, L) when β is Pisot and when β is Salem , and state some of the implications of Schmidt’s theorem and conjecture. Finally, we use computer simulations and plots for a particular Salem case of degree 4, with a view to gaining further insight about the general Salem case

Abstract:

This thesis was written in cooperation with Telenor as part of the project ``Tap2Pay''. The goal was to investigate usablity challenges for contactless mobile payment at a physical point of sale and identify central themes and trade-offs. To acheive this a two iterations of a prototype was developed, based on an analysis of the payment situation. These iterations were used in one workshop each. After analyzing the results from the workshop, a strong card metaphor was identified as a central theme. The card metaphor had a great influence on the users' preferred solutions. Card selection routines was also a central theme. There is also a genuine trade-off between efficiency and confidence. The users are likely to lack confidence in the security of efficent solutions, but in order to increase confidence, efficiency must be sacrificed.

Abstract:

Background: Reward systems may be used in order to encourage different behaviors and to motivate employees in accordance with a company’s intended goals and results. To be able to design a reward system that leads to desirable performances, it is of great importance to be aware of the reactions that a reward system can emanate among employees.

Purpose Statement: The purpose is to analyze and explain the reactions of employees due to a reward system that has been designed and implemented by the management.

Research Method: We have carried out interviews with 2 middle-managers, 7 employees as well as the responsible of the reward system at Telia Kundtjänst AB in Norrköping.

Result: According to our study, reactions emanating from the implementation of a reward system appear as improvements as well as deterioration of performance. Further, our study indicates that the reactions can be explained by the injustice experienced among the employees, unclear goals and a deficient communication.

Abstract:

There is increasing pressure to integrate the economics of timber sale and logging planning with environmental considerations and strategic sustainability. Some forestry organisations are hoping to replace pre-harvesting inventory with a database designed for periodical inventory and long-term timber production planning to facilitate continuous (rolling) planning. The aim of this study is to analyse the possibilities of integrating different forest planning levels with each other and a Geographical Information System (GIS), and replacing the pre-harvesting inventory with a GIS. An integrated GIS and planning system is implemented. Firstly, the production system is analysed to define the system requirements in detail. Then the data model and processes together with system architecture are designed. A new concept of treatment stand is adopted for modelling site-specific restrictions into the calculation units of a Finnish forest simulator, MELA. Thereafter corresponding databases are defined and implemented. System interfaces are developed to provide data flow between subsystems. Additional modules for economic analyses are developed to sit on top of the linear programming (LP) package. A case study is undertaken to test the functionality of the integrated planning system. In the case study, forest inventory data and GIS-analyses are used for modelling both site-specific restrictions and harvesting conditions. New LP-formulations are defined and implemented using a Finnish LP-package, JLP. The 'production possibility frontiers' (extremes of possible production) are used to estimate the value of GIS in taking into account the effects of site-specific constraints. The results from a combinatorial model are compared with the results of a standard model to measure the benefits of GIS in timber sale and logging planning.

Full text

Abstract:

