Understanding the changing face of commerce in a world of crises
 |
Vincent MAYET |
After the pandemic and the war, it is now the inflation crisis that is hitting the world trade economy, and the only certainty lies in the fact that we are now in an uncertain world.
New behaviours and new contexts are emerging from this accumulation of constraints.
The same trends are emerging on every continent and in every country.
How are physical shops evolving? How important is data in decision-making? How do professionals see the future of retail? What is the real role of all these emerging technologies that are spreading at breakneck speed?
These are just some of the questions that are at the heart of the concerns of today's global retailers.

While CHAT GPT is currently provoking a great deal of debate, AI has been widely used in the United States for many years, whether for recommendation algorithms on social networks or the use of household appliances. In Europe, it is still an obscure field, raising ethical and responsible questions such as: will AI replace humans? All these preconceptions aside, companies can now turn AI into a new source of value by offering a more personalised and inspiring experience to their customers, and also internally by improving the functionality of their tools and products.
