Description

In this episode of The I.A.D.S. Retail Park 🎧, Maya and Christine explore Benedict Evans’ provocative take on retail transformation. What do Netflix, Shopify, and Shein have in common? ✨ They’ve all used tech not to upgrade existing models, but to unbundle and rebuild entire value chains. From L’Oréal’s 25% direct-to-consumer shift to Amazon’s $31 billion ad business, our hosts unpack how every retail function—manufacturing, distribution, advertising, wholesale—is being deconstructed and reassembled. 🛍️ Learn why the question isn’t if your business will be unbundled, but when—and whether you’ll control the rebundle.
