| Abstract | This study probes into a large-scale retail chain store in the central business district (CBD) and discusses how chain stores avoid competitors and its own market fields to explore availabilities of commercial opportunity and economic development. This study adapts Voronoi diagram technique, which is applied as a new method in the field of technology management, in order to optimize the selection of new locations. In this study, the concept of center place theory (CPT) provides an important value of studying industrial market development of Voronoi technique using geographic information system (GIS). This study constructs an algorithm to optimize the decision-making in the selection of new chain store location. According to the literature reviews, three most important factors affecting the decision-making of selecting a new location for stores are transportation, population, and site. It is necessary to calculate the optimal service ranges and conduct the comprehensive analysis of weighted Voronoi diagram (WVD) for these three critical factors. The biggest weight in WVD is chosen in this study as the general goal area of a new chain location, and then using the concept of Cone of Influence to find a smaller area for the specific store location within the WVD areas. This optimized new store location should be the ideal selection for business development of large-scale retail chain stores. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
