Purpose This paper aims to examine empirically whether and under what organisational design conditions retailers can benefit from private label (PL) merchandising improvement. Design/methodology/approach The study tests hypotheses using a structural equation model and data obtained from general merchandise managers at 190 supermarket retailers in Japan. Findings The results reveal that both centralised merchandising authority and store cooperation between merchandising and store divisions motivate PL merchandising improvement, which strengthens PL competitiveness. In addition, outcome-based merchandiser control strengthens the positive relationship between store cooperation and PL merchandising improvement. However, regarding centralised merchandising authority, it is found that outcome-based control had no significant moderating effect. Research limitations/implications To generalise the findings, it may be desirable to reflect data from store divisions for at least two constructs of interdepartmental structure and coordination. Also, it will remain a challenge to produce objective financial outcomes, such as sales, profits or market share, of PL merchandise to empirically test PL contributions to a retail store or company. Practical implications It is important for retail managers to understand their merchandisers’ efforts and behaviours to continuously improve PL merchandising activities. It is strongly recommended that retail managers continue to find ways to motivate their merchandisers. Originality/value Drawing on the philosophy of continuous improvement, this study suggests a novel approach to retail merchandising management that investigates how organisational design can influence better PL merchandising. To highlight the growing role of retail merchandisers, often ignored in the PL literature, this study advances this knowledge about the organisational design–strategic behaviour linkage by empirically testing interactions between different aspects of retail organisation design.

Over more than two decades the authors and their research colleagues have investigated different ways of using enterprise, simulation and workflow modelling techniques to structure and support decision making during organisation design and change projects. This has involved collaborative research with large and small scale manufacturing enterprises [1]. The investigations have demonstrated and advanced the potential to use enterprise models that ‘externalise and share knowledge about enterprise processes and systems’. By so doing, enhanced understanding of enterprise structures, processes and resource systems can be obtained and used to improve the interactions between system components so as to realise desired business performance and constrain unwanted behaviours.

Epidemiological Situation

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to present the peculiarity of telework as a form of providing work relation in the crisis situation in the organisation. Design/methodology/approach: The article demonstrates the term of telework, its legal regulations, advantages and disadvantages of telework as well as shows the results of empirical study concerning this issue in the period of Covid-19 pandemic. The article is based on the literature review in this scope and presents the results of secondary study relating to the telework in Polish companies during the pandemic. Findings: The considerations presented in the article indicate that the epidemiological situation connected with coronavirus enforced the necessity to take immediate and efficient actions to implement telework widely, which got a big group of supporters both among employers as well as employees. It is likely that home office may be the main form of providing work relation, e.g. the office one, in the nearest future. Originality/value: The value of this paper is theoretical. The possibilities of implementing remote work were presented in the paper concerning its advantages and limitations, with the particular consideration of Polish work market. The paper is original due to its multiaspect approach to the academic issue whereas the obtained results may be useful both for management practitioners as well as may be an inspiration for further research.
