RETL 603 Retail Science and Data Analytics (3 credits)

This course teaches statistical foundations for data analytics, with an applied emphasis to retail using R language. We will go through advanced statistical techniques and methodologies including sampling, regression, classification methods, and machine learning. We implement these concepts by doing predictions on real cases and datasets across several retail: including Real Estate Analytics (using Montreal鈥檚 centris data) Restaurant Analytics (Using Yelp data and McDonalds), Entertainment Analytics (using IMDB and Spotify), Dating-apps analytics (using data from Tinder), and Ecommerce analytics (using data from the Apple store). We use these data to make predictions (e.g., how to make a Montreal restaurant more popular, how to create our own Shazam application using Spotify song data, or how to predict IMDB ratings).

RETL 611 360 Degree Customer Insight (3 credits)

Managers in every industry 鈥� from retail to automobiles to food to banking 鈥� need to understand how their customers think, feel, and act. These insights are the basis for developing a marketing plan that attracts customers, delights customers, builds a strong brand identity in the minds of customers, and ultimately creates financial value for the firm. As such, this course will focus on three topics related to customer insight: buying decisions, customer satisfaction, and brand equity. Customer buying decisions are important for managers because they translate into sales and hence profits for the firm. Managers are also interested in maximizing customer satisfaction with their products, since greater satisfaction drives repeat business, positive word-of-mouth, and long-term firm profitability. Finally, managers seek to build brand equity and communicate the brand鈥檚 benefits to customers because strong brands ensure long-term profitability of the firm.

We will examine the above topics using a 360^o approach that incorporates content and application from different perspectives. From the content point of view, this course will cover key customer concepts and frameworks such as choice models, judgment heuristics, satisfaction models, brand equity models, and theories of persuasion; as well as cutting edge data relevant to customers such as marketing experiments, observational analysis, physiological/neurological responses, online sentiment, and satisfaction modeling. From the application point of view, this course will analyze customers in both online and offline contexts, taking into account important trends in the marketplace such as information overload, use of social media, and environmental consciousness among customers. The overall goal of the course is to leverage customer concepts and data into effective marketing plans that can help managers influence buying decisions, maximize satisfaction, and strengthen brand equity.

This course is designed to help students become astute observers and incisive communicators of business-relevant customer insights. The course is targeted at intellectually curious and motivated students who are interested in pursuing careers in marketing, retail, general management, entrepreneurship, business consulting, media and advertising, or consumer-oriented not-for-profit organizations.

RETL 615 Managing Retail Ops and Value Chain (3 credits)

Retail is a vibrant global industry that is going through a lot of changes driven by a host of factors like technology, globalization and competition. The expectation of customers in terms of service and product quality, price as well as a shopping experience and convenience is constantly evolving. They now expect significant amount of product variety available to them seamlessly across channels. Moreover, these products need to be priced reasonably and, if required, delivered to their doorsteps within hours. All these require retailers to reimagine how they manage their own operations and their value chains. Effective and efficient management of retail operations and value chain in today鈥檚 omni-channel environment require tackling a variety of challenges 鈥� from dealing with suppliers and contracts, merchandising, inventory management, pricing, assortment selection, designing delivery networks, store operations, etc.

RETL 641 Fashion Retail Management听(3 credits)

Unlike most of the courses in the Master鈥檚 Program in Retail Management which focus on a specific part of the customer journey, this course will look at the specificities of how the customer journey applies to one of the core retail sectors 鈥� Fashion, beauty and luxury.

Like other areas in retail, Fashion, beauty and luxury companies are faced with changing consumer behaviour, the challenges of omnichannel retailing, the growth of digitization & emerging technologies, last mile logistics, upscaling of talent and increased competition, e.g. Amazon, new entrants and the globalization of competition.

At the same time, fashion, beauty and luxury companies have different key success factors. In other areas of retail, you can be successful with strong analytical, process driven, visioning and communication skills. In the area of fashion, beauty and luxury, this is not enough. Successful companies in this area need to counter balance the business side with a strong creative funnel in order to be successful. It is just as much about pull marketing as push marketing. It requires strong creative directors and teams who bring to life goods and services that make customers dream come true. It is an area where craftsmanship is essential to satisfy consumer needs. At the same time, especially in fashion and beauty, it is an area of retail where products and services are sold from mass distribution to high end environments. And finally, it is one of the testing grounds to push personalization, the use of new technologies and of social media via relevant key opinion leaders to entice consumers.

Moreover, many of the teachings have strong implications in other industries. Many creative brands, such as Apple, Nespresso, Pixar, 鈥� have used similar approaches to become game changers and leaders in their respective industries.

RETL 643 Fintech and Financial Services听(3 credits)

In this course we explore the present and future of retail financial services, with an emphasis on the impact of information technologies on the engineering and distribution of financial products to consumers. The course is organized around three applications.

First, we examine the capabilities of blockchains for payments, ownership transfers and the delivery of consumer services. We start with a general presentation of the fundamental challenges underlying payment systems. We then spend one session on cryptography and discuss its role in securing payments and transfers. Equipped with these two building blocks, we then spend two sessions building a blockchain in the lab. We focus on the implementation of distributed consensus, and on the use of blockchains for payments (cryptocurrencies), fundraising (ICOs) and the exchange of services (tokenization).

Second, we explore the design of online platforms that directly offer funding options to consumers. We start with basic principles of credit risk and a primer on the use of data to assess default probabilities on mortgages or consumer loans. We then spend a session on online mortgage lenders and contrast their business model with traditional banking. We close this section with platforms that directly connect consumers with funding needs to consumers with investment needs, i.e., peer-to-peer lending and crowdfunding.

Finally, we study the automatization of financial advice. We start with a reminder on the principles of portfolio management. We then spend two sessions on the design of a robo advisor capable of evaluating the risk exposures and appetite of an individual or a household, and of building an optimized portfolio allocation.
