Store Management Process At DMSRetail, we often get questions on Store Manager job description. Below is an illustration of the various dimensions, skills and actions a good Store Manager performs and demonstrates on a constant and continuous basis from performance management point of view. There is a whole other set of functions and tasks that store managers perform on a daily basis in terms of administration and upkeep of the store. Nevertheless the main focus is to reach the sales and profit objectives that are set for the store. It is our intention to turn this document into a conventional statement of a job description by expanding on the definition and the best practices for each and every one of the skills and action items. This ultimately would lead to a most comprehensive definition of a Store Management or Store Manager job description. It is obvious that some of the required actions involves head office guidance/direction/decision like compensation. Nevertheless, the store manager has to understand the implications of the compensation plan to be able to use it to maximize the store productivity and effectiveness. Similarly, and usually, hiring process requires some degree of involvement from the Human Resources. It has been our experience that majority of retail chains leave the final hiring decision at the store level with the store manager. That is in line with DMSRetail's performance management principle which clearly states that the final hiring decision must always be made by the manager who will be responsible for the individual's performance. Along with other training tools that are available from DMSRetail, Balanced Scorecards and their use in Retail Management is covered in Retail Math Made Simple and specifically Retail Math Made Simple Presentation DVD.
