Abstract
“Excellence in management” was the theme pursued by Clive Kaye in his presentation to the recent conference of the International Council of Shopping Centres, held in Vienna. In a wide‐ranging paper he discussed the relationship with tenants, marketing the centre, the centre manager as adviser to the architect and designer, and the relationship of the manager with professional colleagues.
The most important factor in generating customer flow in a shopping centre lies in the quality of its tenant mix.

Abstract
Examines what is expected of shopping centre management and the relationship of the centre manager on site and surveyor colleagues in professional matters. Considers community relationship, shopping centre marketing, and the problems of retailers as factors in centre management. Concludes that turnover rents enhance the relative attractiveness of centres, but that the ultimate competition will be for good centre management of facilities, public, tenants and marketing.

Abstract
Whether the recent pressure for more out‐of‐town shopping appears to be easing in favour of further revitalisation of the inner city centre is discussed by involved interlocutors, both at local and at ministerial level. Amongst other relevant aspects of retail development, the pros and cons of superstores operating side by side with small businesses in town centres are examined.

Abstract
Introduction The advent of the shopping centre created the need to develop more sophisticated techniques in order to apportion the service charge invariably reserved under the lease. Unlike the occupants of residential flats or office suites, individual retailers do not necessarily derive equal benefit from the services provided. For example, a jeweller's shop will derive more benefit from the security measures, than a green‐grocer's, whilst insurance apportionments are clouded by the inter‐effect of the use of one unit of accommodation upon another.1 Another complicating factor is that whilst it is the retailers that cover the cost of the services, many of the services are provided for the benefit of their customers.

IF THE Guinness book of records is still watching these columns, I can now tell them that, after all, Mrs Carole Bignell's hope (NLW February p30) that she had established a record by registering her daughter as a library member at the tender age of two weeks must be dashed. Ken Bowden, District Librarian at Bacup, Lanes (where he gets his copy of NLW a little late), writes that not only did one of his neighbours enrol his daughter when she was five days old some years ago, but that Ken's own son entered the world in February 1977 and was enrolled at Bacup on his third day. Any advance on three days?
Sensors for industrial inspection exploit many basic properties of materials, which Clive Loughlin explains here in his second article on the subject.

Abstract
Memories and musings of the long ago reveal revolutionary changes in the world's food trade and in particular, food sources and marketing in the United Kingdom. Earliest memories of the retail food trade are of many small shops; it used to be said that, given a good site, food would always sell well. There were multiples, but none of their stores differed from the pattern and some of the firms — Upton's, the International, were household names as they are now. Others, eg., the Maypole, and names that are lost to memory, have been absorbed in the many mergers of more recent times. Food production has changed even more dramatically; countries once major sources and massive exporters, have now become equally massive importers and completely new sources of food have developed. It all reflects the political changes, resulting from two World Wars, just as the British market reflects the shifts in world production.

Abstract
Company information is of considerable importance to the business community, but finding the right information is not easy. There are many possible information sources in a variety of formats which are often difficult to identify and control. Accurate and current guides to information sources are important and a prototype hypertext guide to sources of company information has been developed to examine the feasibility of utilising this technology to overcome some of the limitations of paper‐based guides. COMPInfo has been developed using GUIDE software. The structure of the system and the way in which this attempts to fulfil the requirements of a good company information guide are discussed. The advantages and problems of the prototype are considered, along with areas in which further development of the structure would be beneficial. In spite of its limitations, COMPInfo indicates that hypertext technology could provide a viable solution to the problems of producing an effective guide to the complex field of company information.
