A book store manager has to be one of the more ridiculous overseas transfers I’ve seen…
Nah, it makes perfect sense. Just think about it.

More books require more managers. But more books in a certain region, means they gotta sacrifice the managers in other regions.

Just think about. It makes perfect sense.


fr though, my quick google search tells me:

A manager who understands how to curate for a specific demographic is invaluable—someone who knows the "bones" of the business but can adapt the inventory to local tastes. Great bookstores aren't just shops; they’re community hubs. A manager's real job is often event planning and local networking—skills that are highly transferable if you’re trying to transplant a brand's "vibe" to a new country. Overall, you’re moving someone who is basically a professional navigator of culture and logistics.

I've seen this happen with make-up & clothing brands from South Korea and Japan, but not bookstores.
