Precision Retailing
Driving Results with Behavioral Insights and Data Analytics
Without a doubt, the COVID-19 era has forced the retail sector to rethink the way it conducts business. Customer experience has largely shifted into the digital realm, and questions have emerged about how to best optimise and evolve business operations in light of this change.
Drawing on a host of expert contributors, Precision Retailing takes a broad perspective of precision retailing as the interaction point between individuals, organisations, institutions, systems, and policies that support them in ever-changing contexts. The book assembles precision retailing key concepts, methods, and tools that complement existing behavioural research. The decision support tools will help managers better capture in real-time the multiscale drivers of consumer behaviour and successfully integrate these into their retail strategy and tactics. Each chapter includes a short strategic brief for successful human-centred digital transformation that focuses squarely on actionable insights for practitioners. Shedding light on the way we understand and handle this complex customer journey, Precision Retailing examines how retail will evolve in the post-COVID era, shaping how businesses meet their future, and the inevitable continuation of the digital transition.
