Google searches itself to bring diversity from out in. It’s interesting to hear that their approach is not top-down driven but moreso a ground-swell that leadership has supported whether it be through recruiting methods (see BOLD) or in acknowledging that they have a talented person, recognizing fit and finding a better place for them to grow and be successful rather than just forcing them out. It will be interesting to look at Google’s trends over a 3, 5 and 10-year horizon to see how these efforts have paid off. And I say this not only in balancing out their diversity numbers but that the company has even greater success then it has to this date because of the diversity it has sought out, fostered and retained.

Is this the end of eCommerce and the revival of brick & mortar? With Alibaba’s $2.88 billion purchase of a stake in a top Walmart competitor in the Chinese market one would not be faulted for answering that question affirmatively but this is probably moreso that latest stage of the Imperial Army slowly mowing down the last of the Rebels. Sure companies like Amazon and eBay are never going to forsake their digital platforms but they have wrecked enough carnage in the brick & mortar world to now have a wide enough birth to start becoming omni-channel players. What does this mean for the surviving brick & mortar companies? Be afraid. Be very afraid. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/alibaba-spending-2-9-billion-111959145.html
