Business Experience: The Business Wisdom of China's Top Ten Business Groups

Chapter 13 Appendix 2
10 businesses on the brink of extinction in the next 10 years The NBC website has selected 10 businesses on the verge of extinction in the next 10 years:
1. Record store

Not long ago, Thor Video Stores, the world's leading video retailer, closed all 89 of its stores because it decided it couldn't compete with online video stores and chains like Wal-Mart, which not only sells cheap but also Can sell other merchandise to make up for the lack of record sales.

2. Film manufacturing
According to the US "Chicago Tribune" report, between May 2006 and May 5, sales of digital cameras increased by 2007%, and the amount of digital photo development increased by 5%.Meanwhile, film camera sales fell 5%.

3. Crop Duster Aircraft
It may still exist in 10 years, but I am afraid it will not be in the current model.The number of crop dusting planes is dwindling, and the business is inherently dangerous.

4. Gay bars
As a recent article in the Orlando Sentinel pointed out, as gay men and women become more acceptable in society, gay bars across the United States will continue to close.

5. Newspaper
Since the advent of the Internet in the 20s, the number of newspapers has plummeted.Prior to this, the U.S. Publishing Audit Office announced the newspaper sales twice every six months, with an average decline of 90% and 6% respectively.Newsrooms across the U.S. are laying off massive numbers of workers.

6. Coin-operated public telephones

There were more than 1997 million coin-operated payphones in the United States in 200; today there are about half that number.But perhaps places like airports and restaurants will still provide coin-operated payphones.

7. Used bookstores
Second-hand bookstores have been closed one after another, and those who are still in business rely on the Internet to make a living, and it is the Internet that has eliminated second-hand bookstores.Now, just type the title of a book into a web search engine and order the book you want in minutes.

8. Piggy bank

As we move towards a paperless society, it's not hard to imagine a day when piggy banks will cease to exist.

9. Telemarketing
The line may be dying, but it may take a while.The U.S. telemarketing industry once created an annual turnover of 3930 billion U.S. dollars, but this is inseparable from the credit of clever sales methods, such as holding prize sales activities in large shopping malls. If customers fill in their personal information, it is equivalent to agreeing to answer calls from the event organizer. and its partners.

10. Coin-operated arcade
With the emergence of Nintendo Wii game consoles, online casual games and Xbox360 game consoles, the video game industry is booming, but independent physical game arcades are not, and their disappearance seems to be only a matter of time. Ten years ago, there were 10 game arcades in the United States, but now there are only about 1.
