Resurrecting Retail

BESTSELLING AUTHOR, LEADING EXPERT: Stephens previous book, Reengineering Retail, was a bestseller in North America and Japan and sold 50,000 copies worldwide. It was sold into four foreign languages, and Japanese rights have already been sold for Resurrecting Retail. It will be one of the early books on how the pandemic has effected retail and will get strong interest from people working in the retail sector. He has great credibility to those in the industry and is considered a true expert in the field. He appears regularly in major publications, such as The Globe and Mail and Forbes, as a guest columnist.

GREAT WRITING, GREAT ANALYSIS: Like his previous books, this is an engaging and lively read -- Stephens is an accomplished writer and weaves a compelling narrative of the past retail world and the one that is coming. His analysis is deep, thoughtful and data-driven.

NEW WORLD COMING: Stephens view is that the pandemic is a seismic event for the retail sector that will change it forever. The apex-predators like Amazon, Walmart and Alibaba will consolidate their power. However various sub-sectors will be open for smaller competitors to gain a foothold and grow more than they would have otherwise.
