AWESOME

Excellent reference, great cases, course textbok

This is an excellent reference book for retail management. It covers most issues, the classic situations and the current ones. It is a must-read for your store manager. We give this as a gift to every new director and follow up on their book feedback. It has great study cases and it would already be worth only for those. It is a little heavy as it is a course textbook, therefore it is easiest to read as a reference for every subject as needed. Final comment: Do not look anywhere else, this is the book you need!

Basic introduction with a few bright spots

This book serves as a basic introduction to retail, though it often feels like "baby talk". It basically describes, without much analysis, the types of policies retailers adopt in several areas including merchandising, inventory management, ordering, HR, finance, store layout, etc. Good as a reference to what others are doing, but not at the cutting edge of retail.
