Strategy development at Spencer retail

Abstract

Spencer’s Retail Limited is one of the leading retailers of India. They operate in food and grocery segment that is most unorganized in the country. Currently, the F&G segment is about 98% unorganized while Indian consumers spend about 70% of their income on F&G. So, there is a significant need to critique and suggest sustainable business models and strategy frameworks for F&G retail. There is an IVEY case on Spencer’s Retail (2014). But firstly, it is based on 2011 scenario and data (which has changed drastically now) and secondly, it is more of a generic case rather than a retail strategy case.
