Changing consumer behaviours has caused a marked change in the retail landscape. Niche, luxury and discount stores are the success stories of the sector, whilst traditionally strong out-of-town retailers have seen declining revenues. The challenges of the sector mean businesses are required to have plans in place for smooth CEO transitions - the faster the succession the less risk of profits taking a hit.
