In retail, as any other business, the ever changing business environment, customer needs and expectations should be considered. It is highly important to understand mechanisms of how the value is perceived, created and commercialized in order to achieve sustainable business.
The purpose of this course is to provide learners with the knowledge and to develop competences in:
- Forming the understanding of how retail business operates and how these operations and overall efficiency influence business results (KPIs).
- Develop strategic and systematic thinking.
The course offers convenient schedules for the management of virtual companies, as turns take place once a day. Naturally, the gameplay becomes more intensive as the amount of time for decisions decreases. However, the players will need to continuously engage in the gameplay in order to make effective managerial decisions and complete the assigned tasks.
