433- Big Box Competition

In a world where low costs are the primary motivating factor for a large portion of consumers, big box stores have found a major foothold in many markets around the world. On the surface, this can seem like a win for people who need access to affordable goods, but the reality is that the practices of the warehouse giants can stifle competition and create monopolistic environments that end up harming the communities they claim to serve. As more shopping moves to the internet and the big box stores continue to streamline their operations with the help of big data, countless mom-and-pop stores are continuing to go under due to the inability to compete with the massive resources of this corporate competition and the stifling effect of regulations that these giants lobby for. In this week’s episode, Phil and Danielle discuss the ethics and implications of investing in these big box retailers, and what their success means for the business community at large.
