NACS/Coca-Cola Retailing Research Council
The council conducts studies on issues that help retailers respond to the changing marketplace. The unique value of these studies rests with the fact that retailers define the objective and the scope of each project and “own” the process through the release of the study and dissemination to the broader retail community. The results are available as PDFs online for free. To learn more, visit the Councils’ Web site

• New Ideas for Retaining Store Employees
