“The 2015 retail industry will be significantly different from that
of today. Shopping will become more experiential; eating, being
entertained and ‘living’ the shopping experience will take
on prominence. The global market will grow rapidly in our
flat world.”
                       Retailing 2015: New Frontiers, PWC/TNS Retail Forward

“It has become clear that the retail industry is in a period of
unprecedented disruption and change. The impact that mobile
network access is having on customers, markets, and businesses
is the most dramatic example. However, a broader set of
technologies are interacting with social and economic
trends to create the future of retail.”
