profits are falling sharply.Stores are closing.Malls are emptying.The depressingstories just keep coming.Reading the eamings announcements of large retail stores like Macy's,Nordstrom,and Target is about as uplifting as a tour of an intensive care unit.The interact isapparently taking down yet another industry.Brick and mortar stores (seem to be goingthe way of the yellow pages.Sure enough,the Census Bureau just released data showing thatonline retail sales surged 15.2 percent between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of2016.[B]But before you dump all of your retail stocks,there are more facts you should consider.Looking only at that 15.2 percent "surge"would be misleading.It was an increase that was on asmall base of 6.9 percent.Even when a tiny number grows by a large percentage terms,it is oftenstill tiny.[C]More than 20 years after the intemet was opened to commerce,the Census Bureau tellsus that brick and mortar sales accounted for 92.3 percent of retail sales in the first quarter of 2016.Their data show that only 0.8 percent of retail sales shifted from offline to online between thebeginning of 2015 and 2016.[D]So,despite all the talk about drone (deliveries to your doorstep,all the retailexecutives expressing anxiety over consumers going online,and even a Presidential candidateexclaiming that Amazon has a "huge antitrust problem,"the Census data suggest that physicalretail is thriving.Of course,the closed stores,depressed executives,and sinking stocks suggestotherwise.What's the real story?[E]Many firms operating brick and mortar stores are in trouble.The retail industry is gettingreinvented,as we describe in our new book Matchmakers.It's standing in the Path of whatSchumpeter called a gale (of creative destruction.That storm has been brewing for sometime,and as it has reached gale force,most large retailers are searching for a response.As the CFOof Macy's put it recently,"We're frankly scratching our heads."[F]But it's not happening as experts predicted.In the peak of the dot.com bubble,brick andmortar retail was one of those industries the intemet was going to kill-and quickly.The dot.combust discredited most predictions of that sort and in the years that followed,conventional retailers'confidence in the future increased as Census continued to report weak online sales.And then thegale hit.[G]It is becoming increasingly clear that retail reinvention isn't a simple battle to the deathbetween bricks and clicks.It is about devising retail models that work for people who are makingincreasing use of a growing array of intemet-connected tools to change how they search,shop,andbuy.Creative retailers are using the new technologies to innovate just about everything stores dofrom managing inventory,to marketing,to getting paid.[H]More than drones dropping a new supply of underwear on your doorstep,Apple'smassively successful brick-and-mortar-and-glass retail stores and Amazon's small steps in thesame direction are what should keep old-fashioned retailers awake at night.Not to mention thelarge number of creative new retailers,like Bonobos,that are blending online and offlineexperiences in creative ways.[I]Retail reinvention is not a simple process,and it's also not happening on what used to becalled "Internet Time."Some internet-driven changes have happened quickly,of course.Craigslistquickly overtook newspaper classified ads and turned newspaper economics upside down.Butmany widely anticipated changes weren't quick,and some haven't really started.With the benefitof hindsight(后见之明)，it looks like the interact will transform the economy at something likethe pace of other great inventions like electricity.B2B commerce,for example,didn't movemainly online by 2005 as many had predicted in 2000,nor even by 2016,but that doesn't mean itwon't do so over the next few decades.-5-
