have life cycles

same products coexist within a convenient location
of the consumer without much differentiation in
price.
• One example of retail convergence would be a
shopping mall where consumers can compare
pricing and models at different locations less than a
quarter mile from another store.
• The world's largest retail convergence has already
begun, it is called the Internet.
