| What will you do if your marriage is ending?
June is a popular time for weddings. This month also marks the 50th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, the U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down the ban on interracial marriages, as well as the second anniversary of the court’s most recent landmark marriage decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, which allowed same sex couples to wed. A spouse may be the only family member we are free to choose, but what happens if the choice no longer works?

When unexpected market dynamics affect your business, how will you respond?
Last Thursday, the supermarket industry was preparing for the entry into the U.S. market of German grocery chain Lidl. Less than 24 hours later, the news of Lidl’s arrival was overshadowed by Amazon’s announcement that it is purchasing Whole Foods. Amazon’s acquisition, if completed, will move the company’s well-developed supply chain deeper into bricks and mortar. Surprisingly, Amazon also holds an antishowrooming patent which acts to intercept in-store price comparisons. The impact of this deal on retail are likely to be far-reaching.
