Consumer-Centric Category Management: How To Increase Profits By Managing Categories Based On Consumer Needs 网盘下载 pdf 免费 2025 在线 epub 电子版

　　In some parts of the world, especially in developing markets,

category management today remains a stretch goal – a new idea full

of untapped potential. In other areas, the original eight-step

process that emerged in the late 1980’s forms the foundation of

many companies’ approach to category management. In still others,

particularly in developed countries like the U.S., the U.K., and

others, refinements are being made – most of them designed to place

consumer understanding front and center.

New ideas are emerging – from "trip management" to "aisle

management" to "customer management." Whether a new de*or

emerges to replace "category management" is yet to be seen. Even if

that does happen, what won’t change is the overall objective – to

help retailers and their manufacturer partners succeed by offering

the right selection of products that are marketed and merchandised

based on a complete understanding of the consumers they are

committed to serving.

This book, which explores both the state of and the

state-of-the-art in category management, is for everyone with a

vested interest in category management. It can serve such a broad

audience because category management is about bringing a structured

process to how executives think and make decisions about their

businesses, no matter what information and information technology

they have access to.

书籍介绍

In some parts of the world, especially in developing markets, category management today remains a stretch goal – a new idea full of untapped potential. In other areas, the original eight-step process that emerged in the late 1980’s forms the foundation of many companies’ approach to category management. In still others, particularly in developed countries like the U.S., the U.K., and others, refinements are being made – most of them designed to place consumer understanding front and center. New ideas are emerging – from "trip management" to "aisle management" to "customer management." Whether a new descriptor emerges to replace "category management" is yet to be seen. Even if that does happen, what won’t change is the overall objective – to help retailers and their manufacturer partners succeed by offering the right selection of products that are marketed and merchandised based on a complete understanding of the consumers they are committed to serving. This book, which explores both the state of and the state-of-the-art in category management, is for everyone with a vested interest in category management.
