Issues for discussion: • Does Russian retail have powerful competencies that are traditionally underestimated? What's new about physical stores? • Should traditional retailers be wary of online? • "Physical" hypermarket - what is its role in the modern world? Is it more a showroom of goods or is it still the # 1 point of sale in terms of check volume? Have you reached the point of oversaturation "over large boxes"? • Why are discounters needed if there are convenience stores? Where is the best investment? • Multi-format - an advantage or a burden? • Offline marketplaces: is a hybrid model possible? • Which segments lost and why? • Are there any chances for regional networks to resist federal ones?
