Conclusions and Recommendations
5.1 Conclusions
For feedback purposes, staff at the mall could benefit from the availability of daily attendance data such as those summarized here because they reveal where the irregularities lie, business wide daily attendance records and to what extent there are shifts in collective attendance behavior in the course of a business year that it would be helpful to know. The availability of this information enables business to implement a more focused attendance policy than would be possible based on average daily attendance measures, which conceal most of the trends discussed in this paper (see Table 2).
The analysis presented here has several important limitations. From a policy perspective, this information may be highly valuable as well. Ultimately, information of high customers attendance is of interest in the context of establishing a business and fallout prevention efforts.
There are also inherent limitations to the use of single case designs, as they remain particular to the business whose attendance is analyzed. While interesting in their own right, case studies such as these can also be used as a tool to generate hypotheses that can be tested on a larger sample. Such an analysis would involve pooling the time series of the individual Malls to estimate between variability in processes such as those described in this paper.
