116 You Make the Decision Like Broadway, the rock-records in- dustry and the movies. the nations retailing industry, the largest employer in the United States, is embarked on a quest for superstars in the light of recent, spec- tacular successes by individuals. Age, background, and sex are no barriers for the talented people who have quickly, or over a period of time, racked up an impressive record. And they add that three types of superstars will be most in de- mand in the years ahead. These will be merchandising executives who can give a store directional impact; real-estate ex- ecutives who can pinpoint viable, strategic store sites; and marketing or sales- promotion experts skilled at positioning a retailer in a major or minor metropolitan area. The hunt for these superstars in an in- dustry until recently noted for being long on hours and short on rewards - is one of the more dynamic elements pointing to a bright career future in retailing. The most sucessful of the candidates in this enter- prise have achieved impressive incomes not unlike those in the entertainment field or, in a brief time, have commanded im- pressive salaries that will put them on the road to superstar status. This highway has been reached through different routes and with a varied repertoir of skills.
