Careers can be pursued in other areas of department store retailing, although the opportunities are not as abundant as those that exist in store operations and store merchandising. There are opportunities to be found in the Human Resources or Personnel Departments. Particularly, there is the need for college recruiters and people to conduct training classes. In addition, careers in advertising and other phases of promotion exist. There are opportunities for individuals to work in the accounting function. With declining profits, this area takes on an added importance. Finally, career opportunities can be found in management information systems, real estate, and marketing research.
FORE WORDS OF Mr. R. D. LA
C.E.O IIFT
"The whole Retail Management Institute program is terrific. It brings together senior executives from leading retail companies to exchange ideas, learn what the issues of the day are-and share this with the students. The institute turns out wonderful graduates; we've hired some each year. It's a program more other universities ought to have."
