So is it just me or does the main example in this article have a glaring flaw? One that appears right in the first sentence?
For a decade, Target (TGT) outsourced its website operations to Amazon.com (AMZN).
I don't know about the other retailers, but Target's recruitment problem begins and ends in this sentence. Target lost the talent war a decade ago; it just took until now for the seeds of their destruction, which they planted and fertilized in Amazon's organization, to grow tall enough to be noticeable.
Oh, well, I'm sure the management genius who scored a short-term boost in profits by feeding the seed corn to Amazon collected a nice bonus.
