Sessions and presentations are augmented with guest speakers, case studies, working groups, and discussion. Key topics covered are: today’s food retailing climate, team dynamics, management leadership, decision making, negotiation, and conflict resolution.

This industry-specific executive development program provides a high-impact learning opportunity through:

• Three days of interactive, intensive instruction
