Established in 1992, the Centre for the Study of Commercial Activity (CSCA) is a leading authority on the distribution of retail and commercial activity across Canada. The Centre is a not-for-profit, membership based research centre, one of only two university research centres at Ryerson. CSCA has an established record providing its supporters - including retailers, developers, consultants, investors, and legislators with reliable, detailed information and analyses. Many of Canada's leading retail players turn to CSCA to enhance their strategic decision making, corporate restructuring and competitive positioning. Dr. Jones and his colleagues will profile CSCA's research areas and present an overview of the changing retail landscape in Canada, touching on areas of research such as data visualization, the Internet and CSCA's significant data bases. As well, Dr. Jones will outline CSCA's monthly research monographs and the Centre's various partnerships.
