This course deals not only with traditional retailing issues but also with nontraditional retail management in the context of new information technology (e.g., web-based, emailing).
The topics covered are strategic aspects of retail management, channel formats, selection and management, consumer behaviour in a retail setting, consumer loyalty and relationship management (CRM), consumer patronage behaviour and location issues, assortment management, and pricing and promotion issues. This course also emphasizes the similarities and differences between the traditional perspective of retail management (brick-and-mortar) and the related web-based retailing (e-tailing) issues.
