Is the traditional Retail Business Model Dead? Retail Trends and Outlook 2020Retail businesses face a critical question that will need addressing over the next years – are they going to play a role as a 21st century enterprise or not. Increasing numbers of CEO’s within the sector have acknowledged that building a business model that can operate successfully in the future is pivotal whilst at the same time a large majority admit they are not there yet. It is also clear that the business model of physical stores is not going to exist anymore at the same scale it does today. This does not mean though physical stores have no role to play. |
