ABSTRACT
Management skills are the key to implementing changes to retail supply chains. Effective retail supply chain management (SCM) requires broad skills everywhere from strategy-making to improvement of operating processes. This is counter to the mindset in many organizations. The conventional mindset holds that retail SCM is limited in scope, confined either to procurement or physical distribution. In other words, it has a role in controlling costs but no role in improving strategic position. Company’s merchants and store management implement strategy.
