In this edition of This Week in Business History, Kelly Barner takes listeners back to visit an era and a place mythologized by one of the most popular Christmas stories of all time: A Christmas Carol. The story, which was written by Charles Dickens and published in 1843, addresses a number of economic and social issues that not only marked the impact of the Industrial Revolution and emerging middle class, but how poverty was viewed and treated by society at the time.

Innovación en la Gestión de Devoluciones: Una Conversación con David Sobie de Happy Returns
La mayoría de los minoristas no tienen un problema con su política de devoluciones. Tienen un problema de incentivos. En este episodio de Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton conversa con David Sobie, Cofundador y CEO de Happy Returns, para explorar en profundidad la crisis de las devoluciones y la logística inversa. David comparte más de una década de experiencia real ayudando a grandes marcas minoristas a convertir la fricción de la posventa en lealtad del cliente. Presenta datos clave de su último informe con la NRF, revelando un alarmante aumento en el fraude minorista, la innegable preferencia del consumidor por las devoluciones en persona, y por qué más del 70% de los comerciantes están abandonando las devoluciones gratuitas para evitar que el inventario muerto se acumule en los estantes.
