The retailing industry is a major part of the world economy, and at the forefront of business changes through its direct connection with the consumer, wide use of technology, innovations, market uncertainty, and intense competition. Topics in this course include demand forecasting, growth and risk management, performance analysis, incentives, store execution, technology (e.g., RFID), product variety, and emerging economies. The course should be useful for those interested in careers in retailing as well as businesses like banking, consulting, IT, and manufacturing, which provide services to retailers.
