摘要:Purpose of the Study: Technology and the internet disrupted and transformed the retail industry from a goodsdominated perspective to a consumer-centric paradigm. This transition requires a deep understanding of affective, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of the consumer for retail success. This case study is one approach by a department at a large, public university to prepare students for 21st century careers in a retail ecosystem unified by digitization, technology, and consumer centricity. Method/Design and Sample: This case study describes how one department continuously evolved to build relevant curriculum guided by global consumer trends driven by technology, social phenomena, and competitive environments recreating the consumer experience. Results: The case is an example of successfully transitioning programs and curriculum to prepare students for new retail career opportunities that do not exist today. Value to Marketing Educators: Educators may gain insights for transitioning their own programs or curriculum.
