Grow for Good

From Megalomania to Healthy Growth

Grow, yes, but in which direction? The new customer awareness and the global changes affecting raw materials are forcing retailers to fall back on traditional qualities such as meticulousness, patience and love of detail. It is not so much the "time to market" as the "time to excellence" that tips the balance. Because long-term satisfaction is likely to generate more profits than gratification with short-term purchasing incentives. The 58th International Retail Summit will analyse the price of growth – and present health strategies for maintaining a balancing act between bigger and better.

How you benefit
You can gain brand-new insights that are far removed from conventional thinking. Acknowledged experts analyse and discuss the really relevant questions of forward-looking strategies, market potential and growth concepts.

Key questions

  • How is healthy growth achieved?
  • What does the change in values mean for retailing?
  • How are growth and quality faring in the discounter environment?
  • Where is new market potential emerging?
  • Which growth strategies are successful?

Participants

The International Retail Summit is a plattform for CEOs and strategy-oriented executives from retailing, consumer-goods, service and consultancy companies
