Retail Management
Retail theory to shop floor: formats, location, merchandising, buying, inventory, pricing, service and omnichannel strategy.
📖 Course Overview
Retail is where the entire economy meets the customer — and in Nepal it is transforming within a single generation: kirana pasals, department stores, franchised marts, and e-commerce now compete on the same streets. Retail management is the discipline behind that competition: formats, locations, assortments, inventories, prices and experiences engineered deliberately.
This university-level course covers the complete retail syllabus in nine lessons: retail's economic functions and format theories (wheel of retailing, retail life cycle), strategic positioning and the location decision, store design and visual merchandising psychology, merchandise planning and buying arithmetic (open-to-buy, GMROI), inventory control and shrinkage, retail pricing tactics, service and CRM, human resources on the shop floor, and the omnichannel future.
The final exam draws 14 questions in 25 minutes at 65%, unlocked after all lessons are complete.
