No industry is subject to such disruptive forces as the retail sector as retail concepts are switching from offline to online and from e-commerce to omnichannel. Dramatic changes in purchasing habits are driving the revolution in the retail landscape, and the search, selection and long-term retention of retail managers is one of the most challenging tasks faced by companies. The optimal filling of these key positions is critical for further development and economic success.
