 Future direction: Concerns
 85 million square feet of mall space is expected to be
available by end of 2010, which might lead to over-
capacity of malls
 Lack of differentiation among the malls that are coming
up. One option may be to look at specialization.
 Poor inventory turns and stock availability measures
 Supplier maturity, in terms of adherence to delivery
schedules and delivering the quantity ordered, is an
issue
 Sales tax laws - lead to retailers having state-level
procurement
 Increased adoption of IT and shrinkage management will
be a critical area.
