About this book

`...easy to read, full of checklists and assignments and equally useful, we feel, to lecturers, tutors, students - and those already involved in running retail outlets.' Women in Enterprise This book is about making a profit in retailing - what can help and what can prevent a profit being made. It is also about keeping track of money and stock and making sure the working environment is a safe and productive one. The book is broadly based with examples from backgrounds ranging from the corner shop to the large department store with helpful group assignments and many lively illustrations. The two books together cover most of the learning objectives of The Retail Certificate in its City and Guilds, RSA, Pitman and BTEC variants.
