| Abstract: | The management of productivity among high-performing retailers in Europe, Japan, and the USA is examined. While the majority of the foreign firms interviewed for this study followed a formal productivity planning process, successful USA retailers were less likely to follow an elaborate productivity plan and were instead guided by their strategic plans. The activities of these retailing firms are classified into three categories: management of technology and physical resources; market driven strategies including product development and sourcing; and human resources management. In addition, most firms that follow a plan audit their productivity to assess their level of success. |
