SPECIAL REPORT: Resources | Business Management

ABSTRACT

As part of the DESU program “Retail Management: Cities and Regions,” the A&NMT Chair centralizes inspiring resources related to this topic: barometers, studies, surveys, reports, and guides (accessible to everyone), as well as select publications from the Chair (accessible only to our students, Founders, and Partners).

This DESU (Diplôme d’Études Supérieures Universitaires), created in partnership between the IMPGT’s Attractiveness & New Territorial Marketing Chair and the City Center Managers’ Clubis designed for students and managers who wish to train for positions as retail managers at the level of a downtown area, a city, or a broader region. The managerial, legal, and leadership skills taught by academic and professional instructors allow students to specialize in a track related to regional attractiveness, public management, regional management, or commercial management.

Below you’ll find useful links to help you stay informed and equipped, as well as some ideas to fuel your thinking. Enjoy reading!
