Retail Management
A retail-focused business path across stores, category, merchandising, and e-commerce operations.
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
Retail management gets dismissed as "shopkeeping," which misses modern category, supply, and marketplace roles. Proof looks like sell-through analysis, store conversion notes, or marketplace ops metrics. If your portfolio is only mall visits, expect weak interviews. Treat retail as a data-and-people operations domain. Campus drives still reward clear ownership stories over buzzword lists. Bring one artifact — sheet, deck, ticket trail, or project note — you can defend in depth.
