In 2012, the Indian Government threw open the gates to foreign investment in multi-brand retail in a bid to tap the combined mammoth potential of the retail and agriculture sector.This reform was roundly attacked by opponents saying that it would threaten the existence of unorganised retail or the traditional mom and pop stores. There were also speculations that the reform would lead to exploitation of farmers by foreign retail chains since they would pressurise them to sell their produce at cut-throat prices. All this would put a financial strain on the economy. To unravel this dilemma, we studied the impact of recent economic reforms on FDIin multi-brand retail particularly onthe unorganised retail outlets and also onthe farmers and economy. Primary research amongst consumers revealed that the advent of FDI based multibrand stores would not have an adverse effect on sales ofthe mom and pop stores. We also carried out extensive secondary research to studythe pros and cons of FDI in multi-brand retailin other countriesas well as the relative strengths and weaknesses of foreign retail chains via-a-vis unorganised retail.Findings showed that the weaknesses (and threats) of foreign retailers outnumber the inherent strengths (and opportunities) of mom & pop stores. Moreover there are enough global success stories wherein foreign retail giants have co-existed with the local retail entities and have even taken initiatives to benefit them.The paper thus supports FDI in multi-brand retail in India with arguments from point of view of various stakeholders.

Scientific Essay from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Trade and Distribution, language: English, abstract: ABSTRACT With US President's visit, Planning Commission has given green signal to FDI in multi brand retailing. Only 51 per cent FDI in single-brand retail is permitted in India. Multi brand retailers were only allowed to operate wholesale outlets. The paper will cover how FDI in retail sector can be introduced, benefits of allowing FDI, how to have control over the global players, and how local retailers can survive in spite of the big players. The retail industry in India is of late often being hailed as one of the sunrise sectors in the economy. Emergence of organized retail sector in India has more to do with increasing purchasing power of buyers and modern supply and logistic management techniques. With a contribution of 14% to the national GDP and employing 7% of the total workforce (only agriculture employs more) in the country, the retail industry is definitely one of the pillars of the Indian economy. Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment, organized retail sector, single-brand retail, globalization, foreign retailers, Ministry of Commerce, Industrial policy and promotion, FDI's issues and prospects. *********

With contributions from leading brand experts around the world, this valuable resource delineates the case for brands (financial value, social value, etc.) and looks at what makes certain brands great. It covers best practices in branding and also looks at the future of brands in the age of globalization. Although the balance sheet may not even put a value on it, a company’s brand or its portfolio of brands is its most valuable asset. For well-known companies it has been calculated that the brand can account for as much as 80 percent of their market value. This book argues that because of this and because of the power of not-for-profit brands like the Red Cross or Oxfam, all organisations should make the brand their central organising principle, guiding every decision and every action. As well as making the case for brands and examining the argument of the anti-globalisation movement that brands are bullies which do harm, this second edition of Brands and Branding provides an expert review of best practice in branding, covering everything from brand positioning to brand protection, visual and verbal identity and brand communications. Lastly, the third part of the book looks at trends in branding, branding in Asia, especially in China and India, brands in a digital world and the future for brands. Written by 19 experts in the field, Brands and Branding sets out to provide a better understanding of the role and importance of brands, as well as a wealth of insights into how one builds and sustains a successful brand.

Nobel-Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman argues that business leaders need to understand the differences between economic policy on the national and international scale and business strategy on the organizational scale. Economists deal with the closed system of a national economy, whereas executives live in the open-system world of business. Moreover, economists know that an economy must be run on the basis of general principles, but businesspeople are forever in search of the particular brilliant strategy. Krugman's article serves to elucidate the world of economics for businesspeople who are so close to it and yet are continually frustrated by what they see. Since 1922, Harvard Business Review has been a leading source of breakthrough management ideas-many of which still speak to and influence us today. The Harvard Business Review Classics series now offers readers the opportunity to make these seminal pieces a part of your permanent management library. Each highly readable volume contains a groundbreaking idea that continues to shape best practices and inspire countless managers around the world-and will have a direct impact on you today and for years to come.
