Shuffling of execs at Best Buy tells major story about multi-channel focus...
Best Buy has taken a big step by aligning ownership of both store and Web operations to a single EVP. This is a very telling announcement. Many retailers are looking to align not only systems and technologies to deliver a multi-channel experience but also business ownership and accountability as well.
"Best Buy Co. has announced several executive changes, including hiring a new chief information officer for North America and giving the head of U.S. web sites oversight of the company’s 872 U.S. stores."
