Retail has evolved over the last ten years thanks to the rising popularity of online shopping and e-commerce. To remain relevant, many longstanding retailers have changed their traditional approaches, innovating more, and restructuring or changing their business models.

But innovation is a double-edged sword. It can sometimes be a springboard for a company to restructure; and other times it can lead fast growing innovative companies (or start-ups) to a sudden crisis.

Join this session held by the AIJA T.R.A.D.E. and INSOLVENCY Commissions. We will speak about how a retailer can face this digital turmoil. On one hand, it can be about redefining their business model and ethics to position vis-à-vis the market platforms. On the other hand, we can look at how they can restructure effectively. The first part of the session will be animated by many “success” and “failure” stories drawn from the recent past.

During the second part attendees will test their skills in preparing a pitch on a restructuring plan for a retail company. The audience will be the jury and they will vote for the pitch that was the most convincing!

Reinvent your retail business model and restructure before it’s too late!
