Global Retail Management
-
The retail sector plays a vital role in the global economy. The Global Retail Management specialization provides the industry-specific skills needed to become a global leader in the ever-evolving world of retailing.
Electives in this specialization combine theory and context through industry guest speakers, international cases, applied examples and projects. The specialization offers many international case examples and grounded studies to involve students directly in the world of contemporary global retail.
In an economy where two thirds of the GDP comes from retail consumption, the Schulich MBA specialization in Global Retail is a degree for our times.
