“…In the field of retail research, a qualitative case study method is also supported by several academics (e.g. McGuinness and Hutchinson, 2013; Ritala et al , 2014; Janhonen and Lindström, 2015; Elg and Hultman, 2016). The qualitative case study approach was thus chosen because the research field on digital platforms is still emerging, and there is limited research on the implications and impact of multi-sided digital platforms in the retail context.…”

Purpose Digitalization has transformed several industries during the past two decades. In this paper the authors focus on the retail sector, where new business models help retailers and suppliers meet the ever changing and demanding needs of retail shoppers. One example of this business model innovation is multi-sided digital platforms, which have become popular as they connect consumers with suppliers from around the world with a large ecosystem to support the retail platform. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of how multi-sided digital platforms are transforming the retail exchange logic and assess the implications and impact of these platform-based businesses on the retail sector, especially for business managers and consumers. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the authors employ literature review, conceptual analysis and qualitative case study methodology. The authors provide an overview of how the platform economy is affecting the retail sector through the illustration of four digital multi-sided platforms: Alibaba Group, Amazon.com, eBay and Rakuten Group, and what differentiates them from incumbent business models in retailing. Findings The findings suggest that platforms transform the transaction logic of retailing as they simply intermediate transactions between buyers and suppliers rather than handling the entire supply and logistics chain themselves. The authors highlight the role of consumer understanding and Big Data as one example of how multi-sided digital platforms differentiate from their non-platform competitors. Practical implications The paper highlights how incumbent retailers can compete against new forms of business, such as digital platforms, and the authors demonstrate some of the managerial capabilities needed to remain relevant amidst this new digital competition. Originality/value Very little empirical studies in marketing and retail literature have focused on multi-sided digital platforms and their business models. The present study fills this gap with an overview of how multi-sided digital platforms transform the retail sector.

“…Thematic analysis explained by (Attride-Stirling, 2001) and drawn from similar studies by (Janhonen & Lindström, 2015), and (Albadvi & Hosseini, 2011) will be used to identify emergent themes within the data analysed. This principally because it will allow associated methodological backgrounds to supported by concurrent theoretical conventions and also align to appropriate research questions (Braun & Clarke, 2013).…”

Interest in business management thinking and innovation has continued to growduring recent decades. The Scottish Government identifies that a large proportionof new and start up businesses fail within the first 2 years. Consequently, there aremany areas for the start-up entrepreneur to get information and help, nonethelessthe trend remains. This study offers an alternative method for deciding on intrinsicsuccess factors by outlining the relationship between business start-ups, creativity,and innovation.The focus was on creativity, as an entrepreneurial characteristic, links or effects thestart-up capability of the entrepreneur. The study used a qualitative method tointerpret this complexity and this became more apparent as the study progressessince innovation and innovation which supports a business start-up assume holistic,flux-like and complex concepts. Four main themes emerged from the thematic dataanalysis; Leadership; Ability to Change; Creativeness and Collaboration. Findingsfrom the study indicate that business management thinking and innovationunderpinned by perspective themes, help the entrepreneur see and appreciate thecomplex multi-faceted interactions of innovation, perhaps better than an averageperson. However, actual definition of the precise mechanisms needed to supportbusiness start-ups drawn from creativity were difficult to establish.In conclusion, the study has to say that while elements of creativity were presentwith each of the entrepreneur and were clearly significant to the success of the startup, it would seem very difficult to actually identify if there is such a thing as aguaranteed creativity template for success.

With the shift in paradigm occurring for retailing, this paper puts out a call for academics researching in the area to take up the challenge of novel research rather than the more typical incremental research of the past and present. A thematic analysis of current retail research is presented from the four leading retail journals to identify and illustrate the incremental nature of current research and the standard retail area themes considered by academics. Following this, through seeking what is not in the current incremental research, a series of potential research areas and questions are posed, creating a novel research agenda for the field of retail marketing.
