Walmart's Sudden Self-Checkout Policy Change Shakes the Billion-Dollar Retail Industry | Paradigm Shifts | Scoop.it

PayPal's Bullish Paradigm Shift Is Finally Here | Paradigm Shifts | Scoop.it
I like the way PayPal's management team tries to expand its addressable market by offering new fintech solutions to its users.
