Big-Box Stores Embrace Online Shopping, Begrudgingly
May 9, 2024
Big-box stores are adapting to e-commerce, shares The Wall St. Journal.  

Article figures:
  • In 2014, e-commerce was 6% of retail sales.  In 2023, it was 15%. 
  • Target fulfills almost 100% of online orders in-store and Walmart half of online orders in-store.

Cooperation Is Our Superpower

Scott Galloway, author and business savant, recently wrote an ode to collaboration that I liked:

"Humans ... evolved hiding in the trees while stronger, faster, and more sharply clawed creatures roamed the savanna. So we developed a robust neurological system for identifying threats, gauging their severity, and responding quickly, often before we’re conscious of the threat level. But fight-or-flight wasn’t enough to shepherd us out of the forests. First we had to develop our ...

May 7, 2024
Jinjoo Lee in The Wall St. Journal shares how the used car market has improved in the last 20 years because much of it is now conducted online.  When car buyers use the web, they are more likely to save money (saving about 2%), and dealers can, in theory, make more with dynamic pricing (about 2%)—thereby giving each party a win. Unlike 20 years ago, when we didn't have smartphones, today 95% of used car purchases start online. While 31% of used car purchases were completely in-person,...
