Management

What’s the first image that comes to your mind when you think of a stationery store? Stuffs kept in sacks on the floor and then transferred on to weighing apparatus in handful ratios, packed in newspaper pieces and then snarled with sack fiber; right? Those unhygienic warehouses are becoming a myth these days.

Today’s retail shops are multi-storeyed super malls designed with the kind of precision and creativity that luxury villas and art galleries demand. Local giants and international tycoons are trying their best to ensure their domination in the Indian markets by spending billions. Job opportunities too are endless.

Changing the Retailing Strategies

Well dressed employs having refined behaviors and manners replace the apparently uncouth local laborers who worked at the local retail shops. These new versions are well-knowledgeable about the products that are being put for sale. So they can explain its functioning and characteristic features to customers, pretty well. Supervisors and managers who belong to executive cadres… entertainment facilities for children…what not do these malls have?! So in brief, retail business is not anything minor.

Latest Trends in Retail Industry

Those who are at the helm of these large institutions are having sound knowledge in realms like Customer Relationship, Retail Brand Management, Psychology of Retail Shoppers, Management and Organization Behavior, Supply Chain Management, Marketing Information, Finance Management, Accounting in Retail, Electronics Retailing, Marketing and Business Communication, Sales Promotion with Public Relation, Event Management etc. Hence, Retailers Association of India, Indian Retail School and various universities have commenced small and big courses in retailing to attract people to this industry. MBA retailing too is there.

MBA Retail Business- A tool to Conquer the New Business Trends

The syllabus of MBA Retailing thoroughly covers the socio- economic- psychological aspects of retailing besides the basic subjects of management studies. In the olden days, people used to go find places where they can buy indispensable products. Today’s marketing strategy has turned things upside down. Business strategies have been devised in such a way that the customer ends up purchasing products that they really don’t need; let alone indispensable!  Business giants are in search of youth who possess this expertise. Avoiding the middle man hassles, gathering products from manufacturing centers, transporting and storing them at the retail stores at the lowest possible rates, and then displaying them at their best in the malls to promote fast sales, devising advertising strategies to attract customers—these are no silly things.

Syllabus of MBA in Retail Management

Syllabus includes various aspects of business like the theories of marketing, customer satisfaction, distribution network, changes needed according to the new age of liberalization, e- business, starting up a website, marketing for special sections, branding packaging, cost decisions, marketing- advertising strategies, direct marketing, telemarketing, switching over to new tactics to outdo the competitors’ strategies, customer relationship, sales promotion, enlargement of human resources, recruitment, training, employ satisfaction and the various strategies to bring it about, the peculiarities of client mindset, influencing the clients, data collection, home delivery, special discount credit cards, debit card, discounts, bargaining, reward programs, factors that decide the need for international marketing, research, competitive caliber of the product when compared to international products, international laws, marketing among NRI Indians by engaging the strategy of nostalgia, logistics, production and distribution of products in connection with special opportunities like football world cup, cricket, Dubai festival, Hajj, Christmas and other Indian celebrations in foreign countries, franchisee outlets, advertising budget, advertising and marketing in co-ordination with other products, offers, deciding the best medium for advertising at the time etc. MBA Retailing can be done through distance education scheme too.

Besides the Indian giants, international business tycoons like McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Levis, Nike, Adidas, Sharp, Kodak and Sony too are on hunt for experts in MBA retailing. Store manager, customer care executive, merchandise officer, public relations executive, sales executive, inventory monitoring officer etc. are a few among the many positions that these business giants offer.
