Key Highlights
Marks and Spencer was the strongest performer of the leading department stores in Europe, but it was not the strongest performer in all areas.
Marks and Spencer was also the top performer under the scale and growth pillar. It also performed strongly under the operational efficiency pillar. However, its performance in financial performance pillar was comparable to the channel average.
Ernes performance was very weaker than the channel average in all areas.
The department store chains are facing increasing levels of competition from hypermarkets, discounters and online retailers, which has intensified further since the onset of global economic slowdown in 2008. While the Western Europe is facing market stagnation, Eastern Europe offers lucrative growth opportunities for department stores.
