Retailers today face many challenges, including increasing competitive
pressures, thin margins, high occupancy costs and unpredictable supply
base that come in the way of their attaining operational efficiency and
profitability. As organized retail grows, the market will only become
more competitive and developers will have to work hard to
differentiate.

Faulty mall management along with inappropriate tenant
mix would lead to poor mall traffic and closure of individual stores in
malls. Professional third party mall management service providers are
hence likely to come to the fore. They not only understand these
business challenges, but also have the ability to help retailers
effectively deal with them.
So, lets have a discussion mall management....

I assume you are talking about malls in India, right? Why should purchasing tobacco and liquor from mall be any different than buying cigarettes from a corner "pan-stall"? The point I am trying to make is, malls can impose age limits for these...

Why not? Shopping Malls are about choices and range. There is nothing wrong in selling them in Malls. But personally i feel it should be done with general warnings like the smoking is injurious or dont drink and drive messages displayed...

The other day I was in a restaurant and saw a sign advertising "Sliders Fridays." From what I gathered, they offered a deep discount on tiny hamburgers, called sliders, on Friday nights. The interesting thing about this discovery is that I own the restaurant and it's the first I knew of it. (Stacey's at Waterford: www.eatatstaceys.com ) I don't just own the restaurant. I also manage it, although I use that term loosely. I've taken the concept of hands-off management to the next level. Most of the time I have no idea what the staff is up to. They organize customer events, execute marketing ideas, hire and fire, change the menu, and pretty much anything else they want. I only get involved if there is a largish expense that needs to be approved. I see the financials daily, by e-mail, but I'm mostly about the bottom line. As a well-known critic of managers, I painted a big red bulls eye on my back when I started managing the restaurant. For the first year I was involved in the details...

In many ways, a manager has to be a leader, so therefore a manager will have many of the traits that a leader does. However, I feel the term 'manager' applies primarily to business, it's in a manager's best interest to lead his co-workers effectively, encouraging them to achieve their goals and targets. In my experience, a leader is more of a social thing; more associated with team work, too. Go to Discussion http://lnkd.in/wUJe5E
