Energy security: Habeck employees are said to have ignored concerns about the nuclear phase-out

Quick Glance: CDU Official Demands Halt to Nuclear Power Plant Decommissioning

A revelation from "Cicero" magazine indicates that the decision for Germany's nuclear phase-out was primarily driven by green anti-nuclear activists, sparking harsh criticism towards Economy Minister Robert Habeck.

The Economy Ministry refutes the "Cicero" portrayal, emphasizing that decisions were based on transparent and open-ended evaluations.

The CDU and FDP criticize Habeck, calling for clarification and a reassessment of the nuclear power plant decommissioning.

Experts and politicians express concerns over potential public misrepresentation and the erosion of trust in the government due to the revelations from the documents.

Nike CEO says focus on its own website and stores went too far as it embraces wholesale retailers again

cnbc.com/2024/04/12/nike-ceo-acknowledges-it-went-too-far-in-direct-push.html

Quick Glance: Nike CEO Acknowledges Shift from Direct Sales Focus

Nike CEO John Donahoe acknowledged that the company deviated too far from wholesale partners like Macy's and DSW in its pursuit of primarily selling products through its own stores and website.

Over recent years, Nike has actively worked on restructuring its business model. Initially focused on selling sneakers and clothing in department stores and specialty shops, the brand now generates the majority of its revenue through direct-to-consumer sales.

This transition enabled Nike to significantly increase revenue and enhance customer insights through data analysis. Donahoe stated that Nike has tripled its mobile and digital business in the past four years.

Some analysts view Nike's avoidance of wholesale partners as a misstep that hindered the company's progress in innovation and product development.
