“…Indeed, features of the built environment that contribute to 'atmosphere' are potentially more appealing to customers of grocery stores than the products available, with focus group participants describing their ideal store as a relaxing environment that was spacious, bright, and green, with a nice atmosphere and appropriate music (Geuens, Brengman, & S'Jegers, 2003). As retail environments have often been associated with stressful experiences full of distracting stimuli (Fram, 1994), Joye, Willems, Brengman, and Wolf (2010) argue that introducing greenery into the retail environment may have a restorative effect on shoppers (Joye et al, 2010). This follows research suggesting that exposure to natural environments can assist people in recovering from stress and mental fatigue (Kaplan, 1995;Ulrich et al, 1991).…”

In this paper we discuss the rationale for the development of MyGrocer, a second-generation pervasive retail system, as well as its implications for the fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. We will only touch upon the technology infrastructure and the required technical developments since these have been discussed extensively elsewhere. The focus here is on the one hand, on the analysis of the business forces that dictate the development of pervasive retail and on the other, the implications and the opportunities for innovative business models offered by the dis-intermediation effect of pervasive retail on the supply chain of FMCG. The MyGrocer system has undergone two phases of field-testing and is expected to be fully operational by the end of this year. The development of the MyGrocer architecture is a collaborative effort between industry and academia within Europe.

“…Closer interaction, technology, and competition appear to be helping to reduce cross-national differences. Fram and Ajami (1994) suggest that over the last few years US automotive industry has moved in the direction of traditional Japanese management (with its emphasis on quality), while the Japanese have imported some American ways of doing business. Studies by Miller and Roth (1988), De Meyer et al (1987), Daniel and Reitsperger (1994), and Yavas and Burrows (1994) note emerging similarities between the attitudes of US and Japanese managers with respect to such issues as top management involvement and quality-cost trade offs.…”

Other examples of convergence may be given from consumer behavior where "culture of consumption" is replacing "saving for future" everywhere around the globe (Fram and Ajami, 1994).…”

This article empirically investigated the invariance and discriminant validity of a six‐factor leadership model across two very divergent cultures: the United States and Turkey. In conjunction with the rationalist approach to international management, it was hypothesized that the same range of six leadership styles would appear in both cultures. However, coinciding with the culturalist approach to international management, it was also hypothesized that managers would emphasize different styles in each culture. Turkish and US managers each completed the Leadership Effectiveness Questionnaire measuring degree of emphasis placed on six leadership styles. Results of the test of model invariance indicated that the six styles existed in both cultures; however, discriminant analysis demonstrated that the Autocratic and Consensus styles differentiated managers best. Turkish managers emphasized the Autocratic style to a greater extent and the Consensus style to a lesser extent than did US managers. Implications for international management are discussed. ©1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
