Information Technology for Retailing 1ED

by KHURANA

This book is about Information Technology and about Retail Management. This two dimensional approach leads to the biggest advantage of reading this book. Information Technology is so deeply entrenched in business processes that many regard it as a `black box?, i.e., they know what goes into a computer system and what comes out. But they do not know how the input is processed. In such a scenario, it is vital that retail professionals understand the perspective that different participants have towards technology. This book attempts to explain technology from multiple perspectives. For instance, in explaining the Cash Register, the perspectives of the customer, manager and operator are explored separately.
