RETAIL THERAPY

Mark Pilkington

Why The Retail Industry Is Broken – And What Can Be Done To Fix It

An insightful review of the collapse of the traditional retail sector in the West, and a roadmap for its potential recovery.
“This is the book that many people will have been waiting for – an explanation of what is happening to retailing, and what can be done about it.” Lord Hague of Richmond, Former UK Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs

Current news is full of stories about disappearing retail chains – some of which have been around for decades. While many people will point a finger at the ‘Amazon effect', this is an oversimplification. Deeper forces are at work that are changing people's relationships with brands, the balance of power between producers and consumers, and the whole nature of the supply chain that has existed since the industrial revolution.

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of these forces and their impact on retail, presenting an analysis of the longer term trends driving retailing, and outlining the path to future success.

Mark Pilkington is an experienced retail chief executive and strategy consultant. After graduating from INSEAD, he joined Courtaulds, later becoming CEO of Gossard where he was responsible for initiating the huge global success of Wonderbra. Country of residence: UK
