The Retail Analogy: How it Applies to the Future of Offices

The transition from in-person shopping to e-commerce offers an analogy for the future of office spaces. Just as people now have the option to shop from home, they can also do low quality work from home. This means that office spaces need to focus on providing a high quality experience to attract people. Similar to how high quality shopping malls thrived while low quality ones declined, high quality office spaces are likely to do well while low quality ones will struggle.