Background: Since the implementation of Tobacco Advertising and Promotion Act (TAPA) in the UK, Point-of-Sale (PoS) tobacco displays have been an increasingly important medium of tobacco marketing in the country. However there is little UK evidence on how PoS displays promote tobacco products, brands and their prices, or the associations between PoS displays and adolescent smoking and susceptibility. The Health Act 2009 prohibited PoS displays in larger shops in April 2012, with an exemption for smaller retailers until 2015, but the health implications of this partial ban currently being implemented in England have not yet been addressed. Methods: An observational survey of PoS tobacco displays was conducted of a sample of small retailers selling tobacco in Nottingham, UK. Digital pictures of 117 tobacco displays were taken and analysed to assess the content of PoS tobacco displays and in particular the tobacco products and prices on display. A self-completion questionnaire survey was also carried out among students attending 11 secondary schools in and around Nottingham city, and logistic regression models used to investigate the relation between exposure to and awareness of PoS tobacco displays, and awareness of brands on displays, with adolescent ever-smoking and measures of smoking susceptibility. These associations were examined in more detail, for small and larger shops separately, to assess the impact of the first phase of the ban implemented in large shops under the terms of Health Act 2009. Results: The retailers' survey indicated that PoS tobacco displays were placed in close proximity and in the same field of vision with products attractive to children such as chocolates and sweets and often could be seen from outside the shops. Moreover, PoS displays communicate value in a jurisdiction where tobacco prices are particularly high. In the shops surveyed, 43% of all cigarette packs on display 2 were small packs containing 10 cigarettes, retailing on average at a mere £2.86; moreover, 60% of all RoII -Your-Own (RYO) tobacco packs on display were small packs of 12.5 g retailing on average at £3.06. Furthermore, 44% of all cigarettes packs and 40% of all RYO packs on display were price-marked, and price-marking was particular prevalent amongst the cheapest brands. According to the results of the school survey, the odds of ever-smoking were doubled in those visiting shops almost daily relative to less than once a week (OR 2.23 95% Cl 1.40 to 3.55), and the odds of susceptibility to smoking were increased by around 60% (OR 1.6295% Cl 1.25 to 2.10) with daily visits. In those who noticed tobacco on di splay every time during store visits, the odds of susceptibility were increased more than three times relative to those who never noticed tobacco (OR 3.15 95% Cl 1.52 to 6.54). For each additional tobacco brand recognised at the PoS, the adjusted odds of being an ever-smoker increased by 5% (OR 1.05 95% Cl 1.03 to 1.06) and of susceptibility by 4% (OR 1.0495% Cl 1.02 to 1.05). More frequent visits to shops displaying cigarettes were associated with higher awareness of tobacco brands. The association between frequency of visiting stores and susceptibility was due predominantly to exposure in small shops. Conclusions: PoS displays communicate value by displaying a high proportion of lower cost brands, and smaller and hence lower-cost packs, and by displaying price discounts on packs. Exposure to and awareness of PoS displays, and awareness of brands in displays, was associated with increased smoking susceptibility, predominantly through exposure in small shops. Removal of PoS displays will prevent price promotion at the PoS, but the findings of this research also suggests that minimum pricing of 20-pack cigarettes, prohibition of sale of cigarettes in packs less than 20, and plain packaging to prevent price-marking, are also necessary if price is to be used effectively as a tobacco control measure. This research adds to international evidence that PoS tobacco displays can promote smoking among young people and suggests that a one-off, 3 comprehensive tobacco display ban would be the recommended approach to prevent this effect. 4

Abstract:

The counting and classification of vehicles is an important part of transportation engineering. In the past twenty years many automated systems have been developed to accomplish that labor-intensive task. Unfortunately most of those systems are characterized by inaccurate detection systems and/or classification method's which result in many classification errors, thus limiting the accuracy of the system. This report describes the development of a new vehicle classification program, originally designed for use in the Two-Point-Time-Ratio method of vehicle classification, which could greatly improve the accuracy of automated classification systems. The program utilizes data provided by either vehicle detection sensors, or the program user, to determine the velocity, number of axles, and axle spacings of a passing vehicle. It then matches the axle numbers and spacings with one of forty-one possible vehicle classifications and prints the vehicle class, speed, and wheelbase lengths. It also tabulates and prints totals and average speeds for each vehicle type. This report then describes a roadside experiment conducted to test the accuracy of the program, and the results of that experiment, which show the program classifications to be highly accurate. The report then describes the options available within the program, and provides instructions and an example on the use of the program. Possible future expansions of the system are also cited.

Alcoholic beverages and on premise alcoholic beverage retailers have become important to the food and beverage industry in the past three millennia. On premise consumption of alcoholic beverages is necessary for income in bars which makes it crucial for alcoholic beverage producers and retailers to identify methods to increase sales and consumption of their products. One method used by retailers and producers is to market their product at the point of sale (POS). However, the effectiveness of various POS marketing methods can vary depending on the demographics of the consumer cohort being targeted. The Generation Y cohort is reaching legal drinking age and is quickly becoming the majority of customers patronizing bars. Because many members of Generation Y are new to the drinking and bar scene, point of sale marketing may be an effective method of introducing Generation Y to high profit beverages. Currently, 33% of all alcohol beverage marketing expenditures target customers at the point of sale. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate how components of on-premise marketing methods, along with demographics, influence Generation Y’s purchasing decisions in bars. The sample was 216 members of Generation Y from across the country. Instrument development included a review of literature, three focus groups, a pilot study and a review by three industry experts. The final survey was distributed nationwide by Zoomerang.com. T-tests, ANOVA, factor analysis, and regression were used for data analysis. Results indicated that respondents patronized local bars and usually once a week, they drank regular beer, and spent an average of $23 per outing. Males, non-whites, and those who patronize bars on a weekly basis were significantly more likely to purchase alcoholic beverages based on POS logoed items at a bar. However, most respondents indicated that POS logoed items had no impact on their decisions and that assurance marketing was more important. Future studies need to be conducted focusing on either assurance marketing or logoed items. Also, demographic specific studies could be useful for local bars.

