Course Overview

Retailing is one of the largest sectors in the world economy. In some countries it is well established with large multinational companies constantly evolving to attract customer spending. In developed markets, the retail industry accounts for over 10% of total employment. In every market around the world the retail industry is dynamic, challenging, and provides a wealth of diverse and challenging career opportunities. International retailing is an established element within retailing and the global marketplace, and the largest retailers within developed retail structures are increasingly international in their operations.
