In 2009, Detroit, Michigan experienced an aggressive recession as compared to the rest of country. With unemployment rates topping 15%, the city was faced with many challenges financially, economically, and socially.
In addition to the financial challenges, the city was also experiencing political instability and corruption. Various major city officials were being investigated for fraud, bribery, and other criminal charges.

It strove to improve the in-store experience for shoppers, added cafes, and experimented with new concepts. Such a strategy may have worked a few decades earlier, but while Borders was investing in physical real estate, shoppers were flocking to the Internet. Borders was left with a conflicted strategy: Declining sales forced it to close hundreds of stores (including its entire Waldenbooks chain), while it doubled down on other retail outlets. Unfortunately, it treated the Internet like a passing trend instead of as a transformational phenomenon. The company outsourced its Web operation to Amazon—which obviously became a fierce rival. It waited until 2008 to develop its own Web strategy. Meanwhile, Amazon became the dominant player in online bookselling and e-books, introducing the Kindle e-reader. Its big brickand-mortar rival, Barnes & Noble, a…arrow_forward
