Retailing 2020: Winning in a polarized world
Retailing 2020: Winning in a polarized world identifies economic drivers that will likely shape the future of the US retail landscape.
By 2020, retailers will need to transform themselves and adapt to an increasingly polarized world of greater channel fragmentation, non-store retail growth, smaller formats and retail footprints that may not involve physical stores at all.
