“…In our team bonus experiment, we find positive efficiency effects on average, which benefit both the firm and the workers. The fact that workers also benefited is very important and in stark contrast to the evidence discussed in Hortaçsu and Syverson (2015) who established that the productivity gains in the US retail sector did not benefit workers. We believe our results to be applicable in a wide set of contexts; the kind of small teams we incentivized through our experiment are representative not only for retail but also many other service industries.…”

The United States has long been viewed as having among the world's most entrepreneurial, dynamic, and flexible economies. It is often argued that this dynamism and flexibility has enabled the US economy to adapt to changing economic circumstances and recover from recessions in a robust manner. While the evidence provides broad support for this view, the outcomes of entrepreneurship are more heterogeneous than commonly appreciated and appear to be evolving in ways that could raise concern. Evidence along a number of dimensions and a variety of sources points to a US economy that is becoming less dynamic. Of particular interest are declining business startup rates and the resulting diminished role for dynamic young businesses in the economy.We begin by describing how the concept of entrepreneurship is reflected in existing data on firm age and size. The recent addition of firm age to official statistics represents a dramatic improvement in the information available to entrepreneurship researchers. We then turn to a discussion of the role of startup firms in job creation. Business startups account for about 20 percent of US gross (total) job creation while high-growth businesses (which are disproportionately young)

“…Supporting this, Brynjolfsson et al [13] emphasize that the line between online and offline retail is blurring with the advent of technologies, creating a challenging environment. Hortaçsu and Syverson [14] conclude that rapid growth of online retail and intrinsic strength of offline retail indicate potential for a blend of both.

Customers’ approach towards shopping has transformed, as a result of their reduced tolerance, increased technology usage and being well informed than ever before. As customers expect a seamless shopping experience regardless of where they are engaged within a retailer’s network, the line between physical and digital retailing is blurring. Retailers across the world are contemplating on transforming into Omnichannel hubs to deliver an elevated experience anytime anywhere. And, experts have often indicated that an Omnichannel strategy delivers a unified shopping experience than a mere channel experience. However, the true Omnichannel experience is still not evident in India with minimal action in this space, indicating a subverted outlook towards building necessary Omnichannel Capabilities. This paper examines the most essential and significant technology dimensions that are imperative towards fostering a seamless Omnichannel Retail Experience. The findings of this study serve as a basis for retailers in India to evaluate their strategies towards adopting these technology dimensions and respective capabilities, using an optimized approach. The study employed a quantitative research involving survey of executives from major retailers in India. The quantitative data was analyzed applying Structural Equation Modeling, to ascertain the technology dimensions that emerged and their significance in deriving Omnichannel Retail Experience.
