Book excerpt: Scientific Essay from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, , language: English, abstract: In the German food retail business, the new online channel has not yet come to light, in contrast to other European markets. At first glance, it seems that neither the retailers nor the consumers appear to show a significant interest in e-grocery. The reason for German retailers to neglect possibilities to sell groceries online, however, is based on the premise that German consumers would lack the acceptance and interest to do so. Herein, the paper’s objective is to analyze the sales potential for grocery e-commerce in the German food retailing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2020 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,0, University of Salford, language: English, abstract: Despite widespread popularity in Europe, particularly in the UK and the Netherlands, demand for Online Grocery Retail in Germany, which is economically just as strongly developed, appears to be rather low. This study therefore aims to find out which factors encourage or discourage consumers in Germany to order groceries online. Businesses need to make the online grocery business model transparent and useful from a marketing perspective. The clear advantages of this way of shopping groceries must be communicated. Furthermore, psychological aspects of consumers must be understood and taken into account in the retailers' strategy. Last but not least, importance must be attached to data protection and environmental protection; this message must be conveyed. By providing current insights into consumers' preferences and wishes on their personal grocery shopping behavior, the findings can be used by Businesses and especially Grocery Retailer to shape the grocery shopping of the future. Based on the hypothesis that that there is some degree of resistance to the utilisation of technology which is potentially inhibiting German consumers utilising actively embracing online grocery retail, the Technology Acceptance Model and its extension was chosen as a conceptual framework in order to test this assumption. To test the findings of the Literature Review, 25 semi-structured interviews were conducted in the empirical part of this study. The target group of the interviewees were students aged between 18 - 30, 13 of them female and 12 male. The main findings are that the reasons for the low demand for online grocery retailing in Germany are cultural. German consumers are more likely to trust new trends if they have been on the market and established for a longer period of time. The high density of grocery stores favours the fact that German consumers do not see any real added value in this service and thus no real usefulness. In addition to ease of use and usefulness, demographic aspects must also be taken into account in order to make the online grocery trade successful in Germany. The study focused on a specific age and target group. For practical reasons, the number was limited to 25 interviews. For further research it is recommended to analyze further age and target groups in order to gain further differences in the individual aspects.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 61 points (B), Bournemouth University (Business School), course: International Business Administration, language: English, abstract: The research’s aim was to contrast the retailers’ market approach and consumer perception of online food shopping in the markets Germany and UK. The first part of the research project was the review of existing literature to build up knowledge about the history and definition of the Internet and to give a market overview of Germany and the UK. The next areas investigated within the literature review were consumers’ online shopping behaviour and the food retail market. The last part was concerned with specific companies from both countries and their market approach. Research questions developed in the literature review were concerned with the food shopping behaviour and the perception of online food shopping. Additional questions were if payment security has an influence on online shopping and what other market sectors are of interest. The first part of the survey collecting quantitative data was carried out within a sample of 100 food shoppers from the UK and 100 from Germany. Questionnaires were distributed using the snowball sampling method – a method where each respondent passes the questionnaire to a number of further contacts. Interviews built the second survey part where two participants from each country were questioned in-depth about their food shopping behaviour and perceptions. The interviews backed findings from the questionnaire survey and gave further information. Quantitative data was gained and analysed by using the program SPSS. SPSS is a tool that provides the possibility to run statistical correlations between variables and provides graphical outputs to illustrate the findings. The findings show great differences in consumer perception and retailers’ market approach between Germany and the UK. While in the UK online food shopping is popular with consumers and some retailers found a way of establishing themselves in this market, German companies do not offer the service nationwide and consumers seem to have limited interest. Main reasons identified in the research lie in the differences within the economical markets and culture of the countries. The outlook in the future shows an ongoing increase in online food shopping in the UK but less activities in Germany.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Supply, Production, Logistics, grade: 1,5, Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: This paper is about the expectations of targeted customer segments towards food-logistics-services for online grocery shopping. In recent years, the food retail sector in Germany entered the market with a new business model, which can be called "online-grocery-shopping". Unlike in other European countries, this business model is still at its beginning and encounters some challenges to develop and scoop its potential entirely. The research status mostly seems to consider just the trader, but little to no emphasis is on the transport service provider. Especially the processes of them must ensure that sensitive groceries are handled and delivered with maximum care until the goods reach the final customer. Also, the German population is a sophisticated customer base, due to their high expectations regarding quality and service. Furthermore, the younger people are represented by high internet affinity, and they count as one of the present and future purchasing powers. This thesis utilizes a questionnaire to study 18-35-year old people regarding their expectations towards the transportation of groceries to contribute to the development of this business model. An assessment by the participants helps to identify the essential expectations. Since Germans are tough customers, an ordinal logistic regression contributes to examine the identified expectations further. This reveals which properties of the customer, whether these are of demographic or fundamental nature, are affecting the expectations. Further, cross-pair comparisons of these properties are executed to crosscheck, how exactly is a property affecting an expectation. After this, based on the results, recommendations for action are stated as specific as possible to help the transport service provider compensate the identified expectations.

Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: 1,3, University of applied sciences, Munich, language: English, abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic raised the demand for online food shopping in traditional Peru and Germany. This urged an in-depth examination since consumer attitudes in specific cultural contexts had received little attention. Thus, this research aims to ascertain the factors that significantly influence Germans' and Peruvians' intention to use online grocery shopping, as well as to identify significant differences between the two countries. Two particular research topics serve as the framework for this study, which are as follows: Are there significant differences in the usage of online grocery shopping between Germans and Peruvians during the COVID-19 pandemic? What factors significantly influence Germans and Peruvians' online grocery shopping usage during the COVID-19 pandemic? As indicated by both research questions, this study's primary emphasis is on online grocery shopping behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic that peaked one year ago, in the year 2020, yet has persisted worldwide. Therefore, this study focuses only on empirical data from the COVID-19 outbreak since online grocery shopping in both nations was not a significant event before the pandemic. Furthermore, there was no previous scientific research on online grocery shopping’s behavior in Peruvian literature, preventing comparison between the two countries. Given that the pandemic's breakout aided in the partial adoption of online grocery shopping in both nations, the researcher judged it appropriate to frame both research questions exclusively in terms of the COVID-19 pandemic to capture better the influence of the digital transition that was experienced in 2020.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject Business economics - Offline Marketing and Online Marketing, grade: 1,3, Furtwangen University, language: English, abstract: Groceries are different from many other products, such as music and books that are commonly purchased online. Many grocery products are perishable and therefore time-sensitive in terms of their delivery needs. In addition, groceries are a replacement product, for example, the same basket of products is more-or-less purchased on a regular basis. Finally, groceries are high-touch items, meaning that consumers like to inspect the quality of items they are purchasing. Online grocery shopping still is a growing and potent distribution channel that uses direct access methods to allow consumers to shop quickly and take delivery of grocery products without ever leaving their homes, with the computer as the primary method of communication. This environment provides the opportunity to compare and select grocery products in unique and relevant ways in an information-rich environment. Consumers are embracing this online channel as a means of simplifying their lives and saving time. For researchers, online grocery shopping provides new research applications made possible from the unique ability to link longitudinal transactional data and survey-based attitudinal data at the individual household level. This means fast consumer feedback from a valuable sample, in a controlled environment, as well as the ability to monitor behaviour over time. Also, this environment can be a more efficient and cost-effective means of data collection and analysis than traditional survey research, in some instances.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Business economics - Operations Research, grade: 1.0, Tongji University, language: English, abstract: In this research, the existing German market, the largest greenfield for online food delivery in the EMEA, is analyzed to verify the possibility of executing a nutritional-conscious business strategy plan in order to differentiate "XX" from the competition. The macro-and microenvironments of Germany's online food delivery business market were examined using a mix of PEST and Porter's five forces models. As a significant outcome of the market investigation, the common characteristics of German nutritional-conscious customers were addressed. Additionally, given the current state of the business, critical components of marketing approaches based on an STP Model are recommended to "XX" in order to solidify its position in this growing industry. Online food delivery has emerged as a rapidly rising trend in the e-commerce market. The development of digital tools has transformed the food industry's perspective. Businesses have redesigned their company strategies in order to stay up with changing client expectations and preferences. Innovation is critical to success in order to stay up with increased client demands and competition in a saturated industry.
