In todayBs competiti!e world while entering in the market it is !ery necessary toha!e good knowledge of the potential of a particular market.
&uring this whole training I got a lot of eperience and came to know about the
management practices in real that how it differs from those of theoreticalknowledge and the practically in the real life.
In todayBs globali)e world, where cutthroat competition is pre!ailing in the market,theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. $eside this one need to ha!e practical
knowledge, which would help an indi!idual in hisCher carrier acti!ities and it is
true that -E?perience is best teacher
Professors gi!e us theoretical knowledge of !arious subects in the college but we
are practically eposed of such subects when we get the training in theorgani)ation. It is only the training through which I come to know that what an
industry is and how it works. I can learn about !arious departmental operations being performed in the industry, which would, in return, help me in the future
when I will enter the practical field.

;n complete analysis of the uestionnaire, it is concluded that The image of
ShopperBs stop in consumerBs mind is good as per the response collected of all the
respondents. I can say so as, the respondents would want to see more outlets of ShopperBs
stop and prefer shopping in ShopperBs stop as compared to other well known shopping marts.
The conclusion which is generali)ed after the data analysis is that the sales of shopperBs
stop can increase with the proper Duality of products, a!ailability of products whereas
location, lucrati!e offers, ad!ertisements and parking facility are not so influential. These arethe main things which influence the sales !olume of the shopper stop. So I can say that the
customerBs perception towards ShopperBs stop is o!erall good.
Finally I hereby conclude by saying that it was really great pri!ileged to conduct the
research work in the company like ShopperBs Stop and had got such a real time eposure of
this retail *ompany.
So this is how I would conclude this research.
