Course Description
Retailers lie at the end of the value chain. They interface with the ultimate consumer as well as with suppliers. Retailers make investments in real estate and solicit funds from the investment community. Importantly, e-commerce has all but revolutionized the retailing scene in the last couple of years. As a result, this course should appeal to a number of rather different constituencies.

1. Retailing management
2. Suppliers to retailers (or any business selling inventory rather than pure services)
3. Real estate
4. Entrepreneurs
5. IT and e-commerce
6. Finance
