In 2011, American retailer JCPenney was in big trouble. They needed a miracle, so they made a big bet on a new CEO - retail superstar Ron Johnson. An ambitious and accomplished retailer, Johnson made some bold moves with the JC Penny brand. And the result? Well, it was a huge failure. Unsurprisingly, there was some psychology and behavioral science to blame (whether Johnson knew it or not). Join me today as I unpack the failed rebrand of JCPenney - the psychological missteps and how overlooking customer psychology nearly killed the brand.
