Retail has shifted from simple store transactions to complex, multi-channel buying experiences. Many professionals in sales, store operations, buying, or visual merchandising handle these responsibilities on the job. However, they lack structured managerial training.
The Online MBA in Retail Management helps turn that real-world experience into strategic leadership capabilities. It combines core business learning with retail-specific decision-making.
This specialization is offered as part of the MBA program, where learners can choose focused elective tracks based on their career goals.
Retail Management prepares learners to understand how product assortments, pricing, promotions, customer experience, supply chains, and store formats shape business outcomes.
Bachelor degree in any discipline from recognized University/ Institution. Graduates of recognized professional programs like CA/ ICWA etc. are also eligible to apply.
