Issues in Retailing How can we best serve our customers while earning
a fair profit? How can we stand out in a highly competitive
environment where consumers have so many
choices?
High unemployment, low consumer confidence, high
savings rates have reduced consumer spending. At
the same time retail competition has increased
through increased format blurring (sales of cameras
at office supply stores, carpeting and major
appliances at home improvement centers).
How can we grow our business while retaining a
core of loyal customers?
