I don't know how but with thousands of business and marketing majors graduating each year there must be a way.
Bookstores are failing now. What do they have to lose by not trying something creative? Bold? Daring?
The booksellers in the UK cant compete with Amazon on hardcovers so all that's left are ebooks. They need a physical store, device or app with superior shopping and reading experiences. Without those what is left?
