The task taken on in this study sought to determine whether and to what extent a standardization of purchasing patterns in sectors that converge on the retailing side are being seen. In order to determine the degree of homogeneity of purchasing behaviour, a cross-sectional approach was adopted, tracking the same consumer in different markets (food and consumer electronics). To achieve the cognitive goals, a quantitative survey was carried out on a sample of consumers in a local context with homogeneous characteristics of demand and retailing structure. The results allow us to outline some useful managerial implications in addressing the growing intra-type, inter-type and cross-sector competition.

Abstract: | The task taken on in this study sought to determine whether and to what extent a standardization of purchasing patterns in sectors that converge on the retailing side are being seen. In order to determine the degree of homogeneity of purchasing behaviour, a cross-sectional approach was adopted, tracking the same consumer in different markets (food and consumer electronics). To achieve the cognitive goals, a quantitative survey was carried out on a sample of consumers in a local context with homogeneous characteristics of demand and retailing structure. The results allow us to outline some useful managerial implications in addressing the growing intra-type, inter-type and cross-sector competition. |
