A Must for Global Growth
Demand is changing, not disappearing. The products people want, where and how they want to buy them, purchase motivators, and the continued torrid growth of e-commerce and integrated retail should all be subject to review and improvement.

In order to mark this event, this week’s Rickshaw Report is focuses on the Internet! 1.China’s online population hit 668 million in June 2015. How has the internet changed the lives of Chinese people? How can I answer this big question? Let’s just say the internet completely changed our lives. 2.What websites do you most often check out?

I have heard that some men have tried to cure their loneliness by moving abroad in order to find […]
