Course description
Retailing is such a part of our everyday lives that it's often taken for granted. As customers, we often are not aware of the sophisticated business decisions retailers make and the technologies they use. This course explores the ins and outs of retailing and the complex decisions in selecting target markets and retail locations, determining what merchandise and services to offer, distributing merchandise to stores, training and motivating sales associates, and deciding how to price, promote, and present merchandise.
