Preface
While searching for a suitable topic for the MMS Dissertation, I happened to
meet a person from the Retail Sector, who suggested to me the topic on the
Retail Sector of India. During the course of the discussion, it transpired that
the problems that this sector faces is with respect to Foreign Direct
Investment, Supply Chain Aspects and the intense competitive scenario in
future say 2014 or 2015.
The topics having aroused my curiosity, discussions were held with several
people in the retail sector to understand the veracity of the above thought
process and also understand the real issues plaguing the industry.
All these aspects then resulted in the development of the project report titled
‘Foreign Direct Investment, Supply Chain Aspects and the Competitive
Scenario of the Retail Sector in India – An Analysis of Problems, Implications
and Perspectives with a case study of Pantaloon India Ltd.’
It is strongly hoped that this project covers not only the various requirements
of the Project Study but also of the Industry.
