Wind-powered shipping could make a comeback—but it won’t work for everything

ƽ��岻�� — Mon, 28 Oct 2024 18:26:24 +0000

Wind has been powering the economy for centuries. Long before giant aluminum windmills were fed into the electric grid, wind filled the sails of ships plying the open seas. French businessman Guillaume Le Grand wants to bring back wind-powered shipping, and his company is already shipping French goods to North America that way. However, the approach will work better for some products than others, according to Vice-Dean of Faculty Saibal Ray.

Holiday grocery price freeze includes more products this year, but long-term affordability solutions needed

ƽ��岻�� — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 18:20:32 +0000

This year, Canada’s large grocery chains are freezing the price for a greater variety of items than usual before the holidays. While 10-15% more products are included in the freeze this year, the true test of affordability will come later. “How high will grocery prices be when the price freeze ends?” asks Professor Saibal Ray in an interview with CBC Radio’s As It Happens.

Canada's big grocery chains face pressure to cut prices as food costs rise

ƽ��岻�� — Fri, 10 Nov 2023 17:54:42 +0000

Food prices rose by 5.8 per cent in September, prompting the federal government to ask Canada’s five largest grocery chains to provide a plan for how they will stabilize prices, with staple products a likely focus. “High transportation costs, inventory issues and other pressures driving up costs are subsiding,” says Professor Saibal Ray, who specializes in Operations Management. Ray, commenting to Financial Post and Toronto Star, suspects the grocers’ promises to Ottawa will involve price cuts.

How far is too far for retail innovation?

ƽ��岻�� — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 22:24:08 +0000

Professor Saibal Ray, academic director of the Bensadoun School of Retail Management, is concerned that the ongoing rise in retail technologies like self-checkout kiosks and smartphone-based order facilities may backfire as some shoppers find these features inconvenient and frustrating. While technology has proven useful for navigating social distancing guidelines, it can only go so far before it disrupts people’s sense of comfort and control, he says.

New trucker vaccine mandate adds to supply chain woes

ƽ��岻�� — Fri, 21 Jan 2022 22:14:23 +0000

As of January 15, truckers crossing from the U.S. to Canada must show proof of vaccination to enter the country. Canadian truckers are exempt from the federal mandate but must quarantine for 14 days upon their return. In a recent broadcast of “CBC News: The National,” Professor Saibal Ray, Academic Director of the Bensadoun School of Retail Management, says the mandate could result in significant supply shortages. The segment begins at the 8:50 mark.

Shedding light on liquor shortages

ƽ��岻�� — Sun, 19 Dec 2021 22:47:22 +0000

Amid supply chain bottlenecks overseas, Canada is facing a significant shortage of imported liquor, leading provincial liquor authorities to encourage early, local shopping for holiday favourites.

This holiday season is make-or-break for retailers

ƽ��岻�� — Wed, 08 Dec 2021 17:11:40 +0000

In light of ongoing supply chain bottlenecks and labour shortages, businesses may not offer their deepest discounts this holiday season.

Shedding light on the supply chain dilemma

ƽ��岻�� — Wed, 01 Dec 2021 20:51:32 +0000

As retailers anticipate a welcome uptick in sales amid the holiday shopping season, manufacturing and delivery delays continue to limit just how much profit retailers can expect.

Slowing the vehicle supply chain

ƽ��岻�� — Mon, 15 Nov 2021 21:47:31 +0000

In the race to cut down on global carbon emissions, many experts are turning their attention to automotive manufacturers and their customers. As a potential solution to slowing the vehicle supply chain, Professor Saibal Ray, Academic Director at the Bensadoun School of Retail Management, suggests a collective pivot toward car rentals or other ride-share services in place of purchasing personal vehicles. The move would significantly decrease the number of cars in factories and on the road.

In-store technology is transforming retail spaces

ƽ��岻�� — Mon, 23 Aug 2021 17:58:51 +0000

Throughout the pandemic, in-store technologies like price-check kiosks and self-checkout have created a more convenient shopping experience for consumers and provided retailers with greater access to valuable data on shopping habits. But consumers are concerned about privacy, and retailers may not have the necessary resources to purchase and upkeep in-store tech.

Frictionless shopping pays off

ƽ��岻�� — Thu, 17 Jun 2021 14:25:43 +0000

As convenient becomes more synonymous with contactless, Professor Saibal Ray, Academic Director of the Bensadoun School of Retail Management, sees a wealth of opportunity for retailers to innovate.

By providing more digital options, both in-store and online, retailers can set the stage for a boost in sales and customer loyalty that exceeds their investment in technology upgrades.

Behind Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine shortage

ƽ��岻�� — Wed, 31 Mar 2021 15:34:01 +0000

Professor Saibal Ray recently made a guest appearance on The Bill Kelly Show on Global News Radio to discuss the current vaccine shortage in Canada.

From Ray’s perspective, politics has played a central role in many countries’ decision to reserve vaccines for their own citizens, but navigating a complex supply chain has also factored into the difficulties experienced by countries like Canada.

One year later, COVID-19 still disrupting supply and demand

ƽ��岻�� — Thu, 18 Mar 2021 18:15:09 +0000

According to Professor Saibal Ray, most companies were ill-prepared to deal with the surging demand for essential goods after the outbreak of the pandemic in March 2020.

Panic buying and hoarding combined with transport shutdowns to make shortages even more severe.

One year later, we are still feeling the ripple effects of the initial shock to the supply chain.

Mass vaccination possible for Canada despite supply shortage

ƽ��岻�� — Mon, 22 Feb 2021 13:39:13 +0000

ƽ��岻�� — Mon, 20 Jul 2020 19:55:36 +0000

For the last several decades we have been conditioned to assume that necessities like food items and cleaning supplies will be readily available whenever we require them.
