ESRC Retail Industry Business Engagement Network
Professor Martin Clarke
University of Leeds, UK
• RIBEN is one of 4 ‘Capacity building Clusters’ created, following a national competition, by ESRC to encourage closer dialogue and collaboration between social scientists and UK industry
• Aim: to produce a new generation of university researchers work on industry relevant topics
• Involves 3 leading retail research universities‐Oxford‐Southampton‐Leeds
Management Team
Principle staff:‐ Professor Neil Wrigley – Director‐ Professor Michelle Lowe – Assistant Director‐ Professor Martin Clarke – Associate Director‐ Dr Jonathan Reynolds – Associate DirectorAdvisory Group12 Retail Industry and Government Department members chaired by Kevin Hawkins, ex‐Director of the British Retail Consortium
• RIBEN will receive core support from ESRC over 5 years (2008‐13) valued at 1.45 million sterling
• This supports:‐ 8 Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs)‐ 15 ESRC CASE doctoral awards‐ 15 vouchers for SMEs‐ 10 ‘business placement’ wards for PG studentsat other British Universities
• However, no FEC support or any admin or travel and subsistence funds – this has been seen as a major constraint on the project
• Collective Research Interests‐ Retail innovation and entrepreneurship‐ Retail competition, regulation, planning and development
‐ Retail marketing and retail information/network planning
‐ Internationalization and retail performance in the global economy
‐ Sustainability‐ CSR and responsible/ethical sourcing‐ E‐commerce and multi‐channel retailing
• Why Retail?‐ big sector of the UK economy, generating 10% of GDP and 11% of employment‐ something the UK is good at – e.g. Tesco’s, Marks and Spencers –benchmarked by glocal best practice‐ Historically, relatively weak links between academia and
practitioner compared with other sectors, such as engineering, medicine, aerospace
‐ Part of this can be explained by different time lines that both parties operate on: retail – weeks/month, academia – years!
‐ Dynamics of the industry changing rapidly – e‐ and t‐ commerce, consumer choices and profiles changing, etc
‐ In the UK over past 3 years many household brands have disappeared – Woolworths, Thresher, Oddbins, Habitat etc. More to follow

Estimating tourist demand in retail location models
Student: Andy Newing
• Sainsbury’s location planning team have a major responsibility for generating revenue predictions for existing network and proposed stores.
•Their in‐house spatial interaction model is generally successful, but consistently under‐predicts of revenue in certain areas with a high proportion of non‐residential demand.
• It is difficult to accurately forecast the impact of tourism on store sales and revenue as visitor expenditure is driven by a combination of local and broader factors with a variable spatial and temporal pattern.
•This RIBEN CASE award PhD asks: “Is it possible to identify and account for the factors that influence visitor demand within SI models?”
• The PhD aims to :Develop a SI model and spatial decision support system that can be used by grocery retailers to incorporate visitor demand.
Estimating tourist demand in retail location models
Why are retailers interested in visitor demand?
•Visitor demand is spatially clustered around resorts, destinations and attractions and often driven by the supply of accommodation.
•Grocery stores are an important part of the services required by visitors –particularly those using self catering accommodation.
•Demand also originates from second homes, people hosting friends and relatives, operators of small accommodation establishments and others catering for visitors.
•Stores in some resorts demonstrate a clear seasonal pattern to their overall trading figures and out‐of‐catchment trade.
Visitor grocery expenditure
“in many holiday locations, during the summer season tourists will complement revenue derived from residents for a range of retailers such as supermarkets, chemists,
newsagents, pubs and cafes”
(Dudding and Ryan, 2000, p302)

Food miles & carbon footprint
• Road transport up 30% since 1980: average distance travelled up 60%: 30bn km per year, 10m tonnes of CO2
• UK consumers use the car more (up 60%): 1995 750 miles 2005 – 900 miles
• Regional distribution depots• Agricultural specialization• More processed foods (i.e ready meals)• Economies of scale in manuf.• That said: nb. life‐cycle assessment

Retail Industry Business Engagement Network (RIBEN)
• Encourage collaboration between academia and industry professionals• Provide researchers with first-hand experience of working on issues of relevance to the retail sector
• Transform data collected (such as questionnaires, official registries) into actionable information which helps clients understand customer preferences, improve customer acquisition and retention, predict consumer behaviour.
• Chief Executive John Mayer - “ The biggest company you have never heard of”
Research
Retail Spending and Store Location during a Recession: An Analysis of Changing Consumer Behaviour and Interaction Patterns
Aims
• Aim•The broad aim of this research project is to quantify the impact of the recession on the grocery market from a consumer (demand side) and a retailer (supply side) perspective in Great Britain.
• Objectives – Slightly changed since last time• Review and gain a comprehensive understanding of the extensive literature on the recession, household expenditure and store location techniques.• Validate Acxiom data against existing data sources on grocery expenditure.• Identify supply-side changes in the food retail industry over a period of recession.• Analyse the changes in food expenditure during the recession by different household types and geographic areas.• Analyse the changes in customer patronage for British retailers by household type and geographic areas during the recession• Construct a disaggregated spatial interaction model to evaluate future opportunities in the grocery market.
