Task:
- The article below shows how the Blockbuster company flop and failed. This is because of the increase of online sale of DVDs and the growth of online streaming services for movies and shows. Blockbuster failed to respond to the changes of technology and the rise of these online services. Therefore they are now struggling and have put thousands of their employees' jobs under threat.
- The company HMV also failed to react to online services and at risk of closure of all their stores. As explained on the article below, HMV did not fully take advantage of the internet. Therefore they were not competitive enough to compete with Amazon and iTunes. This has led them to lose customers and low sales.
