...Economy & Business ISSN 1314-7242, Volume 8, 2014 Journal of International Scientific Publications www.scientific-publications.net LOCATION AND LAYOUT AS SOURCES OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OF SMALL RETAILERS Nikola Knego, Kristina Petljak, Rudolf Vouk University of Zagreb, Faculty of Economics and Business Zagreb, Department of Trade Trg J.F. Kennedy 6, 10 000 Zagreb, Croatia Abstract The decision about the location is one of the most important decisions taken by the retailer because of its long-term impact on the company. In each step of the decision making process retailers have to analyse to what extent the characteristics of the location meet the specific requirements of their businesses. The secret of choosing the right location lies in knowing the factors that are most important to the firm's success and finding a location that satisfies them the most. Retailers must take into account the size of the trading area, parking spaces, availability of space for expansion and location visibility. Crucial for identifying appropriate location is to identify the characteristics that can provide the small retailer with a competitive advantage and then find potential sites that meet these criteria. After deciding on retail location, retailers have to consider store layout. Layout is important for attracting constant customer turnover. Store layout develops from a good knowledge of the consumers’ buying habits. Retail spatial distribution should attract customers...

...Jeff Garcia 10 AM Product/Service of Business: Petrobras is the fourth largest company in the world and the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. It has control over significant oil and energy assets in 18 countries in Africa, North America, South America, Europe and Asia. It carries 11.7 billion barrels of oil making it the fourth biggest oil reserves among petrochemical companies. This is before the recent discoveries in four new locations. Petrobras sponsors a few things: The Ministry of Mines and Energy's National Program for the Oil Products and Natural Gas Use Rationalization. These programs promote the development of a no waste culture in the use of nonrenewable natural resources and encourage efficiency in energy use in many sectors. These programs have developed environmental education actions but they emphasized on the efficiency on transport, residencies, and industries. One of the major companies of Petrobras is Petrobras Transporte S.A. which is the largest oil and gas transportation company of Brazil. History of Business: Petrobras was founded in 1953 by Getúlio Vargas because of the economic crisis created by pro-US Dutra. The way this was fixed was by creating a nationalist policy. This policy caused the usage and increase in the country natural resources and to stray away from foreign dependency. Vargas served as Brazil’s president and later dictator from 1930 to 1945. The company was founded when Vargas was democratically elected...

...Factors that influence the location of my business The location of a business is where it is situated. Where to locate a business is a crucial decision because this will have an important impact on profits. Typically businesses will seek locations that maximise revenues and minimise costs. In choosing a business location my business shall consider these push and pull factors: 1. Closeness to market. This is the case with fresh produce - so that for example, many supermarkets operate their own bakeries. 2. Cultural factors. The culture of a country refers to customary practices and beliefs that people uphold. Jarvis (2002) has observed that culture is made up of institutions and other forces that affect society's basic values, perceptions, preferences, and behaviours. Culture affects the way consumers think and use certain products. For example you cannot open a mini-skirt boutique in an Indian society which prefers long gabs. 3. Communications links. Transport is an important factor supporting access to markets. Hence the need to locate along major road or railway for easy movement of goods. Modern companies also need to locate where they have access to excellent information technology links. 4. Closeness to raw materials. Locating close to the raw material supplies can reduce where raw materials are heavy and large quantities are used up in production costs. This is particularly true for industries like steel, which uses large quantities of iron ore in the production...

...Edexcel GCSE Business Unit 2: Controlled Assessment Task 1 What would be the most suitable location for a small business to start up in your local area? Chicken cottage is one of the leading halal fast food services in Keighley which I am going to talk about. The original one was founded in 1994. In Keighley it is on the Cavendish high street. Their mainly are a fast food takeaway but can also eat inside so it is sort of a restaurant as well. It sells different types of chicken such as burgers, stake, etc. it is mainly a take away and you can also eat indoors. The four factors to do with location that I have decided to investigate are: Transport links, location of competitors, market (customers and population) and access to Labour. My primary research which I did was I went to Chicken Cottage to have an interview with the owner to find out why he chose the location for his business e.g. was it access to customers or staff, etc. I also carried out a primary research questionnaire of customers to see how they travelled to the restaurant and how far they were prepared to travel, etc. The location of the building is on Cavendish Street, Keighley. This is a busy high street. I also asked him if I could leave questionnaires for the customers he agreed For my secondary research I went online to see the competitors for his business, plus I researched if his business was easily accessible and it turned out that it was. I also got a number of the population of Keighley...

