Doug Stephens: retail aftermath of Bangladesh

The Retail Revival.jpgIt's been almost four months now since we first heard about the collapse of a garment factory in Bangladesh.

That disaster put a lot of pressure on Western retailers to improve safety in their Bangladeshi factories.

Our retail analyst Doug Stephens is here to talk about how things have changed since then - and what still needs to be done.

Doug is also the author of the book The Retail Revival: Re-Imagining Business For The New Age of Consumerism.
