The battle for new consumer is changing and is being transferred in to the store. Therefore stores are placed that needs to be considered, but the retailers do not have any change in profit when costumers switch from article A to article B. The new strategy that some consider to be an evolving approach to retail product management is category management. Category management (CM) has implication on whole retail company organization and in its supply chain. The main aspect in CM is category.
