Traditional Roots Hold Futuristic Results
With the rise in online buying, mail ordering, and voice automated phone services, it seems as if businesses have became "faceless." No longer is it becoming common practice to place an order from someone you actually know—whether that order is placed by an online shopping cart, a phone transaction, or even in person at the actual brick and mortar store. No longer do you call and ask for your favorite employee to help you in placing your order, or even call to see how the owners of a store are getting along. Generally these days, when placing orders you are dealing with a machine in some sort, in hopes that that machine will later connect your information with an actual living and breathing employee. But who exactly is in charge of the company that you are dealing with? Of course this question can be easily distracted by the artistic layouts of the company logo, or even by the company’s mission statement; but I want to know who the actual owner and top employees are who represent that company. What do these people look like? What do they value? What do they have to offer to you as a customer? And most importantly for this topic, why are they hiding behind their own technology?
