Less than a year ago we experienced a drastic change in the management of the Barnes & Noble bookstore, something that augured new expectations for the company. Ron Boire, the new CEO of Barnes & Noble it allowed for big changes.
However, what was promised by Barnes & Noble has not been fulfilled (one more thing) and Ron Boire will not assume full leadership as he has been fired from the company as recently announced. Ron Boire was the CEO of Barnes & Noble, a position he shared with Leonard Riggio until his retirement on September 14.
Barnes & Noble will continue with its projects despite the dismissal of Ron Boire
Apparently Ron Boire's new initiatives dislike Barnes & Noble shareholders and that is why the decision has been made that Leonard Riggio remain in command and Boire leave the company. Although it is also true that in the ad, Barnes & Noble have confirmed the continuity of the announced projectsThis means that they will continue with the remodeling of the stores as well as the sale of other products in addition to books and ebooks.
Nothing has been said about the Nook department and its future, but something tells me that such a topic has influenced this change of direction or at least that is what it seems after the mysterious mention, a mention that was made before this news. In any case, it seems that it is not good news for the company and its users. One more time Barnes & Noble is the protagonist because of the controversy and not because of the launch of an eReader or an ebook program. I know that the company wants to change its course, but once again this is not a good start, although it can open the doors to a great project What do you think?
