Retail Course Overview

Dubai is where the world comes to shop. The magic of the retail therapy dished out by its myriad glitzy malls has given the emirate its reputation as a shopping paradise. Colliers International in a recent report ranked Dubai second to Hong Kong in recreational shopping. Dubai’s retail space will exceed 4 million sq. Meters by 2020 and Dubai will well be on its way to become the “shopping mall of the world.” Dubai, despite its modest population, has the 2nd highest mall density in the world at as per a recent report. The report states “The mega malls will strongly root the Dubai dominance in the retail industry across the region.” The fantastic growth of the retail industry will mean millions of new jobs being created in the retail sector.

Already retail is a large, dynamic and expanding sector in the Middle East with numerous innovations: internet shopping, duty free retailing, factory outlet villages and increasing international expansion. In recent years, retailers have become dominant partners in the distribution chain and are ranked highly in the established indices of the country’s economy.

The retail industry offers a variety of interesting and rewarding careers including ‘front-line’ careers such as store managers and sales personnel as well as `behind the scenes’ jobs in buying, merchandising, management, market research, store location and supply chain management.
