“…Hypermarkets will order directly from the supplier when the cashier scans the bar code of a product. Thus, modern technology, such as an electric scanner will monitor sales performance (Jamieson, 1996). Systems, such as point-of-sales scanning and electronic data interchange (EDI) (Larson and Sijbrands, 1991), promise even better data collection opportunities for syndicated suppliers in the future (Segal and Giacobbe, 1994).…”

Purpose -The hypermarket industry in Malaysia has created a huge momentum for modern retailing concepts. The industry has been developing impressively, and the word hypermarket seems in need of a new definition. There is an overlap of the definitions for hypermarket, supermarket and shopping mall. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to focus on recent Malaysian hypermarket retailing developments that could be used as sources for definition. A few expansion opportunities are also emphasized in this paper. Design/methodology/approach -A review of the literature from various research studies in the field was made. In order to strengthen the existing findings, practical implementations on hypermarket retailing within the Malaysian market were also studied in this research. In general, this research focuses on hypermarket retailing in the Malaysian scenario. Findings -Malaysian hypermarkets can be defined using retail developments within the industry as sources for definition works. This industry can also be expanded further through: product brand extension; service experience enhancement; self-checkout technology; coupons promotion; online hypermarket; and one district one industry (SDSI) market intervention program. Originality/value -The definition of hypermarket in this research paper is streamlined further to differentiate it from a supermarket or shopping mall. With the potential expansion opportunities, it is expected that there will be a clearer path to outgrow this industry.

“…Single parent families are unique in their situation, as they represent the merger of the three roles of buyer, payer and user in a single person (Sheth et al, 1999). Single parent households will also rely heavily on time saving, microwaveable and unhealthy convenience food choices (Ahuja and Walker, 1994;Jamieson, 1996;Arnould et al 2002), this is due to the limited time and income available to single parent families. McNeal and Yeh (2003) contend that a child living with a single parent may lead to the parent giving their child more treats as a result of the child assuming more responsibility for the home.…”

Purpose -Aims to investigate the influence parents perceive their children have on family food-purchasing decisions and discuss the reasons why parents do not always purchase healthy food products. Design/methodology/approach -Quantitative analysis was conducted, using 301 questionnaires which were distributed to parents through a local primary school in Dundee. From this sample 143 were returned. Findings -Most parents acknowledge that their children do influence their purchasing decisions, with 86 (60 percent) agreeing or strongly agreeing that they gave in to their children's demands; however, parents feel that they do not give in to pester power. Parents were aware of health issues and state that they regularly purchase healthy food products for their children. However, many parents admit to buying unhealthy food products for their children as treats.Research limitations/implications -This was an exploratory study and carries the limitation of generalisability as it was conducted solely in Dundee. Any further research should contrast perspectives from other UK cities and develop research into the family dynamics and parents' rationale for "yielding" to their children with regard to junk food. Practical implications -It is suggested that parents "give in" to their children, which demonstrates the importance of "getting" the message across to children to eat more healthily. Further, the paper provides insight into influencing factors, suggesting that advertising can play a prominent role in influencing children's eating habits. Originality/value -This paper is helpful to both academics and practitioners in the field of healthy eating among children. The paper provides some insight into parental perspectives of healthy eating and their responses to pester power.

“…Technology innovation could not occur in a vacuum without any environmental elements, such as demographic, social, lifestyle trends, economic, political and commercial development (Burt & Sparks, 2003). Investment in technology does improve efficiency (Jamieson, 1996). Investment in flexible manufacturing technology within the Malaysian manufacturing industry, for example, has been proven to significantly improved productivity (Dolage, Sade & Elsadig 2010).…”

“…The technology for checkout stations keeps on changing (Health and Safety Executive Books, 1998). Modern technology, such as electric scanners at the checkout station (Jamieson, 1996;Larson & Sijbrands, 1991) will definitely enhance existing checkout operations. From a review of the literature, Dean (2008) determined that the success of self-service technology is due to two factors: 1) reliability and 2) advantage (Meuter, Ostrom, Roundtree & Bitner, 2000).…”

The self-service technology innovation in hypermarket retailing has led to the shopping activity being served by the shopper themselves without relying on any service provider. However, this concept is still not implemented in Malaysia where the self-service concept is still supported by the service provider at the checkout station. This paper is suggesting that a new innovation should be implemented in the Malaysian hypermarket retailing industry by adopting self-service technology at the hypermarket checkout station. This research is developed based on observation conducted at various hypermarket retailing outlets within Malaysia. The findings from the general literature reviews are also gathered to strengthen the existing idea. The focus of this research is on the hypermarket retailing industry within Malaysia, especially in urban areas. Due to the modernization of the shopping trend, it is suggested that the timing might be right to explore implementing the concept of entirely self-service at hypermarkets in Malaysia to enhance the flow efficiency and effectiveness of the checkout operations. It is strongly believed that the introduction of this completely self-service shopping experience will be highly adopted, especially by the young generation in urban areas. This research explores the opportunity to enhance hypermarket retailing operations by upgrading the existing manual checkout station into self-service checkout stations using modern technology. It is expected that the idea for a totally self-service checkout system could be implemented in practice through the robust findings from this research.