...and video stores have limited space available, which makes them to put on sale those items that are most popular and profitable. Less popular items take small limited area. All these results high cost for shelf maintenance. In contrast, Netflix has centralized warehouses, and display all their items virtually resulting much lower cost for shelf maintenance. Long tail marketing model represent a great number of different consumer segments, the longer the tail, the greater diversity of customers. This allows a business to attract more cultural groups and customers, whose taste is not mainstream. Location Based Services Location based service is a software application that uses real-time geo-data to provide information, entertainment or etc. LBS is information or entertainment service, accessible with mobile devices through the mobile network and use of the geographical position of the mobile device. LBS use a smartphone’s GPS technology to track a person’s location. As a result, people are able to discover the nearest restaurants, banks and etc. LBS have some methods as control plane locating, GSM localization, self-reported positioning and others....

...Have you ever wondered where you could find a great happy-hour bar recommended by your closest friends, or how far away you are from the nearest hotel and their website, or the nearest Latin American restaurant while you're on vacation? Location-based services allow you to access this information even when you are miles away from home. These services have a magnitude of uses in social networking, and they are largely accessible through mobile device networks. They use information on the geographical position of a mobile device and enable the user to find the nearest business or service. In addition, the combination of mobile apps and location-based services allows marketers to reach out to their customers to send them more targeted content. Not only do location-based services help the consumer, but they also help advertise the company through social media networks. Stating location is no longer just a form of showing the public what you have seen and where you have been. It is like a free advertisement or commercial for people that view that picture (instagram) or status (Facebook). It has created an extra column in the marketing aspect of the business both for future consumers as well as systems that try to adapt to the users preferences. Applications such as Foursquare, Wikitude, and Yelp are widely used by many people, but the Geographical Information Systems (GIS) community is still in search for the "killer app" that will become so widely used in society that GIS...

...technical and business challenges. By Subhankar Dhar and Upkar Varshney Challenges and Business Models for Mobile Location-based Services and Advertising for wireless cellular networks in the U.S. have also enabled location-based functionalities using variations of triangulation, GPS, and cell-ID technologies. In addition to the current and emerging satellite-based systems, such as GPS (U.S.), GLONASS (Russian), GALILEO (EU), and COMPASS (China),30 which will provide wider coverage to benefit location-based services. In some cases locational information can also be derived and utilized from sensors, RFID, Bluetooth, WiMax, and Wireless LANs.7,31,32 These systems can be used standalone or supplement the coverage for location tracking in indoor environments, where satellite coverage is intermittent or inaccurate. The potential for location-based services is evident from powerful and ubiquitous wireless devices that are growing in popularity.8,23 Many surveys predict billions of dollars in revenues for mobile advertising.27 Mobile Network Operators are well positioned to take up a significant percent of this advertising revenue as they negotiate deals with content providers. Recent deals between media companies, advertising agencies and Internet/software industry also demonstrate significant optimism for future growth.4,19 However, there are many challenges that have slowed down the deployment, offering, and wide-scale adoption of location-based services...

