Management

MediaMarktSaturn Retail Group has two chief executives. Ferran Reverter Planet and Wolfgang Kirsch head up the corporate Group.

Multi-Brand Strategy

Following the consistent multi-retail-brand strategy of MediaMarktSaturn the Media Markt stores, the Saturn stores and the Internet pure player redcoon operate independently on the market, competing directly with one another. Every Media Markt and Saturn store is an independent company in which the manager of the store holds a share of up to ten percent. The managers of the individual stores decide on their local advertising needs, the product portfolio and personnel planning. This allows them to respond flexibly to the needs of their own particular customers.{{Citation needed|date=July 2016}}

Multi-Channel-Concept

Media Markt and Saturn's bricks-and-mortar stores are closely linked to the companies‘ online businesses. Online shops are present in all 15 MediaMarktSaturn countries.

Due to a significant change in buying behaviour MediaMarktSaturn decided to reinvent consumer electronics retailing and wants to set new standards for multichannel.[3]
