http://perspectivesmarketing.blogspot.com/2009/08/whats-next-for-modern-retail.html
Tuesday, August 25, 2009. What's next for modern retail?

I’ll talk about the two issues that I think, plague the industry and will come to the forefront in a short time. And Microsoft’s Shopper Basket Analysis Tool.

Friday, July 3, 2009. In my previous posts I have always criticized Masters of Business Administration course and its usefulness. This post will be a welcome break.

Few top answers are. 1 I want to be an entrepreneur. 2 I am a Manager in the Making. 3 I want to expertise in Finance, so on and so forth. MBA for me is about following things. Links to this post.

This external positioning is in sync with the young Indian population, oozing with confidence and ready to take off. This refreshing positioning of Vodafone is reflected in its every aspect like brochures, Vodafone shops, customer care executives. Links to this post.
