7th Nordic Retail and Wholesale Conference (NRWC) <\/strong>
3\u20135 November 2020<\/em>
School of Business, Economics and Statistics,
Ume\u00e5 University, Sweden <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deadline<\/strong> (750-1000 words abstract): 15 May 2020<\/s><\/strong>
Extended till 15 June 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The retail industry is in disruption and shopper behavior is evolving. Keeping up with the pace of modern technology such as big data, AI, AR, VR, and gamification is a challenge, as well as an opportunity, that the retail industry faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New technologies are creating new ways to do business, making it important to find a balance between what worked in the past and what is needed in the future. For example, the sharing economy (sharing\/renting instead of buying) is a growing trend that the industry needs to consider. Digitalization is believed to have potential to improve sustainability, or at least reduce the negative impact of retail on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are living in a time where we cannot ignore the changes that are happening and therefore firms, as well as individuals, have to keep up with the pace of modern technology in order to be prepared for the future that is already here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics<\/strong>:
– Marketing and consumer behavior (co-creation, branding, in-store marketing)
– Sustainability in retail (CSR, sharing economy, circular business models)
– Digital interaction (AR, VR, AI, gamification, social media)
– Logistics (distribution channels, supply chain management, omni-channel)
– Retail firm strategy (localization strategies, pricing and bundling strategies)
– New retail concepts (SME\/family firms, pop-up stores, store experience)
– Retail in society (urban and regional development, employment in retail)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
