Technology and other digital trends can disrupt even the most renowned brands’ retail strategies. Household names like Compaq, Sunbeam, and Digital Equipment Corporation collapsed from increased competition, demand, and innovation. Why couldn’t these companies remain in business, and what can you learn from their failures?

According to research conducted by tech authorities Rolando Rosas and Dave Kelly, formerly acclaimed businesses couldn’t rebound after struggling to innovate efficiently. For instance, Digital Equipment Corporation refused to transition from its proprietary mainframe to the modems required to adopt PCs. Similarly, after competing steadily with other computer companies like HP and Dell, Compaq failed to maintain effective channel distribution and met its demise after Microsoft pioneered software. For home appliance company Sunbeam, quality control issues and a lack of investments in innovation led to bankruptcy. Rolando and Dave maintain that unified communication and solid manufacturing, distribution, and innovation strategies are key to outperforming the competition.

In this episode of What The Teck? Rolando Rosas and Dave Kelly analyze companies’ failed comebacks. Together, they share how modern companies innovate to adapt to digital trends, how to navigate the competitive digital market, and the Toys-R-Us resurgence model.

With cryptocurrency gaining traction in the stock market, many people want to capitalize on its financial benefits. So, what does this digital currency entail, and what should you consider before investing?

Crypto is a decentralized form of currency that does not rely on third-party mediation from banks or other government entities. It uses automation to process multiple transactions almost instantly and can be traded digitally. NFTs also transfer value, but unlike crypto, they are individually verified intellectual property and can’t be exchanged. Both digital assets exist within the blockchain, a secure distributed database that stores a record of transactions. While cryptocurrency and NFTs allow for financial freedom, they can also be regulated and banned by individual governments.

In today’s episode of What The Teck?, Rolando Rosas and Dave Kelly sit down with Adam Mastrelli, Partner at Woodstock Fund, to discuss cryptocurrency, NFTs, and blockchain. Adam talks about the evolution of the internet, tokenizing and decentralized finance, and the capabilities, benefits, and risks of smart contracts and automated transactions.
