		<description><![CDATA[Apparently a letter to the editor of the National Observer (London) as far back as 1891 complained: “there are three kinds of falsehood: the first is a 'fib,' the second is a downright lie, and the third and most aggravated is statistics.” (Mark Twain famously paraphrased this in his autobiography as “lies, damned lies and statistics”.) Here is my definition of research and its output, and how it can be useful...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the sourcing-end, large retailers have been comfortably operating beyond international borders for several decades even while the stores-end of their business was entirely domestic. It took the opening up of East European economies in the 1990s to really prime the pump for growth of international retail expansion. Are we seeing the reversal of retail globalization?]]></description>

And what you don’t make a noise about may not be visible to the customer and may remain unsold.

		<description><![CDATA[Reactions to a discussion referencing the recent battle between retailer Delhaize and FMCG company Unilever in at least one online poll seem to favour retailers, or equally blame both retailers and suppliers. Considering that the respondent universe comprised of professionals from retail companies, suppliers as well as service providers, this seems to be a surprising result. Or perhaps not?
