With the pandemic grabbing up places all over the world, the decline in businesses, macro and micro, is inevitable. Among these businesses is the retail sector which plays an important role for any economy. Retail sector covers all the basic necessities that a human being needs. Retail sector is dependent on many factors that drive the sales of a company and the most vital one is the customer retention. With eruption of technology it is highly important to underscore the importance of social media and advanced technology.   The main reason for that is the number of options the customers have. Due to this the switching cost is low. From the porter’s analysis, we can clearly conclude that the bargaining power of the buyer is high for most retail commodities. Many customers are loyal towards a brand because of the brand image, so it is highly important that a company fulfills its CSR programs in a way that can grab the attention of the customers and glue them to the brand. This brand image can also be connected to the store ambience.

The Relationship

The sugarcane sector has been gaining more importance in both Brazilian and World economies, even though it has had a lack of agricultural investments and climate issues has generated questionings about the future of the sector. To analyse this trend, the present work was based on the following growth strategies: internal growth, horizontal integration, diversification, and vertical integration. The objective of the present research is to assess the relationship between these types of strategies and macro-environmental variables in order to determine any possible correlation. Bibliographic and documental survey on the behaviour of macro-environment variables was carried out. The Pearson’s correlation test was used to identify the relationship between these variables and growth strategies. It was possible to observe that each type of growth strategy is related to one specific type of variable, which is exclusive to each strategy, except in the case of diversification. That is, electric energy prices have a correlation with internal growth and the real growth rate is correlated with horizontal growth. None of these macro-environmental variables repeated in other growth strategies. The only exception was the diversification strategy, which was correlated with eight variables, with five of these being exclusive to this type of strategy.

Corporate Power

This paper provides an empirical investigation into the empirics of cumulative and circular causation (CCC) model. Relying on their corporate power, corporations have stimulated the rising consumerism, which has increased both private consumption and debt. On the other hand, increasing debt has enhanced the process of rising inequality due to the lack of funding to invest in education or create savings. Rising inequality has further increased the bargaining power of capital and closed the CCC model. This paper tests the proposed theoretical model on a sample of OECD countries in the period between 1990 and 2013. We show that the growing corporate power causes increased consumption, growing household and public debt, as well as higher inequality. The paper makes several original contributions to the existing literature. First, it is the first empirical investigation of the CCC relationship. Second, it extends the knowledge about the trends of rising corporate power and consumerism at macro level.

Abstract This article aims to review the structural transformation in the container shipping industry from 1995 to 2020 and identify the growth strategies of global carriers to enhance their market presence. Along with large investments in mega vessels, the growing deployment of charter capacity in all ship sectors has been a prominent trend in fleet expansion. The waves of mergers/acquisitions and bankruptcies have narrowed the group of global carriers. In addition to internal and external growth, they have been increasingly involved in strategic alliances to expand service coverage and compete well with powerful rivals. A few mega carriers have progressively captured the industry. In 2020, the Top 12 controlled 88 % of the global supply, and nearly 56 % was in the hands of the Top 4. Besides the substantial expansion of the four biggest carriers, we can identify the de-concentration within this gigantic group through the less inequality between their market shares.
