This is the Bezos-way. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos invests everything right back into the company. As a result, the net income is flat.
Wal-Mart is trying everything they can to beat Amazon at its own game: online retail. They're copycatting the Seattle web giant's same-day delivery and lockers services. But what they should be doing is focusing on the grocery aisles.

A few years ago, the CIGREF decided to launch an international research program in order “to better understand how the digital world is transforming our lives and our businesses”: the CIGREF Foundation leads the “Information System Dynamics” (ISD). As we were celebrating our forty years anniversary last year, a group of CIOs considered the future of the CIGREF and its strategic agenda. What is business in the digital world? What is “digital business”? What is the strategic roadmap from IT strategy to the digital world? The CIGREF has adopted a new mission: “promoting digital culture as a source of innovation and performance”. This book invites all company executives to develop ambitious digital strategies!
"We ain't seen nothing yet when it comes to technology's impact on the labor force."

What does “inspiration” look like for a retailer? In a nutshell, it’s about storytelling. Noting that successful non-profits inspire and motivate donors through great storytelling, Mehta suggested that retailers ask themselves whether they can differentiate themselves from their customers, influencers and staff. “What if you could give employees the power to curate a collection of your products on your site or even other sites, then allow people like your influencers to put those products in their blogs, across social media, through digital and/or physical displays?” Mehta asked. “That’s inspiration. That’s what will differentiate you from others in our fulfillment-based world.”
Mehta cautioned that his company is still in stealth mode and still has much to learn in this area, but that early results exceeded the company’s expectations. Thanks to early adopters, as of mid-January, Marketvine had seen an average of 40 percent lift in conversion, a 7-8 percent increase in average order value and an 80 percent improvement in on-site engagement.
