Retail is a key driving force of the global economy. The Centre for Advanced Retail Studies (CARS) is the only research centre in New Zealand focused on this exciting, diverse, dynamic and growing industry. We are defining retail research and business engagement in New Zealand.
CARS also serves as a mechanism to promote, connect, and help realise the University’s strategic priorities around the themes of AgriFood Business (particularly at Massey’s Albany campus), Creativity, Innovation, Sustainability, Health and Wellbeing, and Society.
Massey Business School presents a series of free seminars. These explore the challenges of doing business in the time of COVID-19 and help provide some guidance and reassurance as we pivot to the new normal. Retail-focused webinars are taking place every Wednesday for six weeks. Find out below how to join live or watch previous webinars.
We are a centre of excellence, dedicated to advancing the knowledge base of retailing in New Zealand and internationally.
We conduct multi-disciplinary, collaborative research which is relevant and has impact.
What are the big issues facing retail today? CARS leads a number of initiatives to isolate and debate the Big Issues.
The 2017 Big Issues in Retail Report is now available.
In addition to the BRBM, Massey offers several other courses and qualifications relevant to the retail industry at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Short courses are also available.
