The Rimi case underscores the difficult recruitment and retention landscape in the retail industry, specifically store management, and requires students to develop creative solutions to these challenges. At the same time, the case illustrates the need for clear objectives in management training programs, and the importance of evaluating the success (and possible weaknesses) of training initiatives. It requires students to identify costs-versus-benefits of training, which is becoming increasingly more important as human resources managers are called upon to justify training investments. Finally, the case provides an important regional context – Latvia and the Baltic – that to date has been relatively ignored.
