Summary Excerpt Details

Digitalization, globalization, innovation. In an era where the phrase “retail apocalypse” gets shouted across the globe and brick-and-mortar retailers struggle to remain competitive. Rapid technological change is fueling innovation but, is disrupting and upending traditional businesses. Offline retailers realize the need to play catch-up with fast growing online-only retailers that have a data driven approach to steadily improve their operations and understand consumer needs. In a highly competitive industry where the lack of functional differentiation is a catalyst for products and services to become increasingly exchangeable, a competitive advantage can only be created based on customer experiences. Brick-and-mortar stores admit to struggle understanding shopper needs while also facing a new Generation of consumers, that differs to any other known before. The objective of the present work is to determine key success factors in consumer experience required by brick- and mortar in order to successfully attract Generation Z.