...Seven Organizational Approaches Paper HCA/220 January 29, 2012 Seven Organizational Approaches Paper The seven organizational approaches to studying the human body include: body plans and directions, body cavities, quadrants and regions, anatomy and physiology, microscopic-to-macroscopic, body systems, and medical specialty. The body planes and directions approach is the division of the body into sections from front to back, right and left, top and bottom, along with the movement toward or away from the body planes. The Coronal Plane or frontal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into front and back sections. The front of the body is known as the anterior or ventral section and the back of the body is known as the posterior or dorsal section. The Sagittal Plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into right and left sections. The body directions represent the movement toward or away from the midline. Moving from the side of the body toward the midline is moving in a medial direction. Moving from the midline toward the side of the body is moving in a lateral direction. These types of approaches may be used to take images from a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan. The Transverse Plane is a horizontal plane that divides the body into top and bottom sections. The superior is the upper half of the body and the inferior is the lower half. Moving from the trunk of the body toward the end of a body limb is moving in a distal direction. Moving...

...Seven Organizational Approaches Brittany Hasty HCA/220 June 9th, 2015 Debra Schrager Seven Organizational Approaches The healthy human body can be studied in seven different ways. These ways include the following; body planes and cavities, body cavities, quadrants and regions, anatomy and physiology, microscopic and macroscopic, body systems, and medical specialties. In order for the human body to be considered healthy it must have complete physical, mental, and social well-being. The seven different ways involve approaching the body from different angles by dividing or organizing the body. There are three main planes used to study the body: the coronal, sagittal, and the transverse planes. The coronal plane divides the human body vertically into front and back sections. The front section is the anterior or ventral, and the back section is known as the dorsal or posterior. The sagittal plane is a vertical plane that divides the body into right and left sections. There are two directions used when dividing the body in a sagittal plane- lateral and medial. The lateral direction moves from either side of the body toward the body’s midline. The medial direction moves in the opposite direction, from the body’s midline to either side of the body. The transverse plane is a horizontal plane that divides the body into bottom and top sections. The bottom half is known as the inferior section, while the top half is referred to as the superior section. In order for the human body...

...Introduction The patient, a 20-year-old female ballet dancer, presented with pain in the lateral ankle, particularly in the anterior lateral malleolus and on the calcaneus, and swelling. Patient was examined immediately after the injury occurred. Upon examination, there were positive tests for both the talar tilt test and the anterior drawer test; greater than 10˚ and 8mm respectively compared to the uninjured ankle. Weight bearing on the injured limb was not possible for more than two steps; the patient experience great pain and described the sensation of her ankle “buckling.” A history was taken; the patient described rolling her ankle after landing on a colleague’s foot, and stated that she has had a lateral ankle sprain (Grade I) in the past. Patient was referred for radiographic (x-ray) imaging to rule out fractures and other ankle injuries. Patient was finally diagnosed with a Grade III ATF & CF ankle sprain. After radiographic and arthroscopic imaging was completed, it was determined that the rupture had occurred at the attachment point on the fibula for both ligaments9; an avulsion fracture was not found. Initial treatment performed on the patient consisted of the R.I.C.E. (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) method. Patient was wrapped with the foot in as much of a dorsiflexed position as could be tolerated, with u-shaped foam orthotics around both malleoli to help with compression and stability. Patient was informed of her options regarding surgical...

...Anatomy and Physiology 1-1 Explain the importance of studying anatomy and physiology. Studying anatomy and physiology is important because knowing how normal physiology helps you recognize when something goes wrong with the body. 1-2 Define anatomy and physiology, describe the origins of anatomical and physiological terms, and explain the significance of Terminologia Anatomica (International Anatomical Terminology). Anatomy is the study of internal and external body structures. Physiology is the study of how living organisms perform functions. There are four basic building blocks of anatomical and physiological terms. Word roots, prefixes, suffixes, and combining forms. Terminologia Anatomica serves as a worldwide official standard of anatomical vocabulary. So people all over the world can have the same anatomical terms. 1-3 Explain the relationship between anatomy and physiology, and describe various specialties of each discipline. All specific functions are performed by different structures. Meaning the way a body part is made up (anatomy) gives clues on how that body part will function (physiology). Specialties in gross anatomy is surface anatomy, regional anatomy, systemic anatomy, clinical anatomy, and developmental anatomy. Specialties in physiology is cell physiology, organ physiology, systemic physiology and pathological physiology. 1-4 Identify the major levels of organization in organisms, from the simplest to the most complex...
