Chapter Overview
Most of us within the retail ecosystem—be that academia or industry—have long recognised that the role and function of physical stores has evolved. But, however much we may talk about experience, what gets measured gets done and the traditional ‘profit and loss’ still prevails.
​
It's time for a new form of measurement, and the Institute for Retail Studies at the University of Stirling, thanks to funding from Innovate UK and in collaboration with Agile Retail, intends to find one. Join us to learn more about this exciting project and how you could be involved.

Together, we delve into a different topic each month, exchanging anecdotes, best practices, and thought-provoking ideas that underscore this dynamic industry. Our events are designed to be intimate and exclusive, fostering an environment conducive to meaningful dialogue and a deep exploration of the challenges and opportunities that define the retail landscape.
