Coles Myer adds some verve with 'concept' retailing

Article Abstract:

Coles Myer is deploying its new growth strategy by launching 10 retailing concept experiments in 1997. Each concept targets a specific niche in different areas, so that they will not compete with Myer's existing stores. After the failure of Myer's untested World 4 Kids toy stores, company divisions spent more time developing the new concepts, which include sports, electronics and home furnishings.
