Online auto retailer Carvana paid more than $2 billion to acquire ADESA, one of the largest wholesale auto auctions in the country. Nihar Shah (MMM ‘16) and his team were then tasked with driving operational efficiency and growth for ADESA. A year later, he and his team are doing just that — thanks to lessons Shah learned in Northwestern's MBA + MS Design Innovation (MMM) program. #businesstechnology #businessstrategy #designinnovation

The eCom world never stops turning. It was amazing having the brilliantly honest Millie Kendall O.B.E. on the first season of Tash Talks and I think she's hit the nail on the head here. If you're running an eCom business, it's never a closed shop. And while that's often great for business, it can have a massive impact on your life. Some of you may not be old enough to remember a time before big-time e-commerce, when business owners locked the doors of their retail outlets and flipped over the 'CLOSED' sign at the end of the day. They went home and forgot about everything until the next morning. Now, consumer expectations are higher, demand is fierce and they expect your brand to be on hand pretty much 24/7. And when things go wrong, as they did in Millie's sale story, it doesn't matter what time of day (or night) it is... Do you agree with Millie? What aspects of eCom do you find most difficult and challenging? And do you have any horror stories like Millie's?! I'd love to hear them 😆 #ecom #dtc #onlinebusiness #alwaysopen
