Resurrecting Retail is the story of the unprecedented crash of an industry—and a road map for its rebirth.

Few crises in modern history have so completely disrupted every aspect of daily life as the COVID-19 pandemic. Every market, industry, profession, service, and category of product has in some way been rocked by its impact.

The crisis has not only amplified trends that were already in place, but has also created a unique evolutionary window of opportunity for the “apex predators” in the retail landscape, Amazon, Alibaba, JD.com, and Walmart.

In Resurrecting Retail, international best-selling author and retail futurist Doug Stephens provides a comprehensive and surprising assessment of how the crisis has accelerated the reshaping of consumer life—and offers an actionable and inspiring vision for brands and business leaders looking not only to survive but to thrive in the new reality.
