From the Principal's Office
Well, 2007 ended with no bang at all. The first few weeks of 2008 weren’t full of great news either. While some retailers are holding their own, companies with which I grew up, such as Levitz, Lillian Vernon, Fortunoff’s, and other newer companies like Sharper Image, are either operating under bankruptcy protection, or have ceased operating. A number of other household names are closing stores totaling in the 100s. What can retailers do? What can information systems departments do to stem the tide? What can we do to help you?
