Key research themes

1. How does customer segmentation by profitability influence profit center management and targeted service strategies?

This research area investigates the segmentation of customers into profit tiers based on their differential profitability to firms. Understanding these tiers allows firms to allocate resources more efficiently, tailor marketing, product, and service offerings to distinct customer groups, and ultimately maximize overall profitability. This approach goes beyond traditional segmentation by incorporating financial metrics that identify high-value customers deserving prioritized service, thereby influencing how firms manage profit centers focused on customer-related revenue streams.

Key finding: The paper demonstrates that firms can effectively classify customers into profitability tiers with distinct profiles and service expectations, and that higher profit tiers respond disproportionately to improvements in service... Read more

2. What organizational and business model configurations optimize profit center performance in competitive environments?

This theme addresses how firms design and adapt their organizational structures and business models to maximize profitability within profit centers. It emphasizes understanding operational and dynamic aspects of business models, including value creation and appropriation mechanisms that respond to varying value configurations such as value chains, shops, or networks. The theme also considers strategic facility location and competitive strategy models that influence profit maximization in spatially distributed profit centers.

3. How do inter-store and inter-center externalities affect profitability and strategic investment in retail profit centers?

This research area explores the influence of department store size and brand image on the sales performance of in-line retailers within and across enclosed shopping centers. It addresses how positive externalities generated by anchor tenants impact the attractiveness and profitability of retail profit centers. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for efficient capital allocation, rent negotiation, and competitive positioning within retail real estate profit centers.

Key finding: Using a non-linear retail share model, the study finds that both department store size and fashion image exert significant, nonlinear impacts on in-line retail sales within enclosed malls. Crucially, department store image... Read more
