Retail Product Management provides the opportunity to acquire a deeper knowledge of a key area of retailing management - managing the product range. It is an important text for anyone studying retail management or buying and merchandising as part of a degree course. Challenging, yet approachable to students, it links academic theory to the buying and merchandising roles within retail organisations, and current operational practice. It covers all retail operations which revolve around the procurement of products, including:
*stock level management
*allocation of outlet space for products
*store design
*mail order shopping
*digital TV shopping.
Retail Product Management also offers learning objectives, boxed features, review questions, chapter introduction and summaries, a glossary of terms and international and multi-sector case-studies from companies and brands including Boots the Chemist plc, Marks and Spencer, Reebok, Benetton, Unichem, The Body Shop and Levis.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fairly good text book, August 20, 2005
By 
Vikram Lal (New Delhi, India) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Retail Product Management: Buying and Merchandising (Paperback)
This book does give a good idea of the subject. However, I found that it is rather basic, and is suitable more as a text book, and not for the purpose that I was looking. As a person experienced in business and manufacturing, and having recently entered the retail segment, I was looking for a book that would give me more in-depth information on the subject.
