Towards retail innovation and ambidexterity: insights from a Swedish retailer

Karla Marie B. Paredes et al.

Summary: This research explores how incumbent retail firms can organize for innovation based on the type of innovation they aim for, using organizational ambidexterity as a perspective. The study finds that for radical, strategic innovation, structural ambidexterity is necessary, but integration of innovation activities into the mainstream organization is critical. For incremental and operational innovations, contextual ambidexterity, where employees divide their time between innovation-related and efficiency-related tasks, is more suitable.

Personalizing 3D virtual fashion stores: an action research approach to modularity development

Juanjuan Wu et al.

Summary: The authors conducted an action research study to understand current commercial offerings in modular designs in virtual environments and to develop modularity based on consumer input for personalizing 3D virtual fashion stores. They identified modules and modular options for personalizing 3D virtual stores through content analysis of consumers' post-design focus group discussions, and conceptualized a total of nine modules and 38 modular options for personalization. This study enriches design theories on cocreation systems and extends the application of mass customization theory to retail environments.
