Changing Grocery Shopping Behaviours Among Chinese Consumers At The Outset Of The Covid‐19 Outbreak
This study focuses on the embryonic stages of the COVID‐19 pandemic in China, where most people affected opted to abide by the Chinese government’s national self‐quarantine campaign. This resulted in major disruptions to one of the most common market processes in retail: food retailing. The research adopts the theory of planned behaviour to provide early empirical insights into changes in consumer behaviour related to food purchases during the in…
On being local and being successful in Korea
Tesco withdrew from the Korean market in September 2015. The withdrawal of Tesco has not generally been seen as being due to management failure, but instead as a strategic reallocation of resources by Tesco in the UK . Yet there may still be more to understand about this development. The tale of Tesco's arrival in and departure from Korea has not ended. We consider the relative performance of Tesco (Homeplus) stores and those of rival E‐Mart. We …

T esco in K orea
In S outh K orea, rising resistance has slowed the advance of global retailer T esco to the advantage of traditional shopping locations. In 2013, T esco claimed that retrospectively‐applied K orean S unday trading regulations reduced its trading there by 8 per cent. We utilised secondary sources and also conducted an empirical survey of 1,092 consumers in 22 K orean cities to assess reactions to this regulatory change and found evidence of spatia…
Of Kimchi, Caribou - and Canadian Multiculturalism? An exploratory study
In this paper we argue that food – a basic life-necessity – should not be overlooked as a dimension of life-satisfaction. We use secondary sources and also empirical research to illustrate emergent dimensions of this topic: primarily in British Columbia, Canada. Other recent research suggests that, among immigrant populations, life satisfaction in a multicultural society such as Canada is not just about getting a job. As people migrate, they move…

Canada, Britain and the drive to restore economic growth
The 'sub-prime' meltdown has accelerated critiques of the economic modelling that underpinned the activities of banking and allied industries. Coincidentally, there has been resurgence in interest in more socialised interpretations of economic life. In this article we seek to show how it may still be possible to marry formal economic modelling with these more socialised concerns. We argue that, at a time when many economists are anticipating slow…

Testing the effectiveness of the proposed UK ‘competition test’
An ongoing inquiry by the UK Competition Commission (CC) – the Groceries Inquiry – has covered supplier relationships, landholdings and, controversially, the topic of planning regulations. The latter lies within the remit of the Department for Communities and Local Government. Accordingly, Competition issues now intrude directly into planning since the identity – fascia – of a proposed retailer taking a new development had previously been disrega…
Service Worlds
Visibly in trouble
Here we seek to spatialise aspects of the Northern Rock Bank crisis of 2007 by marrying two radically different approaches. We combine a discussion of financial lending practices with an articulation of herd behaviour in conditions of uncertainty. Both were part of the still‐unfolding picture of a traumatic episode in the geography of finance but also convey lessons on the behaviour of society in situations of shortage
Retail Restructuring and Consumer Choice 1. Long-Term Local Changes in Consumer Behaviour
Over the last two decades fundamental changes have taken place in the global supply and local structure of provision of British food retailing. Consumer lifestyles have also changed markedly. Despite some important studies of local interactions between new retail developments and consumers, we argue in this paper that there is a critical need to gauge the cumulative effects of these changes on consumer behaviour over longer periods. In this, the …
Retail Restructuring and Consumer Choice 2. Understanding Consumer Choice at the Household Level
This paper complements the preceding one by Clarke et al, which looked at the long-term impact of retail restructuring on consumer choice at the local level. Whereas the previous paper was based on quantitative evidence from survey research, this paper draws on the qualitative phases of the same three-year study, and in it we aim to understand how the changing forms of retail provision are experienced at the neighbourhood and household level. The…
The Free Trade Area of the Americas
Before being overtaken by events of 11 September 2001, the topic of the Free Trade Area of the Americas occupied much attention in the US and Canada. The subject was approached as primarily a trade barrier agenda. However we here argue that globalisation and open markets have also been facilitated by issues of currency exchange rates and the fight against inflation. This, in turn, forces considering of the enduring hegemonic status of the US doll…

Short-Termism and Economic Restructuring in Britain
During the last century, Britain's ranking among the leading economic powers has declined steadily, with indigenous manufacturing capacity declining particularly rapidly in the 1980s. This paper argues that the root causes have been in place for much longer, making that decline both predictable and inevitable. I draw on the work of those who argue that Britain has always had a greater concern for wealth preservation than for wealth creation. The …
Buying' Power-Interpreting Retail Change in a Circuits of Power Framework
The notion of a new retail geography poses the challenge to produce more critical and rigorous analyses of an important sector of the UK service economy. In this paper we suggest that our understanding of retail processes will be aided by devoting explicit attention to the role of interorganisational power in shaping the commercial environment of the retail sector. Regrettably, many notions of power are undertheorised and static. In particular th…

The Campeau Takeovers-The Arbitrage Economy in Action
In the space of less than five years Robert Campeau, a Canadian property developer, rose to become the owner of the largest tranche of retail assets in the USA. Campeau acquired an empire 'worth' US$8 b before the bulk of that empire fell into Chapter 11 bankruptcy. In that time his dealings came to involve some of the most famous names in US retailing-and also Marks and Spencer plc of Britain. The mechanisms by which funding was put together in …

The Lure of the USA
Wrigley has noted the burgeoning involvement of UK food retailers in the US market. In this paper, attention is drawn to a number of underlying factors that may go some way towards explaining this phenomenon. Of particular interest is the investment climate in the USA as a result of 'Reaganomics'. Ally this both to the oligopalistic tendencies in the UK food retailing market and to the fears of market saturation and further insights emerge in res…

Analysis of Shoppers' Attitudes
There is a growing body of literature that suggests that shopping may not simply be an economic exercise. It may be that there is also a ‘social’ function to shopping. Empirical results presented suggest that such ‘social’ factors do exist and they may be structured into a simple typology
