Confessions Of A Merchandiser
Confessions of a merchandiser
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be…This, in turn, means that our statesmen, our businessmen, our everyman must take on a science fictional way of thinking.
–Isaac Asimov
1st January 2016, times where technology is changing your life. It is making your home safer, protecting your kids and making this world a better place to live or making you redundant. Remember the times when we all thought the future belongs to knowledge workers, where bankers, investors, marketers, and merchandisers will earn many more times than a skilled manufacturing worker or a pizza delivery man.
In retrospect I must confess, I was as blind as everybody else was at that time. I joined an expensive program of merchandising and marketing management at one of the leading national institute. To be honest I was also lured by the great future of knowledge workers in future, growing empire of Wal-mart and organized retailing. Anyway, who can bet against it in those days.
It all went well till
