團(tuán)購(gòu)剛剛開(kāi)始流行的時(shí)候,,圍繞著它的大肆吹捧讓人想起90年代末的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)泡沫?,F(xiàn)在我們已經(jīng)看到了惡果。最新的例證是團(tuán)購(gòu)網(wǎng)站LivingSocial將裁員400人,,而團(tuán)購(gòu)行業(yè)的龍頭Groupon的日子也不好過(guò),。或許,,這一切都表明,,團(tuán)購(gòu)并不是種優(yōu)秀的商業(yè)模式,并不能代表電子商務(wù)的未來(lái),。
???? ????可悲的是,,當(dāng)初團(tuán)購(gòu)業(yè)還是朝陽(yáng)產(chǎn)業(yè)的時(shí)候,,很少有科技行業(yè)的投資人和觀察人士想到這一點(diǎn)。他們只看到團(tuán)購(gòu)用戶(hù)數(shù)一開(kāi)始在快速增長(zhǎng),,因此便斷定團(tuán)購(gòu)代表了在線商務(wù)的未來(lái),。但事實(shí)讓投資者學(xué)到了苦澀的一課——團(tuán)購(gòu)并不代表未來(lái)。 ????譯者:樸成奎 |
???? ????Sadly, very few investors or observers of the tech business thought of any of this when the sector was new. They just looked at the (initially) fast-growing use of coupons and decided it represented the future of online commerce. As investors are now painfully learning, it doesn't. |
