The Future of Retail and Will Amazon Be Part of It? with Retail Prophet's Doug Stephens (MDE303)

Doug Stephens is the founder of Retail Prophet and one of the world's foremost retail industry futurists. He's a powerful speaker, retail columnist for CBC Radio Canada and has also penned two respected books on retail. In this conversation with Doug, we focused our discussion on Amazon following his provocative article in BoF, entitled The End of Amazon. We look at how Amazon is doing, parallax blind spots, the purchase of Whole Foods, retail brands and we explore how the future of Amazon and retail could look.     Meanwhile, please send me your questions as an audio file (or normal email) to [email protected]; or you can find the show notes and comment on minterdial.com.
