German term or phrase: Betriebswirtschaftslehre des Handels
Business administration or business economics but what about "des Handels"?

This is from a cv. The person studied Betriebswirtschaftslehre focussing (mit Schwerpunkt) on *Betriebswirtschaftslehre des Handels* so I have to refine the definition beyond the translation of Betriebswirtschaftslehre-perhaps "commercial business administration"?
This wouldn't be such a common term except that it is the title of a highly successful book.

Suggestions for for a translation of the whole expression would be gratefully received.

This seems to be spot on-instead of choosing between Services and Management I included both words (viz Services Management).
Many thanks to everyone.

neutral  Nicholas Krivenko: "Handel" is not always retail. What about "Großhandel"?

agree  Terry Gilman: the guy studied business with an emphasis on retailing. Strictly speaking NK is right, but practically, it's retail, not "commercial," which is little used in mono-English, only in EuroEnglish/translatorese, I'm afraid to say
