| Tiivistelmä: | The author of this paper considers Stanley Kalms and his MD John Clare, the dynamic Dixons duo. They have bought out or shot down most of their rivals in electrical retailing, and the surprise success of Freeserve brought them a billion-pound payoff. The author answers the question whether their formidable machine can survive the high street meltdown. Dixons is under attack from new players such as Wal-Mart, and continues to defend itself against allegations that it overcharges. The author also states that Dixons has had it hard days but there are no chinks showing in its armour at the moment and provides Stanley's and John's short biographies and answers the question whether they could become the next great British retailer to fall. |
