Abstract

It is well known that there is a special system of indicators for measuring efficiency, productivity and performance of trade adjusted to the very nature of business. As a part of it, the significance of profit per employee is stressed as a contemporary measure of trade performance. It is quite understandable considering the high share of labour force in trade and the possibility of its substitution with the modern technology. This work analyses the specifics and factors of the profit per employee dynamics in trade of Serbia and selective global retail chains, first of all - developed market economies. On the base of research results, we propose measures for increasing profit per employee in trade of Serbia in the future.
