Aradhna Krishna weighs in on bookseller’s bankruptcy, August 2011
ANN ARBOR, Mich.—Now that Borders has announced it will liquidate its assets and close its remaining 399 stores, industry observers are speculating about
the long-term impact on authors, consumers, and the bookseller’s competitors. In this
podcast (text),
Aradhna Krishna, Dwight F. Benton Professor of Marketing,
retraces the company’s steps leading to its ultimate downfall. Management’s inability to forecast trends, such as online sales and e-readers, and its slow
reaction time to changes in consumer behavior played a critical part in the organization’s demise, she says.
