“Furniture Retailing 101: The Business” is intended to provide the beginnings of an understanding of the furniture industry to the reader. The volume explains the fact that many of the details presented and concepts considered will vary greatly from one company to another; that every furniture retailer is different. It introduces the business functions of Operations, Merchandise Information, Inventory Control, Merchandising, Marketing, Customer Service, Sales, Finance, Training and Development, and Human Resources in broad strokes. It examines the concepts of a Company’s Architecture, and Organizational Structure, Perspectives and Paradigms, a Company’s life cycle and a Company’s Mission.
