About "Mall Management" topic:

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.

If you're in no mood to wrestle with the traffic to get to a mall, hop on their free bus or better still, have them send you a cab. If your grandmother's knees aren't able to keep up with your shopping frenzy, get a golf cart to ferry her around for free. As for your children, they will be looked after at the play centre. 'Malls are going the extra mile to cater to every need of their customers. Malls today are going beyond being shopping and entertainment centres and are becoming community centres,' says Kishore Bhatija, chief executive of InOrbit Malls. People living around the In-Orbit Malls in Mumbai, can attend free workshops on varied interests like self defence, calligraphy or fruit ...

In big shopping malls there is no check on sale of Tobacco Products and Liquor and some stores don't even ask for your Age Proof, while selling such products. What do you have to say about it.
Gangadhar GangaSagar  |  Answered  |  4 years ago
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...
Jaygopal Raghavan  |  Answered  |  4 years ago

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
