Abstract
Channel Integration is a crucial task for retailers in order to generate a seamless customer experience. This is particularly the case for assortments.
Customers expect an identical assortment along all channels or customer confusion can occur, potentially leading to purchase abandonment or postponement and
thus to losses in sales. Mental models can help to simplify complex systems and
behaviour and can support managers in decision-making processes. This paper
builds on a mental model approach to visualize the dynamics and trade-offs of the
three critical objectives in omnichannel assortment management: assortment integration, customer confusion reduction, and purchase postponement/abandonment
reduction, to assist retailers in decision-making through the depiction of different
scenarios and objective achievements. Recommendations for actions are provided
for each scenario eventually helping retail managers in improving understanding
and decision-making for omnichannel assortment decisions.
