    • Elementer som påvirker varelagereffektivitet og dens effekt på finansielle prestasjoner - En økonometrisk paneldataundersøkelse på utvalgte norske byggevarekjeder. 

      Breivik, Jørgen; Arntzen, Anders (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2015-05-29)
      Analysen benytter paneldata basert på offisielle regnskapsdata for til sammen 91 norske byggevarebutikker, tilhørende tre byggevarekjeder, for perioden 1998–2013. Det er benyttet økonometrisk metode på fast og tilfeldig effekt-modeller. Undersøkelsen finner sterke indikasjoner for at virksomheter med høy varelagereffektivitet også har sterkere finansielle prestasjoner enn virksomheter med svak ...

    • The heterogeneity of shoppers’ supermarket behaviors based on the use of carrying equipment 

      Larsen, Nils Magne; Sigurdsson, Valdimar; Breivik, Jørgen; Orquin, Jacob Lund (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-28)
      Research on in-store behavior has largely focused on shoppers with carts. In a study involving 15 stores and a total of 3540 shoppers, we document that only 20 percent of shoppers actually use shopping carts, while 28 percent use baskets and 51 percent use no carrying equipment. To better understand the role of carrying equipment, we collected data in a second study from 635 complete shopping trips ...

    • Measuring inventory turnover efficiency using stochastic frontier analysis: building materials and hardware retail chains in Norway. 

      Breivik, Jørgen; Larsen, Nils Magne; Thyholdt, Sverre Braathen; Myrland, Øystein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-08-26)
      Operational efficiency in the retail business is vital in order to be profitable in a competitive environment. This paper investigates how environmental factors, firm size and time trends are linked to inventory performance. We use location data, demographic data and 16 years of financial accounting data from small and medium-sized home improvement retailers to explain inventory performance at a ...

    • Retail chain affiliation and time trend effects on inventory turnover in Norwegian SMEs 

      Breivik, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-04-25)
      Inventory is a significant and important asset for retailers and represents what a store has to offer its customers for instant purchase; at the same time, considerable costs are associated with holding inventory. In this study, we use inventory turnover as a measure of inventory performance. We build upon previous research and use firm-specific measures to untangle the link between inventory ...

    • Sosial distansering i dagligvarebutikker: Kundeatferd før, under og etter annonsering av koronarestriksjoner 

      Larsen, Nils Magne; Breivik, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Sosial distansering har vært myndighetenes fremste tiltak mot smittespredning under koronapandemien (covid-19). Å distansere seg fra andre mennesker er spesielt utfordrende i butikker hvor kundestrømmen styres etter forretningsmessige prinsipper, og ikke ut fra et smittevernhensyn. Denne artikkelen belyser hvilke utfordringer et normalt bevegelsesmønster i butikker byr på med hensyn til sosial ...

    • Two pawns in their game - Inventory and customer efficiency 

      Breivik, Jørgen (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2023-01-16)
      This thesis examines efficiency in the retail industry in two different directions. In the first setting, the link between inventory efficiency and performance is examined in relation to firm characteristics and exogenous explanatory variables. More specifically, in addition to general firm-specific characteristics, the effects of chain affiliation and time trends within retail chains is examined. ...

    • The Use of Observational Technology to Study In-Store Behavior: Consumer Choice, Video Surveillance, and Retail Analytics 

      Larsen, Nils Magne; Sigurdsson, Valdimar; Breivik, Jørgen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-02)
      In in-store experimental analysis the store is the main laboratory. The paper provides an introduction to the research program aimed at improving the research practices in this laboratory, with a particular emphasis on the importance of behavioral data and the new opportunities that technology offers. In this modern day complicated “Skinner box” there are sets of well-studied stimuli – behavior ...
