What is it about businesses and not being able to shrink and grow over time appropriately. Everyone's bringing up what would and wouldn't work to sustain Radio Shack's 5000 stores. Does any business model every involve shrinking to accommodate or is it all about unsustainable growth and then bankruptcy and golden parachutes for all the guys who fail to see anywhere past 3 quarters?
I just don't understand the lack of creativity when things start going south. People try to hang onto what's not working until everything fails. Look at all the spinoff retail opportunities there are. Convert these radio shacks into this, and keep these like this. Then whatever works works, works and what doesn't try again. Otherwise what is the point of selling cables for 50x markup than having cash to keep on inventing.
