Sears' Slow Descent: Failing to Adapt to the Rise of E-commerce

This episode examines the gradual decline of Sears, once a retail powerhouse that failed to keep pace with the shift to e-commerce. We'll explore how Sears' leadership underestimated the threat of online shopping, clinging to their traditional brick-and-mortar model even as competitors like Amazon disrupted the industry. We'll look at Sears' failed attempts to adapt, including their acquisition of Kmart, and the internal politics and resistance to change that contributed to the company's eventual bankruptcy.
