​5.0 out of 5 stars 100% essential read on category management!

​First of all, I generally don't bother to write reviews. The fact I'm recommending this book is because I enjoyed it so much.
This book is about category management from a retailer & manufacturer perspective, yet highlighting the fact that the true key of success does not lie in typical category management itself. Very similar to "Innovation Secrets" by Carmine Gallo, this book has given me loads of fresh ideas to grow my business. The difference is that it's more about "retail", where "Innovation Secrets" is more about “product”. The only downside of this book, is that you will be eager for more!

5.0 out of 5 stars.

If you think you know everything about Category Management....then read this! The rule book is somewhat ripped up by Mark Taylor who gives a very thought provoking insight into the future of retailing and how it could survive in a world that is dominated by e-retailing.

​Controversial new book out today puts Space Management on the endangered species list.
Without revealing its “mystery”, I can tell you that this very entertaining book will invite you to think more creatively about the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) retail business, especially in-store merchandising, how we measure and analyze what we are doing, and how to gain a competitive edge in the years ahead. Bravo!
