Changing face of Retail Industry in India

It is estimated that globally retail industry is worth to be around $6.6 trillion.

In India, the retail revolution started since 1991 with the opening of the retail store Stopper’s Shop in Mumbai. Today, although India boasts of having around 12 million retail outlets, organized retailing accounts for only about 3%. Rest (about 97%) is unorganized which needs to be tapped diligently. The retail industry is poised for a major growth as it assumes significant changes with the changes in the consumer-buying pattern and with the adoption of newer technology in force. The study may focus on:

Shifting focus from urban areas to rural areas.

Concentrating on the unorganized sector for the growth of industry.

Boost to employment opportunities.

It’s emergence as a platform for promoting various other sectors.

Consequences of entry of foreign retailers.

Web Trade Technologies: Challenges, Opportunities and Threats

Every web user is a potential provider and/or consumer of web services and thus introduces many new issues.

How could a service consumer verify that the information provided to him is reliable?

What should he do when a web service fails to deliver?

How would trustworthiness and reputation measures affect the price of the service?

What types of relations are worthwhile to establish between a consumer and a provider (e.g. ad-hoc or long-term)?

Should there be coalitions of consumers?

We believe that the emergence of such marketplaces is imminent, and poses many challenges and opportunities that have not yet been addressed and as a part of anveshi we intend to explore these issues.

Creating a Productive, Satisfying and Focused Organization

The Human Resources Department is becoming the focal point of organizations today. Most HR departments today are outsourcing all non value-adding activities and are focusing on activities that are future oriented.