Abstract:

O setor de telecomunicações no Brasil apresentou elevados índices de crescimento nos últimos anos, o que pode ser atribuído, em parte, pela criação dos planos de telefonia móvel pré-pago, uma modalidade de serviço de telecomunicação que possibilitou o ingresso das classes de baixa renda nesse mercado, alcançando a marca de 160 milhões de linhas pré-pago. O sucesso comercial do segmento pré-pago com consumidores de baixa renda ajudou a contribuir com as vendas do canal de pequeno varejo, que incluem bancas de jornal, farmácias, padarias, papelarias, armarinhos, entre outros. As bancas de jornal destacam-se nas vendas, em especial no município do Rio de Janeiro, por representarem um volume considerável do total de vendas do segmento pré-pago na região. Apesar de ser um importante canal de vendas para operadoras telefônicas, poucos estudos em marketing se dedicam a pesquisar melhor bancas de jornal como pontos de vendas para consumidores de baixa renda. O presente estudo, portanto, analisa os significados associados por classes menos favorecidas a bancas de jornal no município do Rio de Janeiro para a compra de chips prépago. Para isso, foram feitas entrevistas em profundidade com consumidores de baixa renda que utilizavam bancas de jornal para comprar chips pré-pagos de celular. A partir dos dados coletados, foi possível entender como esses indivíduos se relacionam com bancas, a importância do jornaleiro nessa relação e os motivos que os levam a consumir produtos telefônicos nesse ponto de vendas.
The telecommunications sector in Brazil has shown high growth rates in recent years, which can be attributed in part to the creation of prepaid mobile telephony plans, a modality of telecommunication service that allowed the entry of low-income classes in this market, reaching the mark of 160 million prepaid lines. The commercial success of the prepaid segment with low-income consumers has helped to contribute to small retail sales, which include newsstands, pharmacies, bakeries, stationery, among others. Newsstands stand out in sales, especially in the city of Rio de Janeiro, since they represent a considerable volume of total sales of the prepaid segment in the region. Despite being an important sales channel for telephone operators, few marketing studies are dedicated to better researching newsstands as sales points for low-income consumers. The present study, therefore, analyzes the meanings associated by less favored classes to newsstands in the city of Rio de Janeiro for the purchase of prepaid chips. To do this, in-depth interviews were conducted with low-income consumers who used newsstands to buy prepaid cellphone chips. From the data collected, it was possible to understand how these individuals relate to newsstands, the importance of the journeyman in this relationship and the reasons that lead them to consume telephone products at this point of sale.

Abstract:

Omni-channel has become a major player in retail marketing today. It is steadily gaining popularity among retailers because of its capability of providing consistent and seamless customer shopping experience. Omni-channel allows sales to take place via the variety of channels as it implements cross-channel business model. With the emergence of technologies like mobile devices, E-commerce and social media, the way of retailing as we used tohas changed significantly.Customers of today use different variety of channels and devices on their shopping journey. Omni-channel provides retailers the opportunity to engage and build strong retail relationship with customers, offering different retail channels for customer to use. Store pickup is one of the strategies offered by Omni-channel as it presents an unique way of purchasing to customers. However, selling on a single channel is not enough due to the increasing demand in better shopping experience from customers. Such demand has put retailers in a position to rethink and redesign their retail marketing strategies. We believe cooperating online with offline channel is the response to the demand.This work aims to find answers to the study questions regarding retailer requirements and E-commerce platform to be integrated. The obtained analysis results provide answers to the study questions indicating that retailers are looking for strategies to fulfill thier customer requirements as their shopping demand continues to increase. The analysis results further show that WooCommerce as an E-commerce platform is most sutiable for the integration out of the three considered platforms. The integration is part of the implementation phase that demonstrates the proof of concept of Omni-channel strategy. As a proof of concept, a prototyp is developed and implemented. The implementation result provides an integrated system that seamlessly combines online and offline channels in regard of store pickup as part of Omni-channel strategy. However, the results of this work only provide information and demonstrate an initial step towards completed Omni-channel and that alot of work is required in order to reach the full Omni-channel retail.
