Wojciech Piotrowicz	Research: Information Systems, Supply Chain Management, Interests: Information Communication Technology, Performance Management, Sustainable Supply Chain, Management, and 11 more About: Wojciech Piotrowicz is a member of the Faculty of Management, University of Oxford, and a member of the Oxford Institute of Retail Management (OXIRM) at Saїd Business School. Wojciech is an expert on supply chain management, information technology and performance measurement, including sustainability-related indicators. Wojciech is currently working on a major 18 month research project led by Richard Cuthbertson of OXIRM, on the evolution of multi-channel retailing. The project is examining how emerging information technologies can be utilised to encourage shoppers back to the high street against the backdrop of increasing online sales, decreasing footfall in store and increasing costs. Instead of treating online and in-store purchases as two competing channels, the project is exploring how online solutions could be brought into stores to combine the advantages of both. Wojciech is examining the ways in which the physical shopping experience could be enhanced by the benefits generated by emerging technology, such as self-service kiosks and mobile applications used in-store. Such a radical reconfiguring of retail will present challenges to retailers, who must simultaneously address back office support and supply-chain issues to service these innovations and exploit the opportunities of developing technology.
