| Business 2010: Retailing
Retailing will become ever more competitive over the coming five years as consumer spending in many markets dampens and the industry consolidates further.

This white paper, sponsored by SAP and based on a survey of 518 senior retailing executives from around the globe, identifies a number of factors that will determine retailers' ability to thrive between now and 2010.

| Courting the Consumer White Paper
Competition for the consumer's dollar will be ferocious over the next five years. Having reached a 10-year high in 2004, global retail sales started to slow in early 2005 as monetary policy tightened in both developed and emerging economies. Demand in mature markets is likely to be constrained for several years to come. In addition, consumers are becoming more selective about where they spend their money, and will continue to seek out better products and greater convenience at an ever more attractive price. Satisfying these expectations while keeping costs to a minimum will be a huge challenge for retailers and consumer goods companies.
