The purpose of this course is to give Bachelor students a fundamental understanding of manufacturer-retailer relationships in the consumer goods and retailing industry. They should especially be able to identify options for manufacturers to build, maintain, and extend the relationships to retailers and shoppers. Furthermore, students should learn how manufacturer can stand out and create a competitive advantage at the point of sale (POS). This is more than ever important to generate short-term revenues for the brand and to build and sustain long-term brand equity. Stressing an applied focus, the course makes use of real-life cases and guest lectures.
