Scott Galloway认为Target正处于危机之中，沃尔玛正在蚕食其市场份额，Target需要精简公司规模并提高盈利能力，可能成为杠杆收购的目标。Comcast剥离有线电视资产是明智之举，这部分资产虽然衰落但现金流高，可以进行整合或作为壳公司收购其他类似资产。Ed对这些观点表示赞同，并补充了一些分析和数据。

Chapters

  • The new logo was likely approved due to the influence of design firms and their use of fancy terms.
  • Scott predicts this decision will be seen as one of the worst rebrands of all time.
