Years of management by incompetents. You’d think that if anyone could handle the Internet revolution it would be Sears, which made tons of its profits off its mail catalog for decades. Hard to believe nobody there had the brains to say, “Hey, this Internet thing is just like our old catalog paradigm, only better for us and our customers. Let’s get movin’ on it.”

The story I hear - and I used to work for Sears back in the 1990’s - was that internet retail was “a pie-in-the-sky dream” that would never go anywhere.
