Walmart and Online Sales
Last month, I blogged about Amazon and their search for new second corporate headquarters. This time, I thought I'd mention Walmart. According to this New York Times article, Walmart is making a push to increase their online sales:
Given the competition, it's no small order. According to the Times article, one company, Amazon, rakes in roughly half of all online spending dollars. When you think about it, that's a pretty big chunk of change and online sales are having a major impact on retail. Taking the long view, I see something similar happening in my own profession as libraries go increasingly online/digital as well. I can only venture a guess as to what the future holds.
