Definition of Terms
This chapter presents the review of the literature and the findings of previous
research to which the current study is related or has some similarity. This provided the
researcher with sufficient background in order to fully understand the study.
After the pandemic is over, the restaurant industry will not look the same.
Dine-in is going to be different – with spacing, airflow, contact less transactions
and more. Takeout/delivery are already stealing share from dine- in and that trend is
likely to continue. How consumers view their relationships with restaurants will shift
from going to the restaurant to eat to just swing by on the way home from work and
get a good meal for the family to eat at home. No one knows exactly how it’s all
going to play out, but what we can do is listen to consumers and operate in a lean
environment allowing for testing, changing and ongoing optimization to grow our
businesses in “The New Normal.”
The optimal pricing strategy of a news vendor retailer in a market with
strategic consumers. Consumers are heterogeneous (strategic, myopic and bargain
hunting) and their product valuations are unknown to the retailer. The retailer uses
different price discounts to inform consumers about their selling strategy in the
product/brand introduction stage.
Our study explores the bestselling strategy across different product
development stages. We develop a news vendor framework to investigate the overall
effects of strategic buying behavior on pricing strategies and identify conditions where
fixed pricing, strategic high pricing, and high-low pricing are appropriate. We
analytically compare the profits of three pricing strategies. We show that high-low
pricing is best only if the offered discount is relatively small. Fixed pricing is the best
approach only if strategic consumers comprise a small population and the offered
discount for high-low pricing is relatively big.
Otherwise, strategic high-pricing strategy is best. Numerical investigations
further confirm the structural result under multiple settings. Our results imply that the
needed markdown discount and the market size of existing strategic consumers play
crucial roles in pricing strategy selection.
Online food ordering has grown in popularity among consumers and
restaurants since the technology of the 21st century has enabled humans to perform a
diverse set of tasks over the Internet. Consumers have gravitated toward these
technological innovations because of their ease, speed, and precision; at the same
time, allowing restaurant operators to acquire more profit (Dixon et al., 2009). Current
technology has allowed consumers to order food through restaurant websites or
mobile applications, via Facebook or
Instagram, by text or phone, and through online food ordering platforms or apps (e.g.,
DoorDash, Uber Eats).
Online food ordering has been found to increase restaurants’ revenue, improve
capacity management, productivity, transactional marketing, and management of
customer relationships (Kimes and Laque, 2011). The major reasons consumers
ordered food online was for convenience and control, while those who prefer human
interaction might not have used these services (Kimes, 2011a). However, consumers’
interaction preferences might be different after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Çiğdem Karakaya, Bertan Badur and Can Aytekin conducted a study, entitled,
“Analyzing the Effectiveness of Marketing Strategies in the Presence of Word of
Mouth: Agent-Based Modeling Approach” in 2017. Consumers are the ultimate
source of revenue for companies and it is vital to understand consumers in order to
gain a competitive advantage in the market. Traditional market models generally
concentrate on single individuals rather than taking social interactions into account.
However, individuals are tied to one another with invisible bonds and the influence an
individual receives from others, affects her purchasing decision which is known as
word of mouth (WOM) effect. In this process, some people have greater influence on
other consumers’ buying decisions that are known as opinion leaders. Consumers are
connected in numerous ways that were not available before. Internet plays a vital role
by connecting consumers through social networking sites, blogs, wikis,
recommendations sites.
In conclusion, when the WOM is in effect, product quality is the most
important factor that influences consumers’ buying decisions. Promotion strategy of
the company is the second important factor that triggers consumers buying
motivation. Decreasing price and increasing number of opinion leaders to collaborate
with do not lead to significant increase in number of buyers, when the product quality
is under the consumers’ expectations.
Marketing strategy is a construct that lies at the conceptual heart of the field of
strategic marketing and is central to the practice of marketing. It is also the area
within which many of the most pressing current challenges identified by marketers
and CMOs arise. Using a new conceptualization of the domain of the marketing
strategy construct as a lens, we assess the current state of marketing strategy research.
We uncover important challenges to marketing strategy research but also numerous
opportunities for developing important and highly relevant new marketing strategy
knowledge. The research agenda we develop provides opportunities for researchers to
develop new theory, establish clear relevance, and contribute to improving practice.
Since many of these cannot be adequately addressed with current publicly available
secondary data, researchers need to become more eclectic and creative in their
research designs, including emerging new technologies for data capture and analysis
(Morgan, NA, Whitler, KA, Feng, H et al., 2019)
