Description

The Retail Location Analysis Programme is a world leading 3-day development workshop for executives at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School.

Celebrating its 30th year in 2016, Retail Location Analysis is designed for managers with oversight of or day-to-day responsibility for planning and development. Past participants have been drawn from retail, financial and other consumer services, property and retail professional service firms. Participants come from across the world and build global networks and understanding.

The workshop provides an excellent opportunity to discuss and debate the future of the sector in an omni-channel world, with leading international faculty and professionals. You will share expertise with senior level peers from across the globe. In particular, the workshop:

  • Encourages discussion with speakers and individual learning through techniques workshops
  • Allows for open debate through case studies delivered by a series of invited senior practitioners
  • Provides an understanding of the changing context within which locational decision making affecting store and non-store networks through a series of expert briefings.

It is run by the Business School’s Oxford Institute of Retail Management and forms part of the training offered by the ESRC’s Consumer Data Research Centre. It is co-directed by Dr Jonathan Reynolds, Academic Director of the Institute and Dr David Rogers, from DSR Marketing Systems in the US. We believe that our three-day residential programme is the only one of its kind.

Retail Location Analysis (RLA) – Finding the locations that matter, 28-30 April 2014

OXIRM RLA training courseThe programme offers managers with oversight of planning, development and site assessment – from retail, consumer service, property and other professional services businesses – the opportunity to explore the latest thinking in retail location analysis. The programme remains the only one of its kind.

Developed markets across Europe continue to experience economic challenges, which have direct effects upon consumers’ confidence and retail spending. Combined with the impact of non-store retailing on established retailers, the main priorities for location analysis professionals will be the continuous evaluation of existing sites, the optimisation of network performance – and, where relevant, the consideration of selective disposals.

We know that all kinds of locations – High Streets or out-of-town – and all sizes of organisation are under pressure. For some businesses, however, exploring the opportunities presented by newly vacated sites, or running the slide rule over potential acquisitions, whether nationally and internationally, is still a real possibility.

We believe that our three-day residential programme is the only one of its kind. Our tried and tested, deliberately small-scale approach, encourages discussion with speakers and individual learning through techniques workshops.

Dr Jonathan Reynolds ran the 2013 programme in tandem with Dr David Rogers from DSR Marketing Systems in the US. Between the two of them they have over 50 years of experience in site location issues. Other contributions were made by visiting practitioners and experts.

And for the third year running, we were delighted that location planning experts from CACI supported the programme.
