It highlights critical issues involved in both managing and being managed, including components of organisations, environment, strategy, structure, culture, tasks, people and outputs and managerial decisions in the context of the global fashion industry. Management is the effective and efficient use of resources to attain organisational goals. This involves planning, organising, leading and controlling. It informs every aspect of daily business from developing customer relationships and implementing marketing activities, to the coordination of key suppliers and ethical sourcing. Students will learn the modern contemporary management approaches and techniques thoroughly grounded in the innovative world of fashion. Management will be explored in all aspects of contemporary business life including brand management, design, production and the supply chain. Current issues will be studied in-depth including sustainability, social responsibility and stakeholder engagement. From day one, students will engage with real managers in real settings, learning to reconcile academic theory with actual practice. This culminates in the opportunity to use their learning to make a difference by working with/or starting a company to analyse practices and recommend areas for improvement and development.

The Fashion Marketing course has a strong focus on the unique way in which fashion products are marketed. Key marketing theory is studied with specialist emphasis on the interface between design/ creativity and the commercial imperative. Fashion marketing theory is about understanding and satisfying consumer needs. There is a focus on developing an understanding of the fashion consumer, consumer behaviour, segmentation, targeting and positioning. Internal and external influences on individual and organisational decision making are also considered. Fashion marketing considers the fashion product, the nature of pricing (with costing and global economics in mind), the way the product is branded, communicated and promoted to consumers and the environment in which it is sold. The global nature of the fashion industry and its impact on marketing is considered. A key feature of fashion marketing in these courses is the opportunity to study multimedia Computer Aided Design packages in the context of brand concept, communication and application. The concepts of marketing most relevant to fashion, for example visual merchandising, public relations, social media and multi channel marketing are given particular emphasis in the course.

Fashion Buying and Merchandising

Textile Science and Technology

The Fashion Retail course provides students with an opportunity to focus on retail theory as well as textiles science and technology. The Fashion Retail course is designed to equip students with specialist knowledge on aspects of retailing theory most relevant to the fashion sector. The structure of the fashion retail sector is considered - from independent boutiques, through to high street retailers and online specialists such as ASOS. Retail is the study of channels to market and the supply chain. This emphasis on the supply chain gives an understanding of the processes from manufacture, through distribution, to the point of sale linking with consumer demand and operations management. Critical and strategic decisions around new markets, the nature of competitive advantage and opportunities driven by new technologies are all included in the course. The way in which retail offers businesses opportunities to add value and service to the fashion products sold by them is an example of the theory covered in the course, for example the use of flagship stores, mobile commerce, store environments including store design and experience as well as retail marketing. Students graduating from this course will typically go into a variety of roles in the retail sector, including store management, retail operations, logistics, merchandising and commercial strategy.

Fashion buying requires a strong commercial and analytical foundation. The course is designed to provide students with an appreciation of the creative fashion drivers needed to be a successful fashion buyer, such as the ability to pick out and identify trends, as well as a solid understanding of the business acumen required for the products they buy to be a commercial success. The strong textile science underpinning of the course will offer students a unique understanding as to the technical performance and construction of the garments. The course also provides an emphasis on the numerical and data analysis skills and knowledge essential to fashion buying. The role of the fashion buyer in a multi-functional team within the business is also emphasised, for example the way in which the buyer interacts with marketers to understand consumer demand, as well as merchandisers to facilitate the flow of stock in the most profitable way. The changing nature of the supply chain, in terms of the speed to market and continual buying cycles is introduced, including fast fashion and seasonal buying strategies.

The continuing evolution of the textile industry provides exciting opportunities, embracing the highperformance technical textiles sector, as well as the apparel and domestic textiles market. Recent innovations include microclimate control clothes, mobile communication platforms and medical textiles. The multidisciplinary nature of textiles requires high-calibre technical managers and researchers with expertise in engineering, chemistry, physics and electronics.
