BRICKS AND MORTAR

The continuing migration away from the physical structure of offices is overwhelming.  Once contained within the "bricks and mortar" of industrialization, we are now existing happily productive at the end of a coaxial cable.

Further, we book our trips online -- have you noticed that most travel shops have disappeared?

We download our music -- most music shops have disappeared.

We rent our movies online -- most movie rental shops have disappeared.

We now, at an ever increasing rate download our books -- and our bookstores are striving to maintain a strong online presence while diversifying their in-store product breadth.

Where "bricks and mortar" were once the big plus on the balance sheet, today their elimination is often the means to reduced overhead, resulting in increased price competitiveness, and then increased profitability.

Is the increasing migration away from the "bricks and mortar" costs of owning and maintaining "buildings" of all types the plumb line to a survival strategy that works in the new competitive world as we now know it?
