From booz&co. Given the economic outlook and the dearth
of cost-cutting opportunities, we believe the primary
means of achieving top-line growth will come from three
levers: online, through the continued investment in
digital capabilities; innovation, through the creation
of new formats, categories, and customer experiences;
and international, through the leveraging of
fast-growing markets. We believe the new year will be
similar to the last and the economy will probably
continue on a slow, tenuous growth path. pdf
