So here’s a quiz for you: if you were going to buy a TV, how would you  go about doing it? 

If you are like most of us, you’d go look online,  find the model that you wanted, and then order it online. The idea of  going to a store and picking one out is something that a lot of us no  longer consider. Product managers for stores are starting to realize  this and they are starting to look at their product development  definition and make adjustments to meet the new world that they find  themselves living in. 

What’s happening is that stores are now being  transformed into warehouses.
