Retailing is an exciting and dynamic business. The retail sector is a major employer, is of economic significance and part of the everyday life of consumers. In this unit we examine retail marketing from the birth of modern retailing to the challenges and opportunities facing today's retailers. The unit is built on a foundation of retail marketing theory and covers retail marketing from both a marketplace [traditional] and a marketspace [online] perspective. The unit, through a case study approach, explores the key success factors of a diverse range of retailers at a local and an international level. The unit covers market selection, the service nature of retailing, channels of distribution, pricing, place considerations, merchandising, loyalty, and branding. The unit objective is to equip students with the necessary skills to manage the challenges of modern retailing. Students experience context based assignments, working in teams with clients in either the traditional or internet retail space.
