But, the COVID-19 pandemic has upended those supply chains as well as those for other necessities, such as medical devices (e.g., respirators) and personal protective equipment (PPE, e.g., masks, gloves). Suddenly, their availability has become a matter of life and death.</p> Tue, 02 Jun 2020 17:57:26 +0000 Saibal Ray 179840 at /bensadoun-school Retail Innovation Challenge /bensadoun-school/channels/event/retail-innovation-challenge-322070 <p>If you’re a university student with actionable ideas on how to help businesses affected by COVID-19, The Bensadoun School of Retail Management invites you to participate in the new Retail Innovation Challenge!</p> Thu, 07 May 2020 19:34:37 +0000 michael.cardillo@mcgill.ca 173713 at /bensadoun-school What can we learn from China as we prepare to open up the retail sector? /bensadoun-school/article/what-can-we-learn-china-we-prepare-open-retail-sector <p>As governments in the US, Canada and Europe start to plan for the progressive reopening of their respective economies including retail, we can turn to China (and some other Asian countries) to extrapolate lessons from their initiatives to re-open retail.</p> Tue, 21 Apr 2020 13:53:07 +0000 Charles de Brabant 170056 at /bensadoun-school For Canadian retailers, digitization is long overdue /bensadoun-school/article/canadian-retailers-digitization-long-overdue <p>As this year draws to a close, and some of the more important holidays for retailers (Black Friday, Cyber Monday) are behind us, there is no denying that technological innovations are continuing to produce seismic shifts across industries. Retail is no exception. If anything, retailers experience these shifts earlier and more frequently because of their proximity to consumers. Consumers, in turn, reward the brands that leverage technology to improve their buying experience.</p> <p>Every year, U.S. businesses capture more than a third of online sales from Canadian customers.</p> Thu, 05 Dec 2019 20:14:21 +0000 Saibal Ray, Academic Director 149419 at /bensadoun-school MMR Program: ϲ Graduate and Professional Schools Fair (SUS) | Montreal, QC | November 6, 2019 /bensadoun-school/channels/event/mmr-program-mcgill-graduate-and-professional-schools-fair-sus-montreal-qc-november-6-2019-300709 <p>Come visit us at the ϲ University Graduate and Professional Schools Fair (AUS) to learn more about the new Masters in Retail Management Program.</p> Mon, 16 Sep 2019 19:39:10 +0000 michael.cardillo@mcgill.ca 143705 at /bensadoun-school MMR Program: ϲ Graduate and Professional Schools Fair (SUS) | Montreal, QC | November 5, 2019 /bensadoun-school/channels/event/mmr-program-mcgill-graduate-and-professional-schools-fair-sus-montreal-qc-november-5-2019-300708 <p>Come visit us at the ϲ University Graduate and Professional Schools Fair (SUS) to learn more about the new Masters in Retail Management Program.</p> Mon, 16 Sep 2019 19:36:38 +0000 michael.cardillo@mcgill.ca 143704 at /bensadoun-school MMR Program: Meet us on the road | Toronto, ON | October 3, 2019 /bensadoun-school/channels/event/mmr-program-meet-us-road-toronto-october-3-2019-300703 <p>Come visit us at the York University Graduate and Professional Studies Expo to learn more about the new Masters in Retail Management Program.</p> Mon, 16 Sep 2019 19:21:22 +0000 michael.cardillo@mcgill.ca 143699 at /bensadoun-school
