A More Challenging Semester Ahead for DRM5 Students ;o)


Assalamualaikum and a great evening guys...


I've discussed with both your Retail Buying (Pn. Rohanah) and Entrepeneurship (Pn. Haslina) lecturers and we agreed to cooperate and integrate their courses with the ones I'm going to teach you; P4720 (Retail Operation 2).


As you all know, when you study in the fifth semester for this course, you have to really run a business which you build from scratch! It means that you have to start from ZERO and you have to provide some start-off capital. When I said zero, I mean zero plan and zero money.


Nevertheless, we will try to help you with some of the start-off capital, but this is just a priviledge and not a promise. We can only promise you that we will expose you with the know-how of running a business to gain profit. At the end of the lessons, you will be able to:


1. understand the responsibilities of a business manager

2. experience retailer-vendor negotiation

3. plan and arrange a store according to product selling and promotional demand

4. produce financial statements for the business

5. control inventory according to customer or market demand

6. use the most of the promotional tools to sell products

7. plan business

8. execute the roles of a store manager, a store supervisor, a cashier, a retail buyer, a negotiator, a planner and an executer... a business man or woman...


However, you will get the help of DRM3 help in executing your business because they have to practic P3917 Retail Operation 1 knowledge... You've gone through this course and you know what is required of them... Wallahu 'alam...


Please post any concerns and we can discuss them here and we're going to have a workshop for you so you'll have a clearer picture about this cooperation and intergration..


All the best and good luck...


Note: Your assignment now is, think of a business that you want and able to run next semester.
