Il mondo del retail ha subito dei cambiamenti radicali, con l’avvento dei primi canali di vendita online e con il costante ricorso a processi di digitalizzazione. Per fare fronte a tali cambiamenti, molte aziende del settore retail hanno iniziato a sviluppare strategie e modelli di business in grado di sfruttare al meglio le opportunità del “mondo digitale”, iniziando a ripensare le proprie strategie in un’ottica multicanale. Il lavoro di ricerca si focalizza sulla valutazione del livello di integrazione multi canale raggiunto da un retailer di piccole – medie dimensioni, cercando inoltre di fornire un prima analisi degli impatti sulle performance complessive dell’organizzazione considerata. In particolare si riscontra che l’efficacia di una strategia multicanale, si massimizza principalmente grazie all’incremento delle competenze in termini di information technology all’interno dell’azienda (Lih-Bin, Hock-Hai, & Vallabh, 2012). L’analisi empirica rileva, altresì, che l’IT risulta un attivatore fondamentale per avviare un processo di integrazione dei flussi informativi trasversalmente a diversi canali (o touchpoint) (Neslin et al. 2006), fornendo quindi una esperienza multicanale integrata. Si prospetta pertanto, una importante sfida competitiva che i retailer dovranno affrontare, e che richiede delle specifiche competenze in termini di innovazione e di management.

Abstract
Retailing has undergone radical changes with the advent of online sales channels and the constant use of the digital technology. To face these changes, many retail companies have begun to develop new strategies and adapt their business models, in order to exploit opportunities of the new "digital world". They start to rethink their strategies in a multichannel view. The research focuses on the multichannel integration reached by a small and medium retailer; it also tries to understand which are the preliminary impacts on the overall performance. Particularly the effectiveness of a multi-channel strategy, has mainly maximized thanks to the IT competencies of the retailer (Lih-Bin, Hock-Hai, & Vallabh, 2012). The empirical analysis also highlights that IT competence is an important activator to start the information integration process, in order to share the same information through different channels (touchpoint) (Neslin et al. 2006), and to provide an integrated multichannel customer experience. So the small and medium retailers face a major competitive challenge, which requires specific skills in terms of innovation and management.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
