The Playbook
After seven years of working out of coffee shops, I finally have an office to call home. But not an office in the traditional sense — rather I'm now one of the 150,000-plus members of the WeWork community, which work out of its 227 co-working office locations in 53 cities around the world. WeWork, whose inspirational mission is "to create a world where people work to make a life, not just a living", isn't just for coffee shop refugees like myself, but for companies — both big and small. Ironically, guess which company has sub-leased four of the five floors in WeWork's new Vancouver location? You guessed it — Amazon (vancouversun.com).Please check out our note below to learn more about these and other structural disruption developments along the retail shoreline involving Alphabet, Apple, BMW, Dongfeng Motor, eBay, Freshii, JD.com, Microsoft, Naspers, Nordstrom, NVIDIA, Overstock.com, Philips Lighting NV, Priceline, SAIC, Sears Holdings, Shake Shack, Target, Walmart, and Yelp.
