While, entrpreneurship and financial resources are available in abundance, manpower is going to become the critical growth determinant. Although, 70% of the manpower required in retail does not require high quality skills, what is worrying is its commitment to work. Like it happened in initial phase of infotech boom, it may not be a bad idea to open trainingup school offering short duration courses in basic skills. Efforts should also be intensified to design short term post graduate diploma programmes to fill in middle level positions. Most of the mushrooming management schools offering BBA and MBA programmes could be roped in to do the trick. You are absolutely right.
