  • MRKT 4515 Managing Retail and Service Businesses

    3 semester hours

    The U.S. economy is now dominated by the retail and services sectors. Moreover, understanding and strategically managing customer service is now becoming a critical determinant of business success or failure. Yet, most business school courses have traditionally focused on the manufacturing sector of the economy. This is a potential problem, because the management and marketing of service or retail businesses involve methods, strategies, and analytical tools that are distinct from those used in other areas of business. At the same time, the successful marketing of services and the delivery of excellent service are critical elements in the achievement of customer satisfaction and thus the long-term success for virtually all organizations. The purpose of this course is to provide students with an understanding and appreciation of retail and services marketing as separate and distinct areas of marketing thought and practice, their critical roles in contemporary competitive markets, and the tools and strategies necessary for managing successful enterprises in these areas. This course is especially designed for those students who anticipate working in retail or service businesses, or who wish to better understand how these forms of businesses are managed. The course will discuss an overarching philosophy that stresses the importance of the integration of the marketing, human resources, and operations functions within the service and retail systems.

Most importantly, the notions of competitive evolution and interdependence are emphasized and extensively explored. These concepts are then illustrated as they are commonly applied in the business world to enhance an enterprise’s market position. Additionally, the great dangers of applying “cookbook strategies” or off-the-shelf solutions to competitive situations are explained and illustrated.

All of the critical steps in the new product development process will be discussed in detail, including: opportunity identification and analysis, concept development and testing, product design and pre-market testing and forecasting, and the management and control of the product launch.

Thus, the class will concentrate on market measurement, the use of that information to develop the benefit targets for the new product, and the ultimate development of marketing mixes (product, price, place, promotion) that will improve the chances for success. As such, the class will provide techniques to interface the marketing function with the functions of R&D, design engineering, and manufacturing, but it is beyond the scope of the course to emphasize these functions per se. The course will be relevant to students who expect to work directly in brand or product management as well as those whose interests are in general management and consulting.
