Expanding frontiers:
Gearing up on new opportunities

This is the theme of our 8th Global Retail & Consumer Business School, which after Paris, Shanghai, London, Düsseldorf and Barcelona, takes place this year in Milan from October 11-12. It is also the underlying theme of the 5th edition of our ongoing annual regional research project: From Sao Paulo to Shanghai - New consumer dynamics: The impact on modern retailing, which will be launched at the Business School. Extracts from the executive summary of this study are included in the Food for thought insert of this study.

From São Paulo to Shanghai
New consumer dynamics: The impact on modern retailing

This Food for thought insert is composed of extracts from the executive summary of the 5th edition of PricewaterhouseCoopers’ annual regional research project. This on-going thought leadership study has analysed over the years the different and changing investment challenges and opportunities for companies in the retail and consumer sector in transitional economies.

This year, we focus on three main regions in the developing world – Asia, Eastern Europe and South America. We address two major economies for each continent, which include the four BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries as well as Argentina and Poland. Therefore, this year’s study is at once broader – and deeper.
