NEW YORK (TheStreet) — On Tuesday, Best Buy’s interim CEO, Mike Mikan, held his first earnings conference call as the struggling retailer’s leader.
While the event produced largely underwhelming results, if you’re an optimist who can read between the lines and do some digging, there’s room for hope.
Best Buy failed shareholders and lost customers because it underestimated, never truly acknowledged and reacted with a staggering level of ineptitude to the still-emerging dominance of Amazon.com. …
