How might these trends affect suburban regional shopping malls?
For this case study, you will need to address the following:
Imagine yourself as the manager of a struggling local suburban regional shopping mall (select a struggling regional mall that you are familiar with). What do you think the mall should do to improve its performance? (Hint: Firmly establish the problem before recommending treatments.)
What shopping trends do you foresee over the next 10 years? How might these trends affect suburban regional shopping malls?
What new retail concepts can you identify? How might you learn about more? What strategies do you suggest for learning about new retail concepts? (Perreault, Cannon, & McCarthy, 2021)
For each prompt, please include evidence to support your position. Marketing decisions and strategies should be evidence-based. You may find it helpful to review Module 1 when you complete this assignment. (Hint: Allow the concept of value to direct your thinking. Marketers should not recommend strategies without first understanding the problem and the value the target market seeks.)
